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

IFFF? Whoever they are, they are damn lucky! :lol:
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.

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 ??? :?

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

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.
