What is the difference between the SS Nymph and the Grey Goose Nymph?

Davey McPhail has a nice video of Sawyer's actual flies - grey goose and SS nymphs start at 1:50

Been watching this poor old oak die for years.  The photo doesn't do it's size any justice.  

Still waiting on an order of materials.  ☹️

Have fun.  Looking forward to the pics. 

Got mine yesterday, excellent set of leeches. Thanks all, and to Woodenlegs for hosting another great swap.

Thank you.  Oh, and excellent job revamping your  website.  I had not been on there in a while.  

Whole wheat sourdough and pickled eggs. Who's got the butter?

I completely spaced off putting those on.

LoL - no worries from me, and I'm sure the rest of the tiers.  Believe me, I done alot worse in a swap or two than just forgetting the toe tags.  Thanks for joining.  

Sweet!

Anyone else have a good alternative to fly thread for small tying?

I use a few sewing threads IN fly tying, but not for fly tying, if that makes any sense.  How do you think it compares to the same size Uni or Ultra threads?  Or have you not received them yet?

I only see a blue message. "POSTIMAGE free image hosting"

That happened to some of my photos last week.  I had to delete the links and the photos on postimage, and redo them.  

Nice tying everybody. 

Certainly something to look forward to.  I used to live just a few houses aways from a small private lake, I could be wetting a line less than 3 minutes from my front door - sure do miss it.  

Looks like my leeches should be delivered today.

If there are any no show swappers, please keep my extras.

Mostly just tied because I had always wanted to try tying them. 

So many flies. So little time.

Those are awesome.  Are they for fishing or keeping?

Too far for me now, used to live right down the road in High Bridge.  Nice area of NJ.  

Now that's a hatch!  Nice.
