Here are the patterns so far. It appears that crawdad/crayfish patterns are a popular choice! [cool] Feel free to elaborate on your pattern with how you fish it or any other interesting details.

Let me know if there are issues with the pictures. I adjusted filesize but not image size, hope it's not an issue. I'll also be including at least one more pattern, I just haven't decided on what it will be. I'll also put up a picture of the prize box once it's put together.
Cheers all!

Cool deal. Some nice looking stuff. Definately some talented tyers/tiers/tie errrrs here.
I think you should leave that last pattern as a surprise. No hurries here.
Gosh, now I got to get a new box for all the new flies.

The crawfish patterns are fished with 2-3 hard/fast strips then a good long pause...

the "stabbers" are short / quick retrieve also followed but short pause....

The other couple -purple peril- looking flies are slow steady retrieve...

I did get them! Thanks for checking. Now all we are waiting for is flies from TheGroveBone, and I'll be able to mix them up and send them out!

Looks like things are pretty much good to go. I'll do the mixing and packaging either Thursday or Friday and should have the flies out by Monday. For those who are local, I can either drop them off or you are welcome to come get them by then. I included another fly that is my go-to fly for carp, and I'll post up pictures of the others I received, as soon as I have a moment.

All sorted and pretty much good to go. Would send them out tomorrow but I work all day, so they should be headed out Monday. If you live close you can come snag them tomorrow, just shoot me a PM and I should be able to respond to it throughout the day. There will be someone here to do the handoff.

Damn, I wish I would've found this thread a month ago... FG and I have been slaughtering carp on the fly this year -- maybe I'll try this on the Utah forum... (meh, I'm pretty lazy actually)

Got mine today. Some real talent here. Great looking flies to all. I may be afraid of using some for fear of losing them. Very cool.
