Two early 2025 events to consider:

Just got all my stuff packed up for my morning session tomorrow. Dug up some older (but still productive flies, albeit looking a little disheveled) for freebies (left side) along with a few newer (also proven) to hand out (right side). The two in the foreground are also newer patterns loosely based on Matt Grajewski's (Adaptive Fly) Yardsale combined with Eli Berant's (Great Lakes Fly) Optimus Swine....kinda like if those two flies had a baby but there were some unidentified genes in there (the junk is under the trunk)....I may end up handing those out on day 2.

Anyway, I'll be there locked and loaded with fur, feathers and flash.

Good to see ya!!
Enjoy that fly and report back with success or failure.
That’s how I learn to improve.

Was nice to catch up with you guys and see the master's at work! Cheers!
 
Another good time at this event. It did seem smaller than years past but still learned new ideas . Got to meet Clarkman and DanM but missed Finluver. Maybe next year.
 
Tied both days at the show. Met Ron McNeal and bobduck. Always a good time. Got to watch clarkman for a few moments since we tied the same sessions each day.
