Is he really a friend? Or just a way to double your Trick-or-Treat boodle?

I'm in. I'll start looking through my Fly Patterns of Alaska book and see what jumps out at me.

Is he really a friend? Or just a way to double your Trick-or-Treat boodle? He's real. He made the Adams thorax fly last year and prompted my search for the rusty "coachman" saddle so I could tie it too. He is also the guy who gave me the Sage rod that had been to the Miramichi River steelhead fishing. You remember reading the posts now don't you?

Last I checked, it was an Atlantic Salmon River, one of the best in the world.

Whoops. I remember one of you all told me about the river, and the rod having some serious Karma. I forgot the rest of the story. I know he said the rain changes the river's temper and could make or brake a trip. I thought it was steelhead.

Oh yeah, the Mirimachi imparts serious Karma into any fly rod or fly which is cast on it. WW Doak is THE flyshop on the river, I still order much of my tying supplies from them, much as I did when I first learned to tie flies and cast for salmon when I was living in Newfoundland in the mid 70's. Once a year we would travel to New Brunswick and stock up. Fished the River a time or two as well.

This is pretty cool. I buy all my flies though. Maybe next year.

How do you manage? Are there fish out there who'll take a fly that doesn't possess a smidgen of the fisherman/tier's soul?

You can add myself and the merry band of fly tiers, so I guess that'll add 4 too the list. I can't seem to keep my oldest boy from tying flies.

What does everyone think would be a good cut-off date? When should all the flies be in to me?
Also, pick what fly you want to do.

For the trout theme, are you thinking stillwater and/or stream patterns?

Yes but only 6 and I have already caught them. The fact is hat I just started fly fishing last year and I have not ventured into the fly tying arena. I just have not had time. However, it is something I would like to try after getting my "man room" done in our new house. Hopefully I can participate next year.

Welcome. Keep it up. You'll enjoy tying when you get into it.

I was hoping you'd say that, really. Time to go to school!
