Flytyer Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I'm looking for volenteers to contribute some flies to make up a display that will be displayed at the FlyFish Calgar/Flyanger CA booth. The flies to be tied are to come from the book by local author Neil Jennings Trout Flies of Alberta and Southeast British Columbia. It would be prefferable to chose flies that have their roots on the Bow or their creators are from the Calgary area. If you don't have the book and would like to participate you can PM me for a pattern; just indicate a general idea of what you would like to tie and I'll work with you to find a suitable pattern. It would be nice to get as many different patterns as possible for this project. I'll be doing a pdf of the photos of flies done that each participant will receive a copy of when completed. There will be a separate locked thread containing who is doing what fly to be used for a reference. Make your selection(s) early as I'm sure the good ones will go fast. Deadline will be the Friday prior to the show in order to prepare the display. Thanks and let's make this display one to be proud of.

Flytyer Posted November 15, 2007 Author Share Posted November 15, 2007 I don't have the book either, but send me a PM with a couple streamers and I will tie them up for the display. Great Idea Ron Thanks Darren I have already posted the drys and emerges from the book and either later today or tommorrow I'll get the nymphs and streamers posted that are in the book.

I got my copy when it first came out from Mike At CP. I've seen it at Russels and at I think Fish Tales as well. It would be nice to have these tied as they were originally.

There is a tentative plan for where the flies will go but details still need to be worked out. Once more details are worked there will be an announcement on this matter.

Harps Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 You can also give me the: Madam X Partridge and Pheasant BH Soft Hackle Pupa Crowsnest Stone I may need receipies from the book... I've been using the patterns from Vic and Tim's old Fly Fishing Alberta's Chinook Country site at: http://www.telusplanet.net/public/cnangler/html/flyfile.htm I'll look for the book, but I think I'm quite limited in Lethbridge. Cheers, (I'll still tie more if needed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albannachxcuileag Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I am putting myself out on a limb here but I will attempt the following for this Copper John Hare Sculpin Serendipity Caddis Nymph Marabou Dace When do you need these in for? I need to allow 10 days for postage from here to reach you and getting near Christmas might mean a delay so I will get them off as quickly as possible in the next week.
