Gary Madore 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 Well, here is my entry for this swap, a size 10 "Doc Spratley" which is a very successful lake pattern out west. My ties have a black dubbed body, silver tinsel ribbing, grizzly-hackle tail and beard, pheasant-tail wing, and peacock-herl head, all held together with black 8/0 nylon and spit. Er, I mean "head cement." Cheers! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First, this has to be the most unique fly delivery in the history of swapping: A hollwed out block of styrofoam became an "igloo" for this "frozen north" swap: And there was a handful of these gorgeous ties inside: Heartfelt thanks to my fishin' buddy Gary for also including some samples from various swaps and fundraisers he's currently involved with: You guys have some AWESOME ties coming your way (the shrimp is wicked!)

Gary Madore 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 :headbang: sweet tie! Indeed. I thought that my #10 Doc Spratleys were rather small and dainty until the flies from y'all began to arrive. Now mine looks like I tied it on a grappling hook with rope and steel cable in comparison Cheers! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
