    Default Buying Flies For Yellows

    Good afternoon gentlemen....

    I Am attending the the douglas trip in april and am looking for someone to tie a selecton of flies for me,i know i could buy them in a shop but you guys who tie seem to put more character into them than the shop ones,i think we are fishing for SM and LM so i was thinking 5 different patterns for each and 5 of each type.........now i am guessing at numbers and patterns so please guide me on how many i would need for 4 days fishing........will pay what ever the shop rates are plus any additiinal cost like p&p,if there is anyone interested in doing this please PM me.

    cheers

    Nick

    While we are on the subject of Douglas can some of you more esteemed gents please list a couple of patterns I should tie for this trip. I have a total of about 20 yellows flies on my name and need to stock up, but I have no idea where to begin. Chris I'll take you up on that borrowing deal as well
    Fishing is just my thing. I don't know what it is but it seems that i just can't get enough of it.
