vicrider 0 Report post Posted August 22 Yeah Mark, that one is a Zebra I tied just to do an easier one that fighting the wrapping of the flash. I think I have one or two I did with Pearl Mylar but that stuff was a disaster. The fine version curled up so bad when you cut a piece from the spool my shaky fingers just couldn't do the Mylar wrap called for so I went with the flash. My flies are always experiments in tying and then I figure out what looks good and concentrate on a limit of those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bryon Anderson 0 Report post Posted August 22 It is getting to be swappin' time again for me, but...I think I'm going to sit this one out, too. I don't really fish nymphs, so I'd just end up with a box full of flies that won't get used. I am looking forward to getting into the swaps this fall and winter though.

Chasing_Tails 0 Report post Posted August 25 I got six emerger styles ready to go but I'm going to wait until the sign-up closes later this week and if we end up with only 6 I worked up a soft hackle wet fly variant as well and will finish off a full dozen flies to send.

Woodenlegs 0 Report post Posted August 26 It’s looking like 6 is the number, we will wait till the 30th for sure But, I’m good with going with 6. What do you all think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
