It looks like a set of my personal red fish flies are going to be put up for sale.I have been made a offer by a national outfitter for a set of five proven flies.I have been tying for a large fly shop in my area for around 20 years but, I have never sold a pattern before.Have any of you guy's any experience in dealing with one of these big out fits?

I'm not going anywhere, and if you wait long enough, I'll just pick them up in person.

I'd like one also Sandy. From what I hear in the trenches. Make sure you have a Lawyer look over the contract before signing. They do tend to take advantages of tyers. Rich

And make sure your shark is a Mako, no some litle dogfish schooling around the court house lookin' for scraps... You want them to sink their teeth into that contract and get to the meat of it.

Thanks Rich, I will have my lawyer look over every thing before I sign anything.The way I see it I still hold the fly that they want and, they don't have it .One of there reps. fished it last Saturday but, he wasn't allowed to keep it after the trip LOL Ain't it funny how guides look out for each other!!! He caught fish and, really wants that fly but, we will just take our time and, see what they say.

Good DEAL! Watching each other's back is definitely the way to go!!! I'll have to come up with a "special" for the blender for the day we celebrate the deal being completed!! LOL (Don't worry, I'll come up with something that tastes good in both the leaed and unleaded versions! LOL)

I have to know did you sell the secret flie or did you keep it secret. I am going to have to go to cnot's house and check out those flies. I would be happy with a recipe or a color pattern that works good with red fish. I did get lucky enough to catch one redfish on the fly rod last year and it was awsome. I will be doing more fly fishing for them this year.
