I will not make it now, my wife and I will be hosting our annual Fakesgiving day that day. Maybe one of you in the Everett area could take my flies to the swap. I think folks need to see how those hooks work.
We are about a week out
how is everyones ties going ?
I am bring some food and hope others will too
Please come prepared to demo you ties or share anything else you want to.
I wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and many tight lines and bent rods to come
from monsteriously large fish
that take epic runs
and hope you have enough backing when they happen.
I just found out that I will have other obligations on that day. I am really bummed as I would have loved to meet you all and see all of the flies that were tied up. I already have my set of flies tied so I will drop them off at the Avid Angler this week. They will all be toe tagged so I hope that they get swapped and someone enjoys them.
Sounds like a good time! I was planning to swing by AA anyway, and just saw this thread. I'll definitely join in for socializing. Would love to meet some new folks.
If we get a #13 and need a #14, or if someone drops out, I can try to fill in, though I haven't really had a chance to prove my patterns in the salt and on the swing and all I really have are some trout patterns.
Ira, I work in Everett, so I can try to get your flies and swap them for you. Let me know...
Anybody up for a bit of fishing beforehand? Maybe a few quick hours?
I am tying trout patterns (they are probably the one type of fish we all fish for). Because they tend to be quicker and less material intense than some of the other styles I am just tying up some extras to make the exchange more even.
I'm more than up for demoing as I imagine others will set up as well. I went so far as to make sure that the Avid Angler carried the specialty materials I use to tie one of my patterns.
I'm still alive here! I have a set of PMD size 20 emergers tied up so far. Not sure just yet about the rest. Either some size 24 Blue Wing Olives, or some simple Popsicle Sticks or a version thereof...hmmmmm. See you all Saturday.

Batch of seal bugger variants is done, and just gotta whip up a few more of my favorite caddis pattern. Hope it's ok that I'm doing different colors...
I'm still not 100% sure I will be there as I have a new ACR1327 and the river is calling...
However, my flies will be there for sure. I tied my variation of the McMillan Winter's Hope and another pattern of my own design that I like for low, clear winter days and call simply "Green & Copper".
Wish I could, but I'm leaving from Everett. Maybe put this in the main forum.
