Once we have everyone, it will be easier to set a due date, but usually I give it a month. So look to have things done sometime around the 1st of the year. If you start now, that is less than a fly a day, easy!

Shit. Spare time is rare these days, but I guess count me in. Question: Does it have to be two of the exact same? What about eleven of one fly, eleven of another?

Travis. This sounds like a great pattern. Is there a link to a fly recipe you can suggest?

Yesterday I tied John Barr's meat whistle for the first time. I am wondering if these flies are similar. While tying the meat whistle I was thinking it might do well at my local lake.

Finished mine just now. I was going to power through on a full-on Rickards bender but I'd forgotten that tying a decent seal bugger is quite the art project. So after 11 of those, I decided to pay tribute to another great leech-chucker, Tim Lockhart, who professes great affection for all things simiseal.

I figured that Ira and Nick will provide good options for the leech-danglers among us . . .ya know, if you can get past the bobber . . .;)

I tied 2 of Ira's Bloodworm pattern with one substitution, liquid lace in place of wire. I like the look of wire but my hope is this will last many many fish.

I filled a liquid lace with mineral oil for the Swap Master, Ira. Ira, only use water based head cement with the liquid lace. It melts. I use wood floor glue. If you need some, I have enough to supply the entire forum with head cement!

I will put them on your porch.
