Fly Giveaway

[lee majors]

heya all

I have recently started tying my own flies and have enjoyed it so much I am doing away with my shop bought flies. I have realised that having a couple of fly boxes stuffed full of flies that I do not know how to fish or even know the name of is detrimental to my fishing as i was getting into the habit of swopping flies too often and not taking the time to fish one pattern properly. From now on I am only going to fish flies that I have

a. tied myself
b. know what it is and WHY I am using it

So the upshot is that I have approx 100 or so flies (mixture of dries/wets/lures/nymphs/buzzers) that I am giving away free to a good home. I would like them to go to somebody who really NEEDS them rather than somebody who just WANTS some free flies so if you need some flies send me a PM and I will send them to the most worthy cause.........

p.s I am keeping a couple of daddys and klinks as I have not got the hand of tying them yet

Good for you LeeMajors.
I won't ask for them, as I am in the same position as you.i.e starting to tie my own.

One thing I do find useful though is to keep just one of each pattern which you intend to tie as a comparison.
When I do this it shows me what they SHOULD look like, although they often don't.
Good luck with the tying.
Regards,
Gary

Hi Lee, why not send them to that casting for recovery organization. Seems a worth cause.
