    it looks like 24 or 26 flies + fivedolla, no? there are 13 people and we are probably excluding ourselves right?

    I say we DO include ourselves in the count - that is less confusion for Yeti when putting the packs together.

    My apologies to all: mudshark is in. My bad, folks.

    So
    1. Schwerty
    2. 72twenty
    3. fez
    4. iskipowder21
    5. hartzejr
    6. G.Gordon Liddy
    7. Yeti
    8. Andy B
    9. L8APX
    10. Adipose
    11. Jimmy Page
    12. Lumpy
    13. Kokomas
    14. mudshark

    So that's 28 flies each. Our success is overwhelming, despite my (lack of) organization. Very cool.

    72 does have a good point: if you send me enough flies to include a pair for yourself, the upside for me is that all the outbound packages will be identical.

    Yeti, do you think its a good idea to put in your list the type of fly and size being tied to keep duplicates down to a dull roar and give each of us some feedback on what people want?

    If so, i'm planning on doing pt bh nymph size 14 with a brass bead. suggestion for what group prefers welcome.

    28 flies and $5 it is. Guess I have to stop fishing after work and tie some flies!

    I have no preference on fly types either. I'll fish 'em all (and eventually lose them too).

    List o' flies, keeping it streamer oriented.

    2- Black and Cerise Starlight Leeches- articulated. Catch anything from catfish to coho.

    10- Muddlers and Spuddlers sizes 6-10 some articulated. I put the articulated ones in, just in case someone will want to use them for a waker for summer runs. They still work great damp for browns in the fall.

    2-Purple maroubou Showgirls (for you Henrys Lake dredgers), barbel eye, articulated...also toss them for steelhead if you like.

    4-Conehead black/purple, black/cerise x-cut leech

    2- Conehead yellow, brown, black leech, x-cut and marabou, sculpin, general streamer looking thingies that browns seem to love. One with obnoxious rubber legs.

    2- Conehead burnt orange and brown x-cut rabbit/ marabou leeches that work good in the Green and other mid-sized western rivers.

    5-Night Leeches. Mainly black, 3 with large orange beads (basically a egg sucking bugger, pretty basic), one huDge articulated black/turquoise barbel eye pattern I use on everywhere from desert lakes to AK at dark, an finally my last zonker style, v-rib body, jiggly barbel eyed night dredger...in full disclosure I used this one two weeks ago...It has good karma attached although one jiggle eye is missing. Don't have anymore V-rib at this time, so this one goes with good clean fixfax history attached.

    1-brown/epoxy head slider, with white bucktail, white body, and orange throat...works killer for a little darter/sculpin pattern in rivers. I actually took this from a pattern I saw in West Virginia, morphed it into what I thought would work well in the west. This pattern has worked well, especially as a trailer, when you feel adventurous enough to sling two large streamers at once. Instructions for this method do mention "chinstrap required".

    I tried to put together a representation of the most productive patterns I tied last winter. Even though my Dad used to rag on me to tie at least a dozen of each pattern at once (and don't ever take the scissors out of hand)I don't have the patience to sit and tie a dozen at a time. Thus I get a hodge-podge of whatever I feel works best and I'm going to need in the next few months. This bunch represents just that.

    One thing I have learned is how good a fly looks to you and how good it looks to a fish can be two totally different perspectives. I'm probably not going to trim my tales and hackle to be exactly the same on each fly, etc.

    72Twenty, not so much for the swap, just a general trout fly tying rule, make sure you dont leave your tails too long.

    you;ll know if you do because you will feel lots of hits and miss the sets. that means the fish are coming away with a mouth full of marabou when they hit your fly and miss the hook.

    So, what's the deal Yeti?....are we each tying all of the same pattern or mixing it up? I'm in for whatever.

    Yeah, I was thinking about that. I just bought some longer hooks this evening (and a Dr. Slick whip finisher). I'll more or less follow the hook shank length rule.

    ^ just add a stinger hook to them...then you get all the small dumb fish as well.

    I got your pm Yeti and I have the first 14 done, which were the parachute BWOs. It's amazing how the small flies take so much more time than a big 'ol streamer. Just more inticate/delicate work.

    I mailed
    *7 - size 14, Black, bead head, gold ribbed hares ears.
    *7 - size 18, emergers.
    *7 - size 18, parachute, blue winged olives.
    *7 - pheasant tails of various sizes and styles.
    and a fiver today.

    Thanks to everyone for starting this, contributing and mostly to Yeti for handling the sorting and org, these things have a way of taking on a life of their own behind the scenes.
