I'd be willing to send in a couple flies for someone to use as "stages." I'll give 'em away for free.

Don,
First of all, thank you so much for your reply - not only to my question but
to the Fly Ting 101 questions.
It is true what I have heard about VFB - it seems to be a collection of
really great people who are willing to share experience and wisdom. you -
and other like you - are truly a credit to the passion of fly fishing!
I have one more suggestion to add to yours. Perhaps a collection of the
most popular flies for those of us who are having problems with proportions?
I would be willing to purchase or trade for "specimen" flies that I could
use at my bench as a benchmark - yeah, I did intend that to be a pun! For
example, I have never purchased an Adams dry fly. I have tied many of them
and fished them successfully but I have never owned one that was a "perfect"
fly. The same could be said for many other flies, as well.
I wonder what it would take to gather a small collection of specimen flies
from those who haunt VFB and offer them to those who need them? If I can
help with that, let me know.
Thanks again, Don. I look forward to a lot more information in the future
and will take your advice.
Doug
