I noticed you said the retreat was in Sept. 2013. Is that correct? Or did you mean Sept. 2012? Either way, I have got one set of my flies ready and hope to start working on another soon if my back cooperates.

Just open the mail and as promised Ruard's flies have arrived. Since they are already posted I won't repeat the process. What a grand collection I'll have to auction off with dedicated boxes of wet flies specifically from this forum. With Ruard's flies I can now say the boxes represent an international display of flies. Ruard Thank you for the donation they are well appreciated.

Mr. Redietz flies arrived!!!!! I am really loving this. Everyday I rush to the mailbox and with great anticipation hope for a new set of flies to be there. Today it came true. Lovely size 18's, just lovely! I'm hoping I'll have enough flmphforum flies to make two boxes for the auction. $$$$ ka-ching! I keep hearing this little voice in my head saying, put them in your fly box, but I know there are no trout in hell, so they have their own. Thank you so very much.

Ariel - I have a set of flies ready for your Casting for Recovery effort. I tyed a set of twenty-eight wingless wets (an assortment of soft hackles/flymphs/caddis patterns). Shoot me a PM with your mailing address and I will get them in the mail to you ASAP.

Here is a photo of the flies I am sending.

Ruard - If these flies bring comfort to one of the participants in the CfR program, I value these as "priceless". It makes me happy to think these will be fished by someone learning the joy & peace of fly fishing. May the peace offer healing & comfort...

You are right!! I also hope that many women that survived cancer could experience the joy of flyfishing. Hope that many of us spend a little bit of their time for this very good project.

All the flies are such a beautiful expression of wet/wingless/flymphs. At the moment I'm planning on placing the sets of flies in boxes and auctioning them off as 'specialty' items. I'm even tempted to bid! This website has really stepped up with fly donations and I thank you from my heart.
