We are about a week out
how is everyones ties going ?
I am bring some food and hope others will too
Please come prepared to demo you ties or share anything else you want to.

I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and many tight lines and bent rods to come
from monsteriously large fish
that take epic runs
and hope you have enough backing when they happen.

I just found out that I will have other obligations on that day. I am really bummed as I would have loved to meet you all and see all of the flies that were tied up. I already have my set of flies tied so I will drop them off at the Avid Angler this week. They will all be toe tagged so I hope that they get swapped and someone enjoys them.

Sounds like a good time! I was planning to swing by AA anyway, and just saw this thread. I'll definitely join in for socializing. Would love to meet some new folks.

If we get a #13 and need a #14, or if someone drops out, I can try to fill in, though I haven't really had a chance to prove my patterns in the salt and on the swing and all I really have are some trout patterns.

Ira, I work in Everett, so I can try to get your flies and swap them for you. Let me know...

Anybody up for a bit of fishing beforehand? Maybe a few quick hours?

I'm still alive here! I have a set of PMD size 20 emergers tied up so far. Not sure just yet about the rest. Either some size 24 Blue Wing Olives, or some simple Popsicle Sticks or a version thereof...hmmmmm. See you all Saturday.

I'm still not 100% sure I will be there as I have a new ACR1327 and the river is calling...

However, my flies will be there for sure. I tied my variation of the McMillan Winter's Hope and another pattern of my own design that I like for low, clear winter days and call simply "Green & Copper".
