Flies for Casting For Recovery - Please Help

Its that time of year again that I beg for some help from you fly tiers. The Casting for Recovery ladies need some flies for their clinics going on this year. Since they are a national organization the flies they recieve from the eastern based program do not work as well as flies tied for our waters. Here is a list of flies they have requested, if you can tie a dozen of a pattern for the cause it would be greatly appreciated. You dont have to commit to tying, if you tie a dozen and want to send them PM me and I'll give you my address to mail them to me if you dont already have it. Last year we got 10 dozen flies from members of the websites, which was pretty kewl and helped out alot.

Flies requested for their May clinic (need to be to me before April 26th)
Flashback Pheasant Tail - 16,18
BH Prince - 14,16

Im no expert maybe been tying for 2 years... but its pretty easy/fun. You can make it harder and if you are a production tier you could probably make it not fun, lol. But on the list is the easiest fly, usually the first fly I teach people. The san juan worm, so even beginners can join in if they want to.
