you should have no problem getting someone to tie some of those up for you. The fly is VERY simple to tie, just Purple and Pink Marabou. I wouldtie a bunch up for you, but my tube fly attachment broke on me a few weeks back and I don't have a ton of time right now.

Good luck.

If i could see it in my own hands i could tell you whats in there because it may have other things you can see very well in there. If its just maribou then its retarded easy to tie  ;D one of the easiest and quickest materials to work with and sure does catch fish. I could tie some up but i dont have enough pink&purple and i also dont have any tube cones (which are pricey so i dont use them)


I can tell you however that its tied with "spey marabou" because of the really long feathers
