OK marty we might close this thread if there is no other intrest. :(

[Mark Bové]

I will play!! I will tie the Bully an articulated bull trout slaying machine that has taken multiple fish over the magical 40" mark.

[Jake Smulkowski]

I'm in if you decide to run it.

[obiwankanobi]

I've got a killer pattern if we have enough players. I'm in!!!

[Nate Dutton]

OK Boys looks like we are gonna give it a go!!! You guys want one or two patterns??? If we do two we can defintly extend the due dates for people who don't have as much time to tie!! Let me know what you guys thing and we will try to get down pat when everyone responds...Also try to post patterns if you know what you want to tie!

Great, lets do this!! My vote is for two big uglies a piece. I will tie what I call the Rocky Ford Special and a modified version of one of John Barr's patterns.:thumb:

[Jarad Skeels]

Ohhhhh, all right you talked me into it.

[Nate Dutton]

Ohhh yea try to include materials list...either on the web site or in writing! Your guy's choice

[Nate Dutton]

Tie, Tie, Tie, Tie your little hearts out!!!!!!!

[obiwankanobi]

Well, I got the uglies tied up tonight after work. Ahh, yes I can't wait for a sunny morning on a clear flowing freestone river with a big ugly on the end of my line. Waiting for that huge jerk that almost rips the rod from your hands and you hold the rod in anticipation for a glimpse of what comes out of that deep hole.

[Nate Dutton]

[obiwankanobi]

I apologize if I'm holding the swap up. The flies are tied and ready and have just yet to write up the recipe's and send them off. Tonight I am getting a pontoon and I promise to all that the flies will be in the mail tonight if I can get to the post office in time or tomorrow at the latest!!!!

[obiwankanobi]

I will mail them out first thing tomorrow morning. I will post on this swap the recipes for each so everyone can view.

How about posting pics of this swap? I just know that the flies will be great and other tiers, can copy the patterns.

Nate, if you can't post pics, I might be able too, once I get my digital camera repaired.

Hope yall like, better yet, hope you catch a monster.

[Jake Smulkowski]

In the mail this afternoon!

Jake

[obiwankanobi]

BTW my streamers are riding in the USPS van right now, screaming to get out of the box. My name is Robert Holt, so when you see that name, Obi's flies are at you door.

[Nate Dutton]

Awesome guys!!! Just waiting on Mark and then i will send them out!! Can't wait!!

[obiwankanobi]

Nate,

Hopefully you will be getting them soon. I just read the swapping rules and I shafted you on postal expense :beathead:

I will give you the two bucks that you need for the p&s!! Bear with me, this is my first swap.

WARNING: I never toe tagged my flies, but Nate, I'm not sure how you will moderate this, but if you wouldn't mind toe tagging my two patterns, that would be marv!!!! :thumb:

Got the flies today - beautiful ties from all. Great swap! I'll be up on the Joe trying them out in a few deep holes tomorrow.

[Marty]

great swap, can't wait to get them wet.:beer2:

[obiwankanobi]

Good swap and I have never fished the traditional patterns. I like the nails on them. I don't know if I should fish with them or keep em around to look pretty.

Jake how did the Joe fish this weekend?

[Jake Smulkowski]

Sorry for the late reply, Obi - it fished great. Fish were in the big riffles, in the "blue" spots. Any hope of seeing the pics?
