Here's the idea. Tie one or two of your favorite big nasty secret hog flies. Anyone want to be the SZCHWAPMEISTER? Roper is my pick but he might need a break from all of the carp swap work.

All takers please post the name of your fly. I'll start:

My patented: Big Bad two tone double bunny Zonker. Trust me fellas, this one is a killer.

And hey you ladies join in! Let's get some diversity. All of my flies are pure Testosterone. I want to see what an Estrogen fly is like.

Parameters: 12 Person Swap (if more express serious interest then we will think about upping the limit, but I will leave that up to the Schwapmiester).

And let's say, have the flies tied and in the mail by May 1st.

Im in: My fly will be the brown bearded zonker that feeds on little MAC zonkers for breakfast

[Kaari White]

Mac, I hate to break it to you, but no fly with the word "bunny" in the name is pure testosterone.

Wish I could join, but my skillz are purely in the learning stages of fly tying. I definitely would not do the ladies out there proud with one of my creations. :beathead

Announcing The "BIG BAD HOG" Fly-Swap!!!!!

Oh my hell Pat, your Brown Pornstache Zonker is just a wannabe bunny. Nothing, I repeat NOTHING moves underwater like peter cottontail. Ya hear me there Pat?

So far we've got myself with my: Big Bad two tone testosterone double bunny Zonker. (A killer for sure)

And PWOENs': "Ron Jeremy" Zonker.

I'm in. Is there a minimum fly size of a shark hook? I would like to tie an egg sucking woolly bugger with a twist. Is it a requirement to throw in some rabbit? I know there is no swhapmeister yet, but we need a limit of people and a date to tie the flies by.

Even the thousandsth trip to the same old familiar fished-out stream begins with renewed hope, with unfailing faith--Zane Grey

BIG BAD HOG

Maybe something in H.D. Black and Orange...

By the by Mr. MacRowdy, how's that scooter comin'???

Roper,

Good things come to those who wade...

 

[MacRowdy]

BIG BAD HOG

Yes Rope, how did you know that the HD Halloween colors would be in full effect? You should see the HD bunny strips I had Dennis order up for me. Unreal.

The Scooter is good. Now that I have it running good I am about to tear it appart to change a few gaskets and detail the hell out of it. It is already borderline near mint but it has had a little oil leak that needs cleaned up and then it will be squeeky clean.

So Roper, are you in for the swap? Nomminate a Schwapmiester. Someone who doesn't have ADD.

BIG BAD HOG

Count me in.

What are the requirements? Rabbit fur flies? Rabbit stripped flies? Crosscut rabbit hares stump? Streamers?

Can I tie an olive bugger with copper wire and 10 turns of .025 on a size 8 5263?

Oh yeah I forgot...HOGS....Make that size 2/0

 

[MacRowdy]

BIG BAD HOG

Dude, you can tie anything you want with whatever you want. Hog flies only though. Got your e-mail. So what will it be? olive sculpin or olive bugger copper wire etc....? Confirm and I will add you to the offcial list!

Saaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeet!

Current Tiers and Flys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I have a sweet streamer I fish for browns with in Montana that I will throw in.
Big lead eyes, rabbit strip back, a ton of legs.... I'll start tying today....
crump:thumb

 

[MacRowdy]

So Crump makes 7 and ****** makes 8. He is tying his Famous and "Secret" Kerry bugger (or however you spell that) So that means we've got room for 4 more swappers. Who would like to volunteer for the Szchapmiester? Any nominees? I would like to Nominate ****** but he says he's waaaay too busy working his 20 hours a week. So I guess we'll count him out. Crump already did his duty with the first swap. And I did the dirty job of collecting funds for Chris' Bamboo Christmas present.

Roper did you want to join the swap?

Beuller? Beuller?

[Backyard]

I'm down to do a damsel streamer bugger thing... Kinda like the BC Damsel but with a little more beef.

I'll even play Szchapmiester if no one else steps up to the plate. I always have lots of dead time here at the shop at least until school gets out.

~cHris

 

[Ricardo O.]

I'm in...

But my pattern is a surprise. I gar-own-tee it'll catch a hog! Sounds like Backyard might step up to the "Meister" plate...good, because I'm up to my butt in alligators and I still have to drain the swamp.

Roper,

Good things come to those who wade...

 

[Irafly]

I call it the "Modified Shit" sorry if profanities are not allowed here, but I'll be honest with you there is no better way to describe this fly other than "Man this fly is the shit".

IRA..

 

[514]

Alright, since rowdy says I have to get involved in this swap or that I'm dead to him forever. wait a minute...maybe the latter is a good deal???:dunno

But the fly I will be tying is the Thin Mint Leech and not the carrie bugger. Its a must have for Chopaka lake.

So now that this thing is getting going, whens the do date for the flies??
