    I'm in if you take Continentals. I don't have American stamps and our Postoffice doesn't know IRC, so we must work out a compensation for the costs you would have to maken for postage. I wil send a bubbly envelope with my name and adress on it. What are your thoughts on a possible compensation? Paypal, extra flies, other wishes? If you take me in I'll do a CdC body with a Hare's Snow Shoe wing, hook size TBD.

    Sure, let's get this thing a'swimming!

    Pattern TBD

    Any thoughts on a compensation for posting and packaging?

    I wil send an adressed return envelop, but since I'm continental (born on the wrong side of the Atlantic) I don't have American stamps. Our Post doesn't do IRC, so I can Paypal, put in some extra flies, some extra materials, whatever. Just let me know.

    When will be the due date??

    I'm doing tubeflies. 5 are done, 7 to go! Body is silver holographic tinsel, ribbed with a grey saddle hackle, counterribbed with one strand of the holotinsel, winged with black Artic fox and a collar of long yellow Marabou hackle, head black metallic cone. It has lots of movement in the water!!

    OK...first time for a swap now that I am in WA.

     

    12 flies due to me by 1 May and you won't get your own back. Any more than 12 will be considered swapmiester gratuity and retained. Other than that, normal swap rules apply.

     

    I'm cool with international swappers as long as they include some dollars to cover return postage. My post office is in hicksville and they will not take the coupon even though I have protested many times.

     

    Reply with "I'm In" and state your pattern or TBD. Thanks for joining.

    My flies are done and in the post, priority. Sorry for holding up this terrific Swap. I had some material issues and I mixed up the due dates.

     

    Total Hatch Swap

     

    Rhyacophila Dorsalis aka The Sandfly

     

    Larval Stage aka Rockworm:

     

    Hook: size 8 grub

    Sticky back lead (Virtual-Nymph.com), two layers, preshaping the body with white Benechi 8/0 tying thread, leaving a long strand at the eye of the hook to tye off the bodywhool. The bobbin rests at the tail. Firts tye in the tail, than the rib and than the bodywhool.

    Tail: Phyloplume dyed olive, tip severed out.

    Body: three ply olive knitting whool, tapered in beginning and the end, wrapped round the shank wound very tight like a rope, leaving a distinct space between the windings.

    The space between the segments is overwound first with the tying thread catching yellow dyed partridge hacklefibers for legs between the first three segments.

    Follow the groove with a slightly lighter shade of two ply olive embroiderysilk. Ty off and whip. Now stroke an olive felttipped pen over the back. Be sure to not touch the lower lying embroiderysilk, just tint the whool on top and at the sides. In this way you enhance the segmentation and the back will be slightly darker than the belly.

     

    Emerger stage aka The fluttering sedge. Some species don’t crawl ashore and hatch there, but they climb to the surface up the waterplants like reeds etc. There they hatch, fluttering their wings, which is very catching to the eye.

     

    Hook: size 14 dry.

    Extension: hollow body off glittery dubbing made round a needle by dubbing and varnishing the needle, then pulling off the hollow body. Stick the hook through the underside of the hollow body and tye it down with the 8/0 white Benechi tying thread. Tye in at the hookbend a yellow CdC hackle by the tip. Wrap the tying thread to the eye and tye in two antennae from tail fibers of the Golden Pheasant. Wrap back to the point three mm forward of the tying in point off the extension. Here tye in four wings made from two strips of Waterwing (Virtual-Nymph.com). Overwrap two longer strips forward for three mm and overwrap backwards so they stand upright. Wrap your tyingthread to the eye and dub with FlyRite nr 30 (March Brown). Wrap the dubbing backwards to the tying in point off the extension, wrap the thread forward to the eye. Wind the CdC hackle two turns behind the hindwings, two turns between the hindwings and the forwings and two turns between the forwings and the eye. Tye off, whipfinnish and take you scissors to nip off the reces. Try to trap the wings and the CdC barbules upright.

     

    Adult stage, the Sandfly

     

    Size 14 longshank

    Dub a spikey body with hares ear dubbing.

    Tye in a wing form Virtual Nymph (Realistic Caddis Wings).

    Wrap an oversized coch-y-bondu hackle, just four to five turns. Clip away top and sides and clip away a smal V at the underside. Overty this with the spikey dubbing you used for the body. Comb the dubbing between the hackle fibres using a strip off Velcro

    OK guys, this is a 'Total Hatch Swap' and this is how it works.

    We all pick a certain Mayfly, Midge, or Caddis that hatches on whatever stream you fish the most.

    Since we are tying 12 flies, you tie 4 nymphs, 4 Adults, and 4 Spent. If you are tying a caddis or midge, you can substitute the Spent by tying 4 emergers. Understand? To join just post an "I'm in" and name the insect you are tying.

    (as in, "I'm in with a Blue Quill mayfly" etc. etc.)

    When I have recieved all the sets, I mix them up and send them to everybody. As in you won't get you tin back, you will get somebody elses tin with all their flies in it. Make sense? Good! Lets fill these empty spaces. We'll see if we can make it to 15, if not then we'll go with 12. Due date will be August 20th to give us all plenty of time.

    (15.)

     

     

     

    Every body tie 12 flies! 4 nymphs, 4 adults, and four spent (or in the case of caddis or midge, emerger)!!!

     

    If you accept European tyers I'm in and will be tying the Sandfly AKA Rhyacophila Dorsalis in nymph, emerger and adult. Beforehand we have to consent on the issue of postage, since I can"t stamp the return envelope with Dutch stamps.

    Cheers
