If I didn't just buy the same stuff... id jump all over it. And I've only tied a dozen flies. Plus too many ah **** stuff popped up this month. Mower, heat pump and dryer.....

Did you at least try to tie a few Whalensdad? Seems like a shame.... I do see some jungle cock nails missing.... so I'm guessing yes.

I tied a handful a few years back but haven't tied anything in over a year. Too many other things I'd rather do. If I tie now it's just to replenish my fly boxes.

Nice gathering of materials.

Nice gathering of materials.

If only I had taken the opportunity to use them. Who knows, 5 or 10 years from now I may decide to go down this path again.

 

[flytie09]

Keep them then. I have way more than $200 of materials packed away for another time. It's taken me 30 years to collect these materials... and I will get back to them. If properly cared for.... they can last generations. I understand Salmon Fly Tying is a whole other level of fly tying to challenge one self.....

If you still decide to sell.... this is a good deal for one looking to get started tying the Classics.

Good luck.

I have to say that you have enough to get started for sure. These things will not go bad if properly stored. I probably have thousands of dollars worth in my materials supply, they don't go bad and some only see use every few years.

If you do sell it is a Great deal for the buyer.

 

[rockriver]

I'll take it. PM sent.

 

[whalensdad]

Thanks Rockriver - PM Sent.

It was more than a WOW Fred. I finally had some free time today to put everything into my inventory and it was not a fast operation. Extremely happy with this purchase. Thank you Lee.
