Display Flies For 2008 Flyfishing Expo

[Flytyer]

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.

[Guest bigbadbrent]

I'd love to get in on that, just don't have the book

I'll attempt a turks tarantula, i'll let you know how i make out with it

[Flytyer]

I'll leave the Turck's Turantula open till I hear otherwise Brent.

Just one of each and any size designated for that pattern in the book.

[Guest bigbadbrent]

I'll do the EHC as well

[admin]

I'm wishin I had the book now. There are a lot of patterns on there I have no clue what they look like.

 

I'l take the X-Caddis, Clouser Minnow, LVP Midge, Bead Head Pheasant Tail Nymph, Adams Parachute and the BH Euro Caddis Pupa

[Guest bigbadbrent]

way to step it up a notch..

 

i'll do the rest..all of em

 

 

(kidding...plz do not sign me up for the rest haha)

 

Do you want these mailed or what, Ron?

 

 

Is there any way we can donate this collection to Casting For Life or something after, or are there plans for them?

 

edit : DONE

 

[murray]

I dont tie real complicated ones nor do they look real pretty, but I've got the book that I could lend out if there was a promise to get it back to me.

 

Murray

[ladystrange]

i would like to join up as well. dont have the book. since i would like to make these look pretty good, would you mind sitting down with me one night, next week - other than thursday and give me a hand???

 

 

i'm kind of partial to streamers

[Lawrence]

I would like to get in on this as well, is there anywhere I can find this book??

and are we doing the same exact copies and materials?

[Guest bigbadbrent]

That'd be good to know as well..

 

cause all of my ties incorporate ice dub..lol

[Flytyer]

I would like to get in on this as well, is there anywhere I can find this 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.

You can mail them to me or drop off your choice. 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.

[Flytyer]

For anyone that can't find or can't warrent buying the book ,I'll be happy to PM the recipe(s) to you if you would like to participate in this project.

[Flytyer]

Almost forgot : could everyone please wire a tag with you forum handle and pattern name to the eye of each fly to help in organizing the display. Your cooperation greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

[Harps]

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)

[albannachxcuileag]

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.
