You're on a binge Mike, I'm just guessing but do you have a 40 clip Wheatley you are working to fill? If so I know where you are at

It's actually a P D Malloch swing leaf fly box w/ clips that I'm currently working to fill....

I've got until April....maybe a few more boxes too.. :wacko:

It's almost like I'm psychic huh

I won’t show you the other 12 boxes...... to say I’m filling a fly box is a given. Aren’t we all.

The good news is that if you don't lose many flies you end up like me, the boxes are full and you only need to tie a couple each year. I had some catching up to do as I made the transition to tubes but now I'm in that good place again. Good meaning I only tie if I lose something
