The flies that you throw under tree limbs on a 90 deg day that make a big "splat", that could float a downrigger ball. Doesn't have to be a Stone or hopper, but the inbetween flies that could represent anything that would fall out of the brush. Examples: Madam X, chernobyl, turners bank robber, etc....Basically rubber legs, foam, deer and elk hair stuff. Also, I have read the complaints about people not getting thier flies back, so here is my solution: If you send me $5, I will UPS your flies to you and PM you the tracking number, so there will be no "lost in the mail" issues. Im thinking 12 persons max, since these are not quick to tie. April 25th deadline. If I get all the flies by the 25th, I will ship on the 27th, and PM you your tracking numbers that evening.
Anyone interested?
Thanks,
Jason

i already said i tied it on a size 2 because i knew i was going to take pictures of it. i tie my terrestrials on size 8 usually 2x long or 3x long hooks. I WILL JOIN THE SWAP AND TIE SOME BUGS. is it still 12 flies each? what size hooks do you prefer and i'll tie them up. if you don't tell me i already said what your gonna get.
this is my first swap, ive been tying since about last October, and tying with a vise since about November. how i started fly tying is wierd, how i started fly fishing- i wanted to fish my flies. which came first the fly or the pole?
I cant believe people are not joining after seeing all of these.....and honestly....its 12 flies...if you tie 1/2 of one fly a day you will still make the deadline.
what size hooks are those on? how do you want us to send them to you, i was looking at a Altoids tin but i don't think i want to sent 6 Altoids tins to you
no i feel embarrassed your flies rock, ive got a little lake that ive wanted to try since November and im counting down the days till it opens. these flies will hopefully bring me some fish there or on the YAK!!!!!
Those are a size 6 hopper hook. (wider gap than the 200R) Can you fit all 12 in the altoids box? you can also send a small fly box, and I'll put your new flies in it and make sure it gets back to you. I will PM you the shipping info. Has everyone got the shipping address so far? If not please let me know...Thx
OZ pm me shipping info I was messin around at the vise tonight so Ill have the pattern narrowed down by the weekend Ill post some pics mayeb sunday so you all can critisize my flys.
im new to fly fishing and fly tying
i want to join this but i dont know of any good and easy patterns.
any suggestions that are easy to tie but that are not useless for all the other tiers?
ill try to think of something by tommorow and get back to you.
its all on the first post and ozcast will pm you the address
color black over yellow, size 2x long dry fly hook. you could also talk to a local shop, or google your ?'s. the internet will answer almost every question there is
Solid flies Arthur...great effort! You pretty much tied up the Chernobyl version of my flies. These colors work great in the summer.
