Just a heads up. I haven’t had time to finish up my flies. Hopefully the weather won’t get too bad this weekend and I can work on them Saturday. So far my creations have been unworthy of putting in the swap. I’m planning to run by the angler today or tomorrow to pick up some new materials and start fresh. Either way, I’ll be at the cook off around 330 Sunday if ya’ll still want and I’ll make sure that all of you get the flies. ■■■■ work and a summer flu (along with more wedding planning) took up most of my evenings for the last two weeks.
i understand ill be her about 330 too on sunday. supposedly this storm is supposed to be gone by sunday so hopefully it wont be too bad.

wasnt happy with my flies so i picked a different pattern, a toad variation. Will see yall at 3 30.

I had fun as well and all of the flies looked great. I will wet them later this week and see how they fare. Details to follow.

Great meeting you all as well. The flies have given me some new ideas and I appreciate all the tips and local knowledge for a newbie.
Shadowgrass, thanks for the info on night fishing patterns. I’m already working on gummi minnows for some dock light fishing this week, let me know if you want to meet up and go sometime.
Scotty thanks for taking me out today for some paddling practice haha. I learned a lot though and appreciate you sharing your spots. Let’s do it again and maybe the fish will actually show up.

Just a quick update. Chattahoochee is finishing up his pattern and should have it to me this week sometime. I still haven’t heard from Mad Mike. Everyone else, make sure I have your addresses so I can send your flies out this weekend.
just so yall know that toad i tied is readily taken by reds on the flats. Caught one that the fly was so deep i cut the line. If you want a step by step pictorial on how to tie it just ask. pics up later

I still haven’t recieved all the flies, so for those of you that did get them to me, I will be packaging and mailing them to you in the next day or two. I’m running out of time (I’m getting married in a week) and I want to get everyone their flies asap. If you haven’t already, please send me your addresses. Thanks.
