Just a couple of months left for this fly box giveaway, and only 3 spots left... For those that are already participating in the giveaway, if these last 3 spots don't fill, I'll fill in the last three sections myself. The 21 participants will have a little better odds of winning this fly box. Looking forward to filling the entire box, the first two section are already filled and looking pretty sweet!

Benny-
Got my flies ready. I tied a "Goldfinger" using some of Singlebarb's incredible wet fly dubbing. I know they catch fish as I had my first two digit fish day using them on the Big Reedy. Little Brown's simply would not stay off of them and even made leaps as they hit the water.

Also...do you need me to tie up another set of flies? I'm game if you need me to!

Could you PM me your addy?

Isn't that fun? Love when fish attack a fly that way. :D
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Bump,
So once Wildmans flies are in then we should need 2 more sets right?

Benny I think that you've done too much with this here contest. Take a seat and enjoy my friend, if we need to Borntoflyfish and I will take up the slack.

What do you say, one more week to see if we have a couple of more tiers?
If not I'll get started on another set.

Okay... we could give it a little more time, then we could go ahead and make the decision on the remaining spots. I have the flies to cover the remaining spots already, so not to worry guys.

Very nice ties, Jim. Your tying has come along very well. I wish I could say the same for my own. Maybe if I'd not stopped tying for a year and a half. :oops: Oh well, I am still catching fish on my ties so that's main goal in terms of approval for me.

Thanks, Darrin...I think the worse my vision gets ( I have a cataract in one eye that will be repaired in the fall), the better I tie.
