Ray She does tie flies but she told me she has problems with the small trout flies. I think at this point its just practice and getting a little more dexterity in her fingers. She really gets plenty of stuff from our UFT members so shes all set with supplies. She has outgrown the childrens program so she will be part of our regular UFT group starting in the fall. Were slowly working her into being an instructor for us also. She got a full table the first time we had her instruct for UFT and that does wonders for a kids self confidence. I think were going to give her a couple more beginner saltwater tables this year as long as it doesnt interfere with her school work. I may have to work something out with mom where I can drive her on Wednesdays. She lives over on the islands but goes to school at a private school closer to my house and our meetings. If it works out she will be getting lots of instruction on different techniques this year. Thank you for thinking of her. Warm Regards, Deb

Believe me, Deb, Sow Bug is one of the best. You really need to get next years event on your calendar and get one of the gals like Foxy to come with you. Or heck, bring your husband. I'm sure he'd enjoy the fishing while you are tying flies. JIMMY D [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Everyone, I got a really nice letter from Daphne too.

She will turn 17 this summer but I don't think her mother will let me bring her all the way to Arkansas. I'm trying to talk her mom into bringing her to the Somerset show. I think they both would enjoy it. She's in Canada now... she won some kind of a scholarship for an all expenses paid educational week there. She's a very bright young lady. I'm glad you're all getting nice letters from her. She really loved the flies.

With a little work, us'ns might be able to get Daphne and Deb to attend next year's Sow Bug.
