OK. Now that this is done, except for knowing who the winner is, I've something to say. Having been on the receiving end of a box worth of flies from the fine folk on this board a couple of years ago and, having been and still, catching fish on those flies, I can say that it is the flies and not the box that truly makes this so special. There are so many good tiers here and the box holds so many flies that the winner will likely be fishing them for years to come. One of you lucky bastards is going to have a little treasure trove of trout catching magic.
Have fun.
You most fortunate *. I carry that nymph box almost every time I am chasing trout and am constantly amazed at and reminded of the quality of people here. Added to that bit of wonder I carry is the person that made that unlooked for gift happen is…Benny. The same guy what put on this little, or not so little shindig. So while I did not take part in this deal, I'd like to thank Benny for his efforts with this. Not only is someone going to get a mighty gift from all involved, but everyone who watched the progress of this undertaking has had the pleasure of seeing some mighty nice flies come in to be photo'd by Benny for display.
So Benny, Thanks!
