Annual Fly Swap Auction |
Lead | ||
|
I really apologize for not getting to this earlier. I am going to start the auction here w/out pictures, but rest assured you will be pleased. The 2 lots consist of 17 flies each. Lets start the bidding at 20 dollars. The high bidder will get one lot, next highest bidder will get the second lot. All monies go to the cost of the Bass Pond. Nobodies making dough here - the annual hosting cost is 180 dollars PLUS the ez board fees. So get out the checkbook and start bidding!! Thanks alot for your patience with me concerning this - I hope you're all having a great early season - tight lines to all! Alec

Alec,
Donation was made to the community chest. If it is alright with you I'll just pick up the flies when I get the new STS hat. Will I know who tied which fly? I'm really looking forward to flinging these babies. Thanks, Cap |

I didn't get home fast enough to make another bid on the flies, Dang! Bill and Cap I am sure you will enjoy those flies..great collection and well tied..
Now, I have a fundraising concept for the STS roundtable, I would like impose to raise more money for The Bass Pond website to reach the $180.00 level, we need. We are currently about eighty dollars shy. In the last 10 years or so, I have fished about every fly on the market and purchase flies from every fly fishing shop/tying show, but I have to say the most impressive fish catching fly to date that I have used is Dick Empie's Goldie, you probably have seen several fish on this website caught with the Goldie and it is an absolute killer for warm & cold water species. I have caught tons of Rainbow Trout, Large/Smallmouthn Bass, Perch, Yellow/White, Gills, Crappie, and Pickerel with this fly... I will donate 10 various Goldies for a $15.00 ($1.50 each, what a bargain!) in which will be donated directly to the website. When purchased and your contribution is directly posted on the Community Chest, please then P.M. me with your address and I will mail 10 Goldies to you, again the mailing costs are my contribution... These will add a variety to your fly box, I don't think you will not be disappointed with these flies, I know Bulletnose, Jeffsod & Montanakid have experienced their tremendous success... Here is what you will receive... ![]() ![]() ![]() The 10 Goldie colors are: 4 Gold, 1 Black, 1 Bronze, 1 Blue, 1 Silver, 1 Pearl, 1 Green. I have had good success with all these various colors, the action that these flies display in the water is remarkable. They are tied with a #6-8 hook, tied with Bill's Bodie Braid Material which is virtually indestructable. The fly display case in the picture is not included, just for show. I will make as many sets of 10 flies as needed for folks requesting them, remember all donating $$ are directly adminstered to the Community Chest from the purchaser, not from me... I do not want any money, just do my part and keep the website banner free...Hope some of you are interested in this fundraiser and have a chance to try these simple , but great flies...THEY CATCH FISH! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tight lines Gillbuster |
