Hooper Juan's fly box for Trout Unlimited

Hopper Juan is making a box for his local chapter of Trout Unlimited to be auctioned off. I have choose to participate and came up with 56 flies that I sent out today. I urge you members to check it out today and if you have some spare flies to send them his way.  Here is the link to his post on his blog.  http://hopperjuan.blogspot.com/2011/03/up-for-challenge.html#comments  Juan has made major contributions to the fly tying world and I full support him. Here are the 56 flies I will be sending. Not the best picture but I did send a full array of the flies that I am good at.  I already sent them out before I checked the picture for quality.  That was my bad.  It was a mixture of hoppers, baitfish, dry flies, green drakes, leeches, nymphs, and emergers.  Hopefully it helps his cause. Thanks Juan for supporting Trout Unlimited and your help in all the fly tying and fishing world.

    Very nice contribution. I wish I had some free time to churn out something. Is the pattern on the lower right your leech? I'd love to see better pics of that.

    By the way, this new live feed visitor thing you got goin' is weird. I think it's saying I'm a visitor from "Beech Bluff" TN... I've never even heard of "Beech Bluff," and wherever that small hamlet may be... it ain't near Memphis.

    I think it goes off zip codes but really I have no idea. It always shows when I visit and a couple of my good buddies it is correct. But again I have no idea how it works. I just put it on to see the cities and counties of my visitors. :)

    I googled "Beech Bluff" and it's near Jackson, between Memphis and Nashville... so it's only like 90 miles off. Weird.

    yeah but 90 miles is still not that close.

    Great looking flies, they will be greatly appreciated! What is the yellow and black fly on the right side of the picture? It looks like a stonefly...

    Good for you for helping the cause. If I sent flies in Juan would lose his membership to TU.

    Ha! Dustin, you rock! I will be running home, looking for the mailman on the way. I picked up a fly box today, but Ii may not be big enough! Thanks for all the hard work you have done for this. There is going to be a really lucky person who gets this box.
