 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I just got back from the post office.  Hopefully the flies will be delivered in the next few days.

 I just received mine from jayman448 today and they look great!  This week has been really hectic for me, but I'm hoping to get some photos of them posted in the next couple days.

     Wow, just look at those flys!  8) Boy those are really nice.  8) Kinda of hard to pick which of them is the nicest. ???  But just looking a the pictures, must be kinda of like looking at pictures of mountains, and then actually being there.  8) Oh yeah, great job guys, keep them coming, and keep sending all these great pictures.  ::) Uh, so did you guys, kinda forget to send the pictures, that were forthcoming? ???  Don't have any way to take pictures, and then post them?  ask the neighbors, 10 yr. old kid, he can help you. ;)  Come on lets see some pictures of these flies.  They are like Sasquatch, they don't exist, unless you have photographic proof. ;)  Hmmm, a fly tied with the hair from a Sasquatch, bet that you could use that to catch catfish! :o  Be like pre stink bait, lures.  :P

Here are the flies I received from jayman448.  I'm sorry that my photography won't do them justice.  They are very well tied and look like very versatile patterns.  I'm really looking forward to getting them wet!  Thanks jayman!

that red doc spratley i tend to do well on. same with chironamids too if you have the patience. my best fish was on that green bellied tom thumb tho. only about a four pound rainbow but took me to my backing three times. i had a hard time knowing what to tie for ya, not knowing bass patterns (or if you even fish bass). anyways hope they do ya well bud

Thanks jayman! I like fishing for bass, panfish, trout, really anything that will bite.  I'm sure all those flies will be very useful.  It's fun seeing patterns that work well in areas other than my home waters too.
