Hi,
I'm definitely in!

 

[Pocono]

Soft hackles are one of my favorite flies; both to fish and to tie. I'd be happy to participate in this tie. Valentine's Day would be fine for me.

 

[jclampwork88]

Glad to have you two aboard

i will be tying a fly with hlographic tinsel and then wrap olive tubing over it. I am not really sure what it is called though. And it will be on a size 14 2x long hook

 

[arfishinbear]

I think I'll do some red asses if thats cool with every one

 

[Pocono]

I think I'm going to tie one of Stewarts original spider patterns. Probaby the one that's much-debated, due to the fact that there was never a mention of a body in his tying notes; only a hackle. I have some ideas as to how to go with this fly which will be interesting and which, I think, will catch fish!

Greenwood, I'll probaby be discussing this with you before I actually start tying these flies.

 

[dorian.ducker]

Yes please. Don't know what I'll tie yet, but I am in. Maybe a classic orange and partridge? I'll let you know.

 

[BigCliff]

I'm in. I'll be tying my notorious soft hackled diving caddis. (hereafter known as the SHDiC?)

Hmm, fuzzy tail or no?
