Just wanted to say thanks to Ben for the shot of the Helios and selling me yet another reel...but at a fantastic discount :)...and to Hamish, Magnus and Iain for the blether and threats about the Outcast day ;) and to Davy for the Balvenie!!

Unfortuantly I may have spent £80.,..but Cass spent well over £200!!! An expensive few hours!!!

but thanks again for everyones time!

Thanks to all who came yesterday and supported the store event, I think a good day was had by all and that was down to those who attended.  I will be running flytying classes at the store during November, probably on a Wednesday evening and all will be welcome (even Magnus) I will get some details out closer to the time.


Cheers

Ben

Rob,

Ben

Not sure if that means you want me to tie some flies or I am going to be treated like a Pike caught on the Dee and get dragged up the banks, stabbed through the back of the head and thrown in the bushes!... :z4

I suspect the former rather than the latter Rob  :z4

Moving away from all things devil fish -

What would be useful is a picture post from Kevin (what is your handle on here Kevin :?) in the fly tying section, a step by step guide to his approach to tying in/using deer hair as you demonstrated on Saturday would be most useful for us all I think :z17 :z16

I'm sure I wasn't the only one who saw the advantages of this method  :cool:

Give him a kick Peter :z17

He's a watcher rather than poster Hamish, I've been trying to get him to post stuff for ages but the term procrastination just doesn't have enough time wasting to describe the bugger!!! :z4 :z4


Peter

I'll give it another go though.

Maybe I can persuade him to come along to the wednesday nights Bens hoping to have - they look interesting.
