Horseshoes

End of September is good for me also.

Hi everyone glad to be in this swap. Bream going to look through my supplies and get back to you on the fly. About to send out an invite so I'll check in later.

ok fishybob too much time has gone by even from my neck of the woods. So I'll throw together another dozen and send them your way. this doz is travelling in a box of yours. Hoping the box will help steer it in the right direction like a homing pigeon. lol there is a gift for you in there for your thoughtfulness.

Hey Bob you should have received my flies by now. Let me know.

Okie dokie, I'm in.

We are not suppose to have pics.

I'm not going anywhere.

Such gracious adjectives. Unusually quiet here but is there a football or hockey thing happening? I would gladly create another fly, maybe a roll call is in order to see who is actually still in.

Nope, not me. Want another fly?

Lol even I didn't realize.

I can see it. You never disappoint.

Love Zeppelin, still play the music. Every once in a while you need to have quality time. Lol

Look, I'll delete my post and we should start over. I will do whatever. That is obviously the simplest solution. Rockworm whatever you say goes, I'm cool.

Well maybe it was me that misunderstood? Posted Today, 11:25 AM Welcome professori and flytire. And yup- you got it right tire- evolution proceeds slowly by tiny steps. (Although I hope the swap will not be as slow as it was last year.) Now, who wants to begin this year's Evolution swap? The initial fly establishes the basic character of the flies to follow and so should be original and relatively simple. Step right up and begin this year's bloodline. But it is not my swap so I just try to follow the swap Meister. Did I get it wrong?

blue fox. It's more of a grey, white and black.

rockworm I can change it, if it is too far out of your idea. It would not be a problem.

This is a little different from previous. if it is not suitable and you are looking for a smaller dry then let me know. I"ll start it with: wet blue fox Hook: size 8 2xl lure Thread: black Tail: 2 peacock swords Body: grey floss Rib: #8 fine braid KM (blue metallic) Underwing: golden pheasant crest wing: blue fox tail Collar : grizzly hackle head: red thread

I'm in

I'd be interested if there was a generous lead time. What size are we talking?

Sorry been really busy trying to dig my way out of the snow in the faint belief there is a reason to buy a fishing license this year. I received my flies on the third, last Friday. They are a fantastic collection of clouser variations. Thanks agn54 for hosting. everyone did themselves proud.

Sigh, still waiting. They have to fight the wind I guess. Cant wait.

You guys think I am going to take the bait? Lol no one is out fishing here. Couldn't even get down through the snow to ice fish. Looks like I will have to fly south in search of the sun.

Bazinga!

Almost April and temp balancing on freezing, rain will turn to snow tonight. All flooding will turn everything into ice rinks. Dave, the reason our fish taste so good is because of the crisp, cold water. I have a theory that you warm water boys got it easy in some ways, your fish are parboiled by the time you reel them in.

Yours are always great, glad they arrived safely. I hope everyone gets to fish. Our season may open but it is still frozen over with -12 temps. Is this February?
