I went today not remembering that tax day thing and it was regular mad house ie same as usual. God I loath my local PO.

I did the same and the line was out the door at the post office. I never understood why people stand in line like that when all they need is the postmark. I'll get them in the mail tomorrow.
 
Tied all of mine a few weeks ago then proceeded to lose them. I have absolutely no idea where they ended up.

I'll get back on the vise tonight and hopefully have them finished and sent in a day or two.
 
I will finish mine up tonight and mail them out tomorrow.
 
My flies are in the mail. The pattern is a sulphur modification of my favorite BWO pattern:

Hook: Dai Riki 300 #16
Thread: Uni light cahill 8/0
Tail: Claro coq de leon
Post: White turkey flat
Abdomen: Sulphur orange turkey biot
Thorax: Sulphur orange superfine dubbing
Hackle: Light dun tied parachute style
 
Flies are in the mail today.

I tied a very basic sulphur dry that works well for me when the sulphurs have emerged and fish are taking dries off the surface.

Hook: size 14 dry fly hook
Tail: Barred ginger hackle
Body: dubbed sulphur yellow
Hackle: Barred ginger hackle
Thread: Yellow

Hope it catches some fish for you guys.
 
My flies went in the mail on Monday. I'm excited to see all these flies!!
 
In the mail! I'll post a a recipe tonight.

flyfishermanj,
good to hear! do they look ok? i usually just tie for myself. havent tied for other people much yet, hope they work for everyone!
 
Will be mailing mine in the morning. 3 more left to tie. I literally dozed off at the vise last night... Sorry for the delay if I am the last one to get them in.

I had to simplify the pattern this time, since I lost all of the flies I had originally tied, but I think this one looks more like the natural after studying troutnut for a bit.
 
Will send mine in the morning as well.
 
I apologize guys, Im running a little late. Ill send em tomorrow. Iv been out of town for the past week and a half.
 
Got several packages yesterday and today, been busy with Easter Bunny stuff so I will post which ones are here tomorrow or Monday at the latest. Happy Easter!

JH
 
Forgot to send mine yesterday, will be in the mail Monday!
 
I think the post office was getting ready to close by the time I woke up saturday. Dropped them in the mail about 50 minutes ago.
