  1. Michael:

     

    When I finish the box, I will bring it to the following meeting, and you guys can decide where it would be best suited. I am also the swapmaster in a fly swap on Flytyingworld web site. http://flytyingworld.proboards62.com/index.cgi

     

    I will soon have a set of flies from that to donate to the club for the fund raiser as well. Included in this assortment are flies tied from as far away as United States, England and Australia. Again, I will bring these in and there destination can be chosen by higher powers.

     

    Hope that helps. I'm just helping out, the items I get may go where they will be best suited. I just wish to help out when I can.

     

    later

  2. Well, update, I just got a call back from Lubex, they are donating a oilchange. I am still waiting to here back from Raven Crest Golf Course. they wont be in until Monday. Seeing I work there part time in the Summer, I'm pretty sure we will get a couple of rounds donated.... but no guarantees.

    Plus I still have to talk to my father. He's a dealer for Snap on tools. Maybe he can get some thing real cool from them... but again no guarantees.

     

     

    but I'll keep trying. I will try to get 5 items. Hopefully that will be sufficient.

     

    later,

  3. Well. I went to 5 different places this morning. Everyone except one said, "sorry, cant do it". One place wants to know how many people will be in attendance. I said "possibly 100-200". Is that about right?

     

    The last time I did this for a silent auction, I got over 30 different items my self. Now it's like pulling teeth. A well, maybe its just a bad day. I'll ty somemore tomorrow...

     

    Please let me know what the predicted attendance will be, just in case I'm asked again. Thank you

  4. Well, then I'll get started on it tomorrow or Friday... I'm not promising a master piece, but I'll do my best. I fairly new at this woodworking thing... so please dont expect perfection :unsure:

    P.S. I'm going to head out to a few places to try to pick up a few donations this afternoon for the Auction.... Hmmm... theres a Crazy Horse not to far from the Fishing hole.... I wonder what they could through in? :D

  5. yeah, I have to agree... not very hard to figure a way to use Feathers to to tie a fly.... ;) How about 1/2 steel plate.... that would take a bit of figuring out to make that float.... Or a cannon ball... or how about one of RB's cameras...we could dismantle it and use the parts for tying? Lance, whatta ya figure? ;)

  6. Be interesting to see what happens when that electronic casting machine says when it makes an appearance up here next month.

     

    Will that be at the sportsman show? of the fishing hole show? Maybe thats what would help.... THough, it may just tell me to go back to spin casting or playing slo-pitch.... :unsure:

    Tell your wife welcome to the life. I guess what one would need to know is do want instruction in fly tying or fly fishing. Either way the club is a great place to get information. There is a heck of a lot of information passed around at meetings for those who ask or are willing to listen. The club has beginner and intermediate casting and tying courses. I'm not sure what the dates are, but I'm sure someone with more info on the subject will fill you in soon. Best is to bring her to a meeting or two and ask around. Also, check out the section with the newsletters. That may give you some of the information you are looking for...

     

    Best of luck.
