Great Griz Wulff Norm. Your pics of the three angles, very nice, especially the front view of the hackle.

Jubilee Midge sz 16 scud hook white 70 Vevus under, black 70 thorax two strands chartreuse one strand black Polaris hair body 8 mystery uv strands for wing case and legs Next fly : Grizzly Wulff

I’ll take the Jujubee midge.

👍👍 Times 2 on the pegboard. Easier to find stuff. Not a fan of drawers for tools. My neighbor built a 4’x 6’ peg board cabinet with sliding doors to hide the tools. Coolest garage / shop layout I’ve seen.

Shipped today. Was fun tying these, thanks for hosting.

Agreed, only thing wrong with that fly is that it’s not on the end of a 4 or 5x leader drifting about 6 inches off the bottom of a good trout run.

I have two dry fly saddles that twist no mater what I do. I’ve tried everything to get them to wind those nice straight wraps. No go. I still use them on flys for myself, they fish catch 🐠 just as good as the “pretty ones”.

Might ask for 6$, five doesn’t cover most return fly swap postage these days. As a host, if I have to kick in a bit of change to cover the swapper, I don’t mind. The extra stuff swappers send me more than covers what I’ve ever paid out.

I enjoy this thread, contributed from time to time. Like to see it continue. BUT, Flytire is the one that ultimately keeps it up. I would vote for whatever he recommends. It’s been a good run if it ends, I have enjoyed it. BIG thanks to Flytire for the time he has put into keeping it going, keeping the list of flys tied updated and generally keeping this thread from going “off the rails”.

I received a Truly spectacular box of flys from Dad of 6. He went way above and beyond. Thank You Dadof6 and Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas ALL!

Just open the package.. great swap all. Thankyou Bob for the quilted coaster, it’s a treasure. We are going to make the mulling mix Christmas Eve. What wine would you recommend? Great Xmas Cadus swap as always. Excellent effort by all.

What PD said Plus, Be Careful. The really powerful lights can off gas fumes, Seems a bit toxic. I use the loon battery powered one, works well. The Loon rechargeable one is too powerful, in my opinion. Used to use a cheap one from home depot, battery life really sucked, and didn’t work so well. I

Reading that just put a tear in my eye. I will clean off and reserve prime spot on my tying bench for it. Honored to get it, Thank you Bob.

I have don the EXACT SAME THING, Bob. Happy Holidays

Awsommmmme!
