A fantastic tied Fly shrimp:
A friend sent me this picture today (in the mail) and was truly impressed with his Fly tying talent. Sadly, he refuses to go online and post pictures of his flies.
And a man I met at a craft show this past fall and I got to talking and I found out that he was a duck hunter and an occasional fly fisherman. We traded addresses and I sent him some flies. Last week a box came in the mail from him containing two gallon sized bags, one full of woodduck feathers, another containing mallard.
Many of you know that I make and sell glass sculptures for my living. That type of business takes me to fairs and marketplaces all over our area.
Just last last month I was working the Pima County Fair just outside of Tucson. They had a booth there that sold pictures of folks taken with large snakes and exotic parrots. I became friends with a lady that worked there, and she gifted me a few hundred feathers that she swept up every day…no clue what bird(s) they are from, but they would have went in the trash and now will become parts of some nice flies.
Sometimes I’m a really lucky fellow.
Hello Everyone,
First off, I am very impressed with this site and the information it holds. The pattern database is my favorite and you will start seeing my patterns pop up. I live in Alberta and have flyfished and fly tied for 15 years now. I have taught beginner and advanced flytying and rod building classes. I mainly fish for trout but since the move to Alberta I have started fishing for the other species this province holds. Alberta has quite the variety of fish. I have started a program, all on my own, for new/newer flyfishers, tiers and rod builders. Most people in the club cannot afford the vast majority of equipment needed to take part in all these activities. I have vets, divorcees, couples, kids, women, men all interested and taking part in what I offer. I do not charge anything but do take donations as most take up my offer because it is free. I have made many great tiers, rod builders and flyfishers out of the people that join and there all addicted like us. I have limited out my resources for donations so I am reaching further out for them. The rod building is the toughest one, I always look for the cheapest/discontinued blanks I can find. Same with materials etc. So I look for materials, hooks, tools, rods, and gear that one may not use like old vests, reels, anything to do with flyfishing, tieing and rod building. If you have a club that you donate to then please keep on donating. But if you have anything at all that one could use then please pm me. I grew up not having anyone to teach me untill 3 years after I started, never had a club, and if I did find one we could not afford lessons. I want to get as many people as possible to join the sport and support it. I always promote catch and release, no littering, safely handling fish etc. Thank you for your time and I am glad to be a new member of this site, looks like there are some great people and allot of information one could learn from. We can never stop learning thats for sure.
Thanks,
James 
I am willing to trade black Labrador Retriever dubbing (it is very soft and easy to work with) for some of your cat or dogs underfur. I also will consider horse mane for this swap
I am also looking for some hair from dogs that get haircuts to help them deal with the summer heat.
