Outstanding! I envy your talents. Your flies are like peas in a pod.

IFFF? Whoever they are, they are damn lucky!
So this is donated for auction as a fund raiser?
A very spectacular box, exceptional craftsmanship Carl. The new owner is going to be very pleased to own such treasures.

Outstanding work, Carl. Whoever ends up with this will have a treasure.

Old/New Hat, Howdy;

Museum quality specimens each and every one of them...
Beauty of a conundrum you've created. Whoever ends up with them will want t fish at least 1 of each
but breaking the set would mean the possibility of damage or loss ... what to do, what to do ???

Nice work Carl, see you at the Fair! I am going to spend most of the time fishing but have one morning at the bench.

Masterful set of flies Carl. What a collectors set, yet irresistibly fishable. One dozen to frame, and two dozen to fish. Perfect!

Carl, this entire set is such an important reference for this forum. Beautifully tied and very inspiring. Such a nice collection. I started something like this and got sidetracked but you've really nailed it. I looked this up just to bump it for revisiting and noticed my response was missing. Love this set. Thanks for putting this together.
