Daryk Campbell Sr Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 I came home this evening to my box. Mic, I know it's been said, many times. But I want to express my thanks. Thank you. And to all who participated. Thank you. I will get a taste of non commercial flies, and I've already learned alot. Got a full weekend with my daughters 13th birthday this weekend, so maybe I will try next weekend to get to some decent water.

Ham Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 I got my box too. I thought I was chipping in a little extra, but was actually 2 Pennie’s short. FWIW : you could have sent mine the cheapest route possible BilletHead and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
Flysmallie Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 Mine is here too. I haven’t even had a chance to open the box but I will soon. Thanks for hosting Mic!
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted February 25, 2023 Posted February 25, 2023 I have some pics, but really wanted someone better qualified to do them justice.

FWIW : you could have sent mine the cheapest route possible Yea... it is just easier sometimes to get the same for everyone. I think I was short like seven dollars. There were like $25 worth of flies if I bought those separately. It was worth it to me. Streamer swaps the boxes work well. Thanks though. BilletHead 1
ColdWaterFshr Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 Mic, your fly worked well. Good action to it and perfect weight. Though I didn't get to put it to the test on the North Fork, it worked extremely well at Rockbridge. I think we had a 19 lb stringer of 5 fish. The first 3 of which were caught on your fly. I should've re-tied my knot after the 3rd one because I broke off and lost an easy 7 lb'er. Lot of fun watching multiple large fish chase it down at the same time, even if they were prosti-trouts. My younger brother Frank was thrilled. Daryk's Black Ghost brought in a fat brown over on the North Fork. I wasn't even wader-ed up, just putzing around from the bank. Totally shocked that it came out of some fast water. I think the fishery at the North Fork is back! Wish I had spent more time fishing it, but we were in a hurry to get over to the Bryant and do a short float. Flysmallie, nomolites, Nick Adams and 5 others 8

That is a nice set of fish. ColdWaterFshr 1
