Cool, I can have the flies in pretty quick 2-3 evenings as I am tying like a madman to replenish a lost box (Unlike David, who is tying on the high rd. I happen to be doing the walk of shame for loosing my box :mrgreen: ) I never got around to filling back up until the last couple of weeks, I can do a few each session to break the repetitiveness.
As I take it there is no due date?

Not really, sort of giving a rough date of around mid April 2012, which should be plenty of time for everyone.

Out of curiosity Benny, is it acceptable to do two different patterns? 8 of one fly, 9 of another? Perhaps a dry and nymph pattern?

If you guys want to do that, it's up to you. That would be fine with me.

I have a weighted nymph pattern that works pretty well nearby and in the sierras...

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=6012

Normally do it in 10s - 12s but could do 14s, sounds like I have some competition for crappy tier award.

I'll whip up some Klinkhammers.
Noob question... should I leave the barbs intact or pinched?
