This is a great cause and I was honored to sit down and tie some flies for these heroic individuals. I will be mailing to you about 60 flies tomorrow (red zebra midges, black zebra midges, jujubees and mercury midges in amber, blue and olive). While I was tying flies my 12 year old (new to fly tying) asked what I was tying flies for when. When I told him he tied up about 15 san juans and asked me to send them along with the other flies. Tell the soldiers my family and I are grateful for their service. Sorry, I didn't have a good way to send them without them getting mixed up. So, you may have to sort them out when they arrive.

Thanks Mark. By the way, the fish were caught on RDP Flyrods. Your rods are great, the boys love them and so do I. As we discussed, we just got back from 8 days fishing in Colorado (dream stream, elevenmile canyon and fryingpan river) were we used your rods and they did a great job against those big wild trout. You and your kids need to join Hunter, Austin and me on the Dry Run Creek the next time we go down there.

Took my boys to Dry Run Creek last weekend. The Creek was fishing great as always and seemed to have more big fish than normal. There are several in there over 10 pounds. My 15 year old caught a 5 1/2 pounder (weighed on my boga grip) and the 11 year old caught one that weighed in at 10 1/2 pounds. Overall they caught about 80 fish in about 6 hours. The fish seemed to be hitting best on size 22 red and black zebra midges. It was an incredible day that they will not forget.
