David.... those good words have been spoken by up stairs.... I can only say:
You are Handsome and your Flies are Awesome...!!!

Many Thanks Roger, you have truly been a good friend to me. It has been a joy moderating the FlyTyer Forum with you. Without your Techie help, this Old Tyer would have been blind online. I think that you will be pleasantly surprised at the beautiful streamers that will be introduced on January 1, 2012. We shall make every attempt to get you hooked on streamers in the near future.

Gaeron my friend, it has been a pleasure watching you progress as a fly tyer. Your techniques and tying skills are impressive. I have no doubt that we will see your name in print soon. I also enjoy your blog at My Life On The Fly

Dear Tom,

My name is Jan Jankovic and I'm a professional fly fishing guide in Zepterpassport in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I am really interested in this reel you made. Can you tell me how much does it cost? If the price is accessible I would be happy to buy it.

Kind regards.

I once found a fly box while fishing on the Ausable River (NY). The box contained an assortment of small custom tied flies sizes 16-22 or so. The above pattern happend to be in that box....dressed a tad more sparse than mine.

Adirondackflytyer,

Peacock AND elk hair!
What's not to love?

That has to be a killer fly - and yes, some one must have tied it before, but I have not seen it anywhere.

Jim, so nice of you to say my friend. It has been a pleasure reading and responding to your wonderful forum posts. Please keep them coming!

David,

You have been a great mentor to me, and you are certainly someone I look up to. I enjoyed listening to all the stories you told me in any of the various chat sessions. You have been a major inspiration to me, and you helped me push myself to become better and better. Although I'm no expert, I certainly wouldn't be at the level I am without out you. I truly appreciate you, and ll you have done for me, forum, and the fly fishing community,

Gaeron

Dave,

I'm looking forward to seeing the flies you've submitted for this project. Between you and Kelly, you two have really opened my eyes to a facet of fly tying I barely knew existed.

Roger

Darren, Thank you for the opportunity to share my streamers for such a worthy project. It has been fun. I look forward to my daily emails after the New Year.

Good to see you here Jim. As one of the men that inspired me to tie streamers at a very young age, I am forever grateful for our friendship.

Look forward to the unveiling of the streamers, David. I've really enjoyed our chats and getting to know you this past year. You are a superb tier and a gentleman. Hopefully we can sit down and tie together one of these days.

Randy,

The feeling is mutual my friend. Your humor, your attention to detail when tying and your enthusiasm...it is what this is all about

Yes you do Mike, and a few special ones too!!! You are a good friend and it has amazing journey watching your tying.

Kelly, you are a very talented streamer tyer. It has been my pleasure to watch your journey. The years to come will be very special ones for you. I look forward to every new fly that you tie.

David,
It is always good to see the face behind the avatar! I see that you bring years of experience and talent and share it so generously. I often save flies on Facebook that I like and publish some (with tyer permission!) on my website. I few month ago I saved one that is simply titled streamers365. It is quite beautiful. Have you posted on Facebook? Can't wait to see your offerings. Thanks for all that you offer to the fly tying community.

Thank you for your kind words Avril, the tying that you bring to the FlyTyer Forum is always welcomed by Beginners and Advanced tyers alike. You truly are a wonderful person and I am so glad to know you.

David, it's been great getting to know you and I too can't wait to see these flys. You are one of the best moderators ever and make us all welcome on the fly tyers forum.
Thank you so much.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
