Geozips flies have landed !!!! FLIES look pretty awesome !!!! :bugeyes: geozip did three flies !!! over-achiever :cheers: Looking pretty good so far..................

Addy Sent :punk:

No way are you holding things up............due date is Sept 16.........plenty of time to get them done !!!!! Not sure about anyone else, but this time of the year I get Obessive Compulsive with my salmon and steelhead flies........I turn into a machine and just crank them out...........in the last week I have tied up about 75 stoneflies, 160 estaz eggs, and have prepped over 200 streamer hooks and egg hooks with a moe-egg head..............20 prince nymphs and a few steelie sized hares ears......... I still have a ton of hooks--- sucker spawn, caddis, buggers, stoneflies, streamers, gloBugs and halo eggs still need to be tied !!!!! :headbang: :punk:

sweet !!!! I've been doing estaz egg patterns and prepping a million hooks with a moe-egg head----can't wait for the salmon to run and the steel to follow..................................

HonestFlyFisher's flies are the first to arrive............pretty neat looking........ :bugeyes: :headbang: Mine are done and geozip's are on the way............ Moving along nicely...........

Sent !!!

You guys can do either 12 of one pattern--- everyone gets 2 or you can do 6 of two patterns --- everyone gets 2---just 2 different flies either way- it is a total of 12 flies I will be doing 6 of two patterns.......... It doesn't matter........with the few AWESOME folks who decided to do this swap----- opens up the 12 or 6/6 ............the 6/6 of two patterns sounds cool........ I'll be doing my DEATH stonefly--- 2 salmon catching colors..........or a DSF and a nuk-egg? send me a PM for my address when your flies are done Vinny 2Bonthewater

Hey fellas........ Seems we are the only ones that are going to be a part of this swap, so how is this idea? we each do 2 sets of flies, 6 each set or we can just do a dozen of one pattern and we each get two....... let me know what you guys think...........I can close it now and we can have at it Vinny 2Bonthewater

Sounds Interesting...........

SWEET

Hey JOhn..............the flies don't have to be pretty.........just mean and tough looking so that the salmon gets ticked off and smashes the fly.........there are some simple effective patterns too --- stop light or stop signal is a killer pattern and is a cinch to tie........big buggers--with legs and egg head..........estaz buggers..........veiled eggs.......the list goes on......... nobody is expected to tie an intricate west coast spey style fly..........unless they really want to.............get crazy with a stonefly pattern........ Vinny -- Hey, it's my first swap as swapmeister.........just want to fill it up !!!

Allright Horseshoes !!! I'll revoke the US only............to include Canada............no fighting from me !!!! there are some atlantic salmon, but not many........ Lake Ontario King and Coho salmon----they will be running the tribs soon enough...............

3 chartreuse death stoneflies in the mail tomorrow at lunch time........I use them for salmon and steelhead

I'm in.........this sounds pretty darn cool........superb idea

flies mailed this morning

sorry to hear about that.......

if you need another tyer, I can join the swap....................

Just found the Happy Birthday......... Thanks........ Hopefully everyone is shaking off Winter and getting ready for spring............. Heard some American Woodcocks the other night as I was coming off the creek PEENT PEENT PEENT :headbang:

I don't think anyone has ever gotten mad with flies received from any swap.......there will always be great tyers, new tyers and all the folks inbetween........it is about gaining experience with hopes that you can learn from the swap, pick-up new ideas....... and most importantly........don't ever sell your flies short.........almost any fly will catch fish.........that is a fact.......

Vern-o I use 6/0 thread and then cover the last bead and the knot with soft-tex--keeps it from coming apart.......

well well well what a great batch of flies......... thanks to all involved.........they all look outstanding....... here steelie steelie !!!!
