Re: [VFB] Politics in circuit tying

Allan, i always (unless i forget, lol) bring old film canisters with me to 
shows too. Being the "Keeper" in the CFTG i have to run the monthly meeting 
swaps. And all the guys bring their swap flies in film canisters, so i have 
an endless supply. If you ever get a chance and like classic Catskill style 
flies, come over and see the CFTG "collection" housed in my 
gallery..........along with hundereds of other flies by so many different 
tyers from around the country and the world. Boy and are you right about 
"One never knowing......................................do one?" 
mark..........

I usually tie up a bunch of flies that I will be tying at the shows before 
hand. I was not able to do it this time.

Tony, what a great story. I, too, when I do demo flies for the local TU
always give my flies away..and only with the permission of the father or
mother of the kid who sits quietly enthralled as I tie. Your story warmed 
my
heart and made my day. Thanks for sharing.

I also try to tie some rubber spiders on safety pins for the little ones.  
 It's helpful to tie up a supply of these ahead, because someone is sure 
to come up with five or six kids and they all want one.

And before I leave for tying, I stop by a camera store and get a big bag 
full of empty 35mm containers with the snap-on lids (the store I go to 
saves them for anyone who wants them till they get a big barrel full, then 
they throw them away).  That way when you give a real fly to someone, they 
don't get it stuck in their shirt.  And I also always de-barb every hook.  
After all, one never knows when the person on the other side of the table 
might be a "Sue-First- Ask-Questions-Later" type.
