I know how to tie like 3 flies but I am looking forward to trying more now that I've inherited an actual bench!

Caught some trout on some ugly flies this last weekend, just proof they don't have to be pretty or perfect to work! I'd be more than happy to participate in a traveling box. I don't know many patterns yet but I can tie plenty of them so everyone can get a few of each.

Elmnt80 posted:Also, those of you looking for interesting/unique feathers may want to talk to the folks in the birb thread in PI. They might be willing to send out some feathers when their birbs molt if you paid for the shipping. Parrot feathers would mean some very interesting colors that you normally wouldn't have access to! Previous bird owner: Can confirm this is not a problem at all and many bird owners are happy to share the many, many colorful feathers that happen to be lying around the house. Generally they'll end up in the trash or a craft anyway.

Harry Potter on Ice posted:I had a dream I found a 2 foot long feather that was a beautiful color I'd never seen before and I was excited to tie the perfect fly with it Sounds like you need to find someone who has a macaw! They come in all sorts of colors and their tail feathers are easily over a foot long, sometimes two.

I'd say maybe just after the season? Sales are going on right now but with all the boxes on doorsteps it's the best time of year for porch pirates. I'd hate for the thread contributions to suddenly stop because it was my turn and whoever likes stealing boxes in my apartment complex happened to take the traveling flybox. It mostly seems to happen over the holiday shopping times. If nothing else I could just wait for the New Year for it to be my turn.

Not yet, but I have some books and supplies and am planning on a duck hunt/pheasant hunt weekend coming up. Hoping to get some extra feathers for tying to bring back!
