Brent : you might want to check on the legality of the grizzly..........might not be legal; something tells me it's not
hare's foot is good, llama has good properties, Icelandic sheep has been good on a lot of flies I have have done
I just want to ask if you think it's time for another swap or wait till after the new year? I have a good one in store for the next one .
A little sneak peak at it:
Limit of 12; each person picks a number between 1 and 12 and the rest you'll just have to wait for.
It seems like alot of material for size 14 and a middle wing to boot of deer hair......this fly should a playing offensive or defensive lineman in football

In order to clean up the mascot fly thread I'm starting it fresh here .
A few guidelines are going to be added here to improve the flow process of the thread:
When you are selected to add the next component you have approximately 12 hours to respond.
If above is not met I will designate the next contributor.
You don't have to be a tyer to participate......there were a couple that refused to add in because of this and other reasons which in my mind was lame.
Please participants only post here.
Thanks for your cooperation and lets make this a fun event.
My plans of doing something with this have been put on hold now. It all depends on you if this happens or not by participating with contributions to the list.
Please stick to the topic and go forward....it's going to be hard enough weeding through the mess as is without using the magic button. It's "DELETE" in case your wondering.
Perhaps a new thread with strict guidelines on posting for it are in order...if you agree then just send me a PM.
this post editted after Knots post read being they were posted at the same time
What kind of flies does he like? I'm sure that he'll like whatever you make up because you are putting a part oyf you into it which in my book is more meaningful than any store bought item.
Personally I can't see anything wrong as long as like you say no fly used but if someone sees you and reports it it would be a waste of the CO's time to investigate.......apossible solution is to practise in a grassy park area close by if there is one.
