Just remember - Tie a thon requires 100 copies of the same pattern. Kim

One other OBVIOUS site - Trout Unlimited! I have donated flies to their fund raisers. More than one chapter offers their chapter patch with flies attached and they usually offer them as a blind raffle item. Sometimes I think that the grey hair on my head is the grey matter from inside leaking...

I just knew that there was something about you I liked, Bill! 😊

Most actually will accept rod/reel donations. The only one NOT to contact would be the Tie a Thon group - they want flies only. Each group supports a different "specialty area" (active military, disabled vets, breast cancer sufferers/survivors, men with cancer, foster children, people with...

With the holiday season coming so comes the requests for giving. Here is a quick reminder about how we, as fly tyers, fishers and teachers can help out. There are many nonprofit/not for profit organizations that use fly fishing/fly tying/rod building as part of their recovery and support...

YES, you CAN say that the little extra goodies will appear each time! They won't be the same little goodies (what fun would THAT BE!) but goodies just the same! Kim There, right from the horse himself,,, er I mean horses mouth! (OH, and you are in my friend!).

I host swaps on this and other sites for the past 14 years but I am fairly new here. I'm retired and like to keep busy and swaps allow me that opportunity. My swaps are open to ALL level/experience tyers and I do encourage newer tyers in my swaps so that they may learn and hone their tying...

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There is LESS than 2 weeks left to register for this swap and there is only ONE person registered. There is a MINIMUM of 6 people needed to run this swap! Can we get at least 5 more people interested in this swap - the flies are not due in...

If you want the BEST, most UP TO DATE in for on any fishing waters in your area, where do you go? If your locally owned fly shop is NOT 2 out of you top 3 answers then you are slighting yourself. I live in central NY, born and bred there and will probably die here. I do a lot of tying for the...

No problem! There is time and simply let me know when you decide and I'll note it down for you on the site. Kim

OK and thanks to Flybill for breaking the ice on this winter swap :rolleyes: (Sorry about that!) Now lets get some more tyers to join in! Remember all you need to tie is a pattern that involves some turkey feathers/feather material - marabou, flats, tails, biots.... The world is your oyster...

Well the Thanksgiving story DID involve the native Americans! You are in and most welcome! Have you ever heard of the Indian Streamer? It's a must have fly in many boxes around the Great Lakes area. The pattern was based on a lure the Iroquois (and possibly the Algonquin) used in this area...

With the holidays, family getting together, shopping....OK I'll let you off this time! Kim You and yours have a great and memorable holiday season!

Feel free to join in and show your wares!

I hear you my friend! An oversight on my part and this swap is open for ANY turkey feathers in the pattern - no leftover dark meat please!:sick: Kim My limited imagination keeps me from thinking of anything but feathers/feather parts being used. If there are other turkey materials out there...

Anyone out there have some marabou?

Has anyone got their flies yet? Just wondering. Kim

"Thanksgiving is an emotional holiday. People travel thousands of miles to be with people they only see once a year - and then discover once a year is way too often!" - Johnny Carson This is an over the holiday, 1st of the new year swap. The flies will not be due until Wednesday, January...
