overbrook

Rob...yeah it suxx.....I really liked the store ....we all thought it was a God send.....but it never really got off the ground...its barely a tear or so old. Just curious...what town in Ky do you live in? I grew up in Ft. Mitchell in N. Ky and eventually moved down on Lake Corinth before moving to SC. I've seen a few Gander Mountain stores up there...but don't recall any SW's up there ?

Wuh-ooh! I think we have one pack of that left in the store! If it's there tomorrow, I'm grabbing it! We generally fish the NC side of the park. The monsterous hike (2 miles, straight up, then straight down... not long but intense, so hit the stairmaster a for a few weeks first) into Raven's from Straight Fork is worth the extra effort if you're up for it! :wheelchair: Great tie, my friend! Have a name for it? If not, I'm calling it the Overbrook. I got my quasar from The Sportsman's warehouse....but unfortunately they would never restock it and now I'm hearing they are closing the store. :scared: :ripped: Its the only thing within 45 miles. As I mentioned...its similar to ice dub...but a little softer...and I have'nt found the yellow and orange I like...but ice dub does have a nice apple green that works well. The fly is called the crystal calftail ...... I also tie the crystal coachman ..... you can tie it with calf tail, duck quills,synthetic wing whatever....you can even do a parachute version.....

That's exactly what its tied for...small brookie streams in the smokies ....Big creek,Cataloochee,S.toe,Ravensfork and numerous unnamed bluelines the dubbing is called Quasar....similar to ice dub but softer and dubs a little tighter.

Got mine! :yahoo: though the return envelope looked like it had been walked on, drug thru the mud and crapped on by a riendeer...the inside package appeares to be intact Thanks BFR for another fun swap......will anxiously be awaiting X-mas morning :headbang:

I'm in with an end of Jan deadline...like so many others have mentioned....holidays, previous commitments etc. too much too soon

Now thats a sweet lookin fly !!! :bugeyes:

LOL.....dirty dawg.....and hey I'm right behind ya...I'll bring the net

Would that be gqualls? BFR Greg is that you??? :dunno:

Great job everyone....some really nice flies :headbang: Floyd and Flygirl....I will contact you tommorow in a PM about your runner up prizes...its late and its been a long day for me.....thanks again to everyone who participated!! :yahoo:

probably either a cdc or foam wing spinner.....not sure yet.....Supafly does a pretty mean little cdc comparadun.....or maybe he'll surprise us with some snowshoe creation....that stuff floats like a cork!

Flytyinfreak....I feel ya...I'm an over the road truck driver and we have been hit x-tra hard too....like ya said....thank God for tying....it keeps me sane when sitting around! hopefully things will level out soon and we'll all be back to steady work.....keep your chin up!

I have a good friend in Tasmania....he used to join swaps all the time .....it'll cost you a couple dollars more and like flykid said....you need to allow about 2-3 weeks for delivery......but if you don't mind nobody over here does .....usually a swapmeister will specify if he does'nt want overseas participants.

Josh....how many times have I told you....easy on the power drinks.....they're playin' tricks on your eyes again. :bugeyes:

BFR...you're very welcome....I call that the essentials pocket box :thumbup: although it is missing "the secret weapon" :whistle: the atomic worm!! did'nt wanna be guilty of turning ya'll to the dark side

If theres still room....I'm in.....my buddy Supafly twisted my arm

There are some very nice flies....thats fer sure....unfortunately I flushed my vote by looking at the results before voting :crying: :ripped: next time I'll read the fine print :wallbash:

mine went postal this afternoon...two identical sets one for the swapmeister for all his hard work....one for the swapee for being a good boy/girl this year :yahoo:

BFR ....need the address too...will send out in a day or two....thnx OB :headbang:
