Default Need a fly tying project

Hello Everyone, I'm after a fly tying project to take me up to about christmas time before my own winter replenishment of boxes takes place.

Heres the deal, I will tie 100 flies for someone.

I need a list of 10 patterns & preferred sizes, I'll tie 10 of each pattern with some variations on each pattern, remember these will be my individual take on the pattern I'm not really a regimental tyer.

Whoever (if anyone is interested) I choose to tie for must provide a flybox with space for 100 flies and the required hooks, I'll do the rest.

I will select not on a first come first served basis, but I'll select the list of 10 patterns which best suits my ability, enjoyment level, and current stock of materials.

You must be patient, it could take me up to Christmas or I might go mental and do them in a couple of days but at this stage I make no promises.

There is, I suppose a slight risk attached as I don't post pictures of my tyings, so you don't know at this stage if I'm good, bad or indifferent.

If anyone is interested, please reply by PM.

Just as a thought Matty, you could look at tying them for someone like Casting for Recovery, I am sure they would be very appreciative of 100 flies. Whoever you do them for, it's a very generous offer.

Power to your elbow (and fingers)...............I'll second Tony, I reckon casting for recovery (or similar) are more deserving than us load of reprobates...................birdsnest
