Default Lot 14 - 24 River flies tied by Dave Witshire

A fantastic donation of some of his superb river flies from Dave Wiltshire. Many thanks for supporting the auctions again this year Dave with this, the first of two lots you have donated. Really appreciate it

The lot consists of two dozen flies (12 dries, 12 nymphs) from the River Fly Box, trout, flies, tying, patterns, CDC, emergers, dry, nymphs all hand tied by Dave. The selection includes CDC Duns, paraduns, brassies and biot nymphs.

A great opportunity to win some superb quality flies

Can we start the bidding at £5.00

C'mon dont insult the guy (any more than is necessary anyhow) Dave's work is absolutely marvellous... for a tenner you'd expect the things to be tied by some p1ss ignorant savage from the third world. Dave might be two out of three of those... but he lives near Bristol... oh hang on...

£35 and they're cheap at that...

Hey... come on... no offence intended at all. Just a bit of banter... I'm sorry if it felt harsh. I was just making the point that £10 for 2 dozen flies tied by someone of Dave's skill, and for a children's hospice charity...

It isn't about seeking bargains is it?

You are right that is why it is a bidding situation. I found your comments poor and borderline offensive.I am not seeking bargains and have bid and won at least one of the lots.

No offence taken by me folks. TM was just trying to boost the price of these rather inadequate, pretend flies. I would bid myself if I hadn't seen them

Now, if they make over £50+ for GH, then they'll come furnished in a Fishpond fly box too Then all you have to do is chuck the flies and fill it with something you really want to use...
