Fly Auction For Good Cause?

It's a while since we have done one for a good cause and it's not a bad way to while away a few hours on  winter's evening tying a few flies.

It's also a good way for we, as a well respected online wild fishing community, without doubt Scotland's absolute finest ned-free site,  :8)  to give a little back by supporting a worthy fishing related cause.

So I would suggest this:

I will donate a brand new, Caimore waterproof viewable, double sided  slit-foam box that holds 170 flies (10 rows of 17).

170 flies is far too much for such a small box, so I would suggest 8 flies  / row, making a grand total of 80 flies.

The box  is neat  4 ¼" x 3" x 1 ½ "  and fits into a shirt pocket

If we can get 16 members  to tie 5 flies each, their choice, that would do it.

So, who's up for it?  5 flies – all the same, all different - your choice!

I'll start with 5 Naomi variations must-have killers  for burn, river and loch.

And the good cause? Well, I'm open to suggestions, but I'd suggest The Esk Rivers Trust – not for their work on posh salmon rivers, more for  their action and great effort on   the waters the ordinary working man fishes. The Wee Bervie and The Little Lunan. Both 5 quid a day venues, run by local clubs.

What do you reckon?  Just 5 Flies each!  :8)
