The Fly Collection - $100

Post by Ben Spinks »

Hi all
Well those who know me well will no doubt be astonished at this item, especially Paul who despite asking me to write the Sexyloops flytying section has never actually seen one of my flies in the flesh. I don't tie many flies any more, so this is quite possibly 90% of my total out put this year (at least).

I'm going to call it the Grayling collection. One fashionable wooden fly box, 32 flies and to top it all some of them actually work.

3 x Tungsten Czechs
3 x Gold Czechs
3 x Mottled double bead heads (yeah, WTF! but cool anyway)
3 x Green meanies
2 x Orange glister bugs
3 x Gold bead red tags (Hair hackle, Very Cool!)
3 x Gold bead flashback nymphs (Lars design, Secret, Shhhh!)
3 x V-Rib USD Hydros (Sex flysonified)
3 x Heptas (Lars design, super F**king secret!!)
3 x Stalcup Style dries, but better (Killers)
2 x Ephemerella Nymphs

There may be more, but that's up to you! The higher the bids, the more flies will be added. You may well end up with every fly I've ever tied.

Cheers
Ben :)

I have never seen a grayling let alone caught one so on the off chance I ever get the opportunity I will need some flies. $75 bid.
