Do you love big bluegill?
A Big Thank You!
I just received mt parcel and I was blown away by what was in it! I really don't know what to say, there is so many awesome things in it, I have never seen so many flies before. I just want to say that I am really grateful to all you awesome people who took the time to make and send me something. The flies are beautiful, some of them are too amazing that I don't think they deserve to get hung in a tree by me!
For the first time I have a problem! Which fly am I going to use? Looks like I am going to be doing a lot of fishing for a long time to give each fly a try!
Just want to say thank you to every one that contributed to my parcel!

Yeeeehaw!! Very happy it got there without an international incident occurring.
As for which flies to use, that's easy - use mine. They're guaranteed "killers!"
I actually had them tied and ready to mail to you, way back when you and I FIRST talked about it. That's when I mentioned them to Carl and we cooked up the idea of a donation drive. Once I'd written the original post for it, and it got rolling..., the flies ended up sitting at my house right up til the deadline because I forgot about them!
Again, so glad you got everything.

Mathew, you're welcome! It was a pleasure doing this for you.
As for which ones to start with, well, just pick one, and fish a different fly each time, or a couple flies each day.

The joy is in the giving. Having someone genuinely appreciate the gift is big plus. Enjoy it all and take lots of photos.

We have had a drought here and the day I want to go fishing with my new flies it rains!

Don't feel alone this was the nicest day in weeks and because of the snow I had to work all day. Even worse I had to the Kentucky Lake area. So I could see other people fishing while I worked. Torture!!!

I don't think I will run out of flies soon! I have 363 flies! Thanks again! Each one is special!
