Lets Right A Wrong

[bigbowtrout]

Hello all,

 

Please read this link http://blogs.dispatch.co.za/dispatchnow/20...fishing-horror/

 

Now after going through all of that I would think she would have a very soar taste for our fine Country so I was thinking maybe we could collect a few fly's and send them her way just to show that even though security treated her like crap us as fellow Fly Fishers will right a wrong.

 

Pacreseltoro has offered up the first dozen and I will match that with a dozen flys.

 

Thanks all.

Actually, I'll make it 2. Let's show her some Canadian hospitality.

[Swede]

Ya for sure all tie up 2 dozen for this great cause. Lets get a plan going so we can tie her up a nice box of flies.

[jordo]

I'm in for a dozen, just pm with where I need to send them. Any preference as to what we want to send?

[bigbowtrout]

Awesome guys!!!!!!!! Lets do up some good o'l Alberta flys but if anyone want's to do some sweet Salmon types then why not.

I will send an address to all those involved later on or maybe one of our sponcer shops could collect them. I will hammer out the details soon.

[jack]

Is it safe to assume that someone has her mailing address? If so, I would like it, please. I think Amundson can come up with something to throw those gifted flies with.

In for sure, great idea dude!

 

Please forward address or method of getting her the goods.

 

Lets show her how we really do in Canada!

I just read the story. I'm not sure why she wouldn't have included them in her luggage. But there are always 2 sides to every story. Yes she shouldn't have had the flies. Then why did they detain her? Maybe she was a wee bit pissed off and got a bit lippy with them? I don't know I wasn't there.

 

What I do know though is that I'm in for a dozen for sure. It doesn't say what kind of fishing she does. So not sure exactally what to tie up. If she was fishing here we all know what works in our river. Trout flies are always good all over the world.

 

I am gone to Fernie for the CFFC tomorrow until next Sunday. But I'll tie up the flies as soon as I get back home.

Fish Tales had Brenda as a customer and she used one of there guides so Fish Tales is offering to collect and ship what we gather up to her in SA as they have her address.

 

Fish Tales would be happy to collect and ship flies to her. We would make sure she knows the idea came from this forum. We'll donate the fly boxes and package things up nicely.

 

Kudos to everyone who is supporting this initiative.

[Tungsten]

Awesome,you guys rock.I don't have much time lately to tie but i will try.When should we have them finished by?

 

 

 

[bhurt]

Yeah I might be able to get a dozen or so done, just need to know when we need to have them done by so I can see if I can get it done in time or not.

[bigbowtrout]

How about the end of this Month?

[Teck71]

i could give a dozen, but end of month might be a bit close how about mid october

 

[bhurt]

I have no problem then ting up a dozen or so of my killer leech patterns.

[bigbowtrout]

I was at Fish Tales today and they are more then Happy to collect everything until Thanksgiving plus they have a card ready to go.

My dozen is in so lets keep this thing rolling.

[admin]

I sent off 2 dozen yesterday and a nice Carrie Stevens Streamer.

[bhurt]

I have a half dozen finished only another half dozen to go, might go for two dozen but don;t know if I have the time, plan on having mine done by friday, need to go into fish tales to get some material so I'll drop ito ff then.

 

Oh by the way anyone tieing any SJW's, it is after all a good fly to use on the bow.......

[maxwell]

dope! im will be in there in a ew days and drop of a bunch!

[jordo]

Due to some work issues I'll have to send my flies by courier. I have a nice collection of my favorite stones (nymphs and dries) to add to the the collection.

Guys,

Troutlover and reellife were mean to me on our fishing trip this week. They said mean things and laughed when I fell down, which was often. I wouldn't have fallen so much if I hadn't been so sad. I didn't think they were funny and now I hate Alberta. I'm pretty sure lots and lots of flies would make me feel better and I would love it here again. Maybe a new bauer reel would make me want to stay forever.

 

All kidding aside, you guys are awesome. First time I ever wished I tied flies, just so I could donate. Maybe I could buy her some?

[bigbowtrout]

I bought mine and I will donate the five of diamonds I found last week to your cause Rick.

[jack]

Rethought my previous idea and am sending 4 fly boxes. I bit more "theme friendly" it seems to me.

[bigbowtrout]

AWESOME!!!! Thanks Jack

 

So if she comes back to Canada we can have Jack pick her up at the Airport.

 

" HI JACK" then we can raise some bail money

[bhurt]

I will be doing something simliar to what Jack did, but my box will contain 6 clousers, 6 leeches, 6 chenillie worms (my special tie, and I haven't deceided what the last 6 will be (thinking of maybe doing some elk hair caddis) but I think I can get 2 dozen by the end of the week, anyready got the first dozen finished.

 

I am then going to look for a nice wood style box that I will purchase and put all the flies in them.
