We have an activity period at the high school where I teach and once a week in my classroom we tie flies. We have about a dozen boys and girls who are regular club members and are pretty enthusiastic about learning to tie. It is fun to take a break from academic subjects and tie for a while. Most weeks we have a pattern that we choose for the week, and sometimes, as they call it, we just "freetie"!
Greyreefer5 sent us a box of materials as a donation and it came today, full of nice, high quality materials that will be awesome for our club, and I just wanted to give a shoutout to him for his generosity and kindness, my students are thrilled to have new materials to tie with!
Great people in this forum!
Thanks to greyreefer5!

#2Great stuff - if you get any pics of the kids tying up the flies... post them.
The smile will be on all our faces too!
