Rich, I had challeged myself to create 12 flies using the free samples of craft furs by Christmas.

[Guest rich mc]

thats a challenge that should produce a few new style flies for 2013. i have heard of more members that have ordered samples. i had a patch of feathered fur at the meeting today that turned some heads . rich
