We are hoping to put together a couple of display boxes of steelhead flies to raffle off at the Seattle Show. If we can get enough quality offerings, I would like to possibly have a winter-run dozen and a summer-run dozen. The flies would be nicely displayed along with the pattern name and the name of the tyer. One member has also graciously offered to prepare a 5 fly collection of Glasso styled spey flies. The proceeds from these raffles will go towards a dedicated server to support the site.

So far, I have commitments from around a half dozen artisans of hook and feather. I am posting here a request for further submissions to the cause. If you would like to donate a fly or possibly two, let me know via pm or e-mail and I will get you on the list.

I anticipate that there will be more flies donated than can be displayed in two boxes. Should this happen, some will be displayed in a grand prize display case, and all of the others we receive in additional fly boxes.

In any case, any and all contributions will be appreciated and put to good use.

Thanks in advance!
Duggan

Bringing this back to the top. So far we have some great flies coming but are short of the amount to have 2 display boxes. Let me know if you are interested.

[Dana]

you can count on contributions from me, and I'll bet Tyler will contribute as well.

 

[pmflyfisher]

Mine will be coming, when is the due date.

I thought this show was in February.

PM Out

 

[sinktip]

Dana and Kush, You saved me a call to beg

The date for the show is February 22-23 but will need flies at least a week before hand to get the display work done.

 

[Dana]

I "stuck" this for you so you don't have to keep bringing it back to the top again.

I'll tie a fly that's been one of my most productive Gaspé flies and also caught the first Oregon steelhead it was shown to.

New Member - Count me in.

Sinktip,

I've got 3 flies that I could donate; two winters and one summer fly.

The two winters are the same tie in two different colors. The other is a summer run fly that I concocted this October for the Grand Ronde.

I'll box them up and send them on their way.

Thanks,

Flies are in the mail

Pattern:

Rear half of body- furled or twisted silver wire and silk
Frt half of body- Seals fur in a copper wire dubbing brush
Hackle- Folded wet fly hackle, of either dyed pheasant rump, Guinea hen or long saddle hackle.

Enjoy
