Nice tie, Jim. Very "007". :rockon:

Well, I'm sitting here in my room in Key West after work tying flies anyways because I'm bored. Oh, and I tie some at work because I sit around a lot when our jet fighters are out flying missions. Anyways, if you want another tier, I would like to join up. Heck, I tied 12 flies today sitting at a desk at work. I've looked at all the flies that have come in so far, and well, I know I'm not in that league. But, I know my flies do produce, so I'll churn out some darn good looking flies for someone.

Hey Scott, Welcome to FFA When you coming home? We need to hit some local waters when you get back.

Scott "Troutinator", you're in. Thanks for joining in on the fun, and welcome to the forum.

Anyone else wanting to join in, only 2 Spots left!

Glad to be here and time to start tying more flies.

Gary, Denise said Amy is coming down to fly fish with her and Michelle this weekend. How's that coming along? I come home next week, but it's our anniversary and we've got plans, that somehow involved fly fishing.

Hi Benny,
This sounds like a great contest! I wanted to know if i could join in, I can tie the flies and send them in quick. Thank you. :bananadance:

Eatcrappie...Welcome to the forum and perhaps this little contest. Interesting screen name...once you get entered, tell us a little bit about yourself.

Eatcrappie, you're in. Welcome to the forum.

This GS Fly Box Giveaway is officially CLOSED! We have all the participants for this one guys. For those that have not turned in flies, you guys have about a month and a half or so to get the flies in. To those who have sent in the flies already, thanks for getting the flies in way before the due date. Good luck to you all, someone is going to be really happy with this full fly box. That's going to be 408 flies in one box! Just do the math on these, if you were to buy them at the shop, they would cost you a small fortune. Again... thanks to all of you who are participating in this giveaway.

Thanks Benny, for putting it on and for your incredible photography of the flies. You even made mine look good. 408 flies will be an amazing bonus for one of us.

Jim,
I hope he can do magic with the lens on my flies when I send them in. I'm tying up a bunch of parachute Adams, mostly size 18, but I'm doing a few in size 26, because I can, more or less. I'm limited with my material here in Key West, but they're coming out good and I use them a lot on the Kings as well as Sierra creeks.

Hey I remember that fly! Will have to tie some up for the next trip to the ES.
