Hi Mark
good to hear from you,i will be at the Spring show in Newark in February,doing theBelfast show in three weeks . i might get to the symposium bit of a problem as it clashes with the Irish fly fair in Galway.
finished 12 frames of the Irish may flies for Operation Mark so it is all go now to see if we can get the funds raised. git the foundations and wall built and part of the roof so we just have to wait until i auction off a few more frames. Also got some salmon flies donated by Rocky Marley Bob Fransden and a great fully dressed fly fron Ryan Houston the jock Scott,here is the link to operation Mark

here is a sample of the frames i am auctioning
all the best and a happy new year

Thanks for posting.

Lawrie, here's the url for the new show, that is going to be in NOV. http://www.britishflytyingsymposium.co.uk ......try that. Steve has givin' me the run down on everything that's happened.....and apparently the BFFI has lost it's Nov. location. We really wanna come and do Galway as well.....Stevie invited us, but.....we can't go to Britian every year let alone twice a year.....i mean we "could".....but as long as Misa is still doing the World Championships......$$$$$ we gotta watch it and make things stretch. i spose we could always scratch a few shows over here to "cover" it.........but we can do 3/4/5 shows over here for what it cost to go do one over your way.......so.......
Anyway, glad Mark is doing well.....and that things are improving financially for the situation. We love the frame we have and perhaps we can go for another one with different flies in it next time......i'll ask Misa. Btw, the U-Tube video is great. That's a hell of Klink. i'll PM you bout something soon, having to do with hooks. We just way seriously solidified are Pro Team deal with Daiichi, and things are lookin' good. Happy New Year.....be safe, be well, be happy. Bright Moments.

Well if any one is interested in one of these frames i am open to suggestions, i have 10 frames left all are Irish patterns, signed and dated on the back.
As mark can vouch this is not a financial venture it is purely for Operation Mark.
by rthe way here is another video i did this morning a great pulling pattern

Another great video Lawrence.....way cool. Fellas.....Lawrie's son was in a motor cycle accident and is now paralyzed.....so anything you can do by way of a purchase of flies, will be greatly appreciated.
