 Its all about what is in the box Clint not the box itself.

Whew !!! , Don't count me out Charlie, mine are done and will be heading your way tomorrow ..
I will admit it was a struggle for me.. I haven't tied in a very long time and realized my skills and eyesight has diminished greatly.. Had 1/2 the batch of salmon flies done and was completely not happy with any of the things I tied so went back from scratch.. 
I know most fish the mid-upper river so I tried to keep that in mind and stuck to more natural colors and adding enough movement in the fly to entice the strike..
The other 7 are a steelhead scud pattern that has worked well for me ..
Given that, I didn't just take a pipe cleaner and wrap it on a 1/0 hook , I believe each fly and pattern has at least 3 or more materials incorporated in them..
I also was not very proud of my sloppy skills so I'm throwing in 7 of my go to SRS steelhead streamer pattern that I have had un used in my fly boxes.. Most of you guys have already received this pattern but a few of the guys here have not so they are just extra to share and I wish nothing extra in return..
Thanks again for putting this together and waiting on a lazy bum like myself.. Looking forward to seeing what others fish and tie one on my line :

Rich that is the same way I felt when I picked up my bobbin. Felt  like I could not see and I was all out of sorts. You know as well as me that the fish don't care if they are close. I probably did a dozen of each and picked out the best ones and even those I knew were not the same quality I have done before. The extra will go in my box and still fish fine. It's gonna be like Christmas soon opening up the box.
