The swap is now closed to new tyers.

 

We have a total of 13 swappers which means everyone needs to send in at least 12 flies.

 

I am looking forward to seeing a bunch of nice flies in this swap. :bugeyes:

 

OK, now it's time to start tyin' :headbang:

I'm feeling the guilt...do you guys(and gals) get to the airport 5 hours before flight time???

Just kidding...I just recently entered the fly you will be receiving from me in a local fly tying contest..if I get lucky, I'll win a 7'11'' 4 wt Orvis Power Matrix...but I might just get beat by Flygirl or Redwings; they're in the contest too.

My flies for this swap are in the mail. Let me say a word of explanation about my submission. This was a pattern I found on the Dick Talleur website. I tied it as he suggested except that he used rabbit fur and partridge hackle dyed olive. I had neither item in olive & so I tied mine with natural colors. He called this pattern a "bead head hare's ear soft hackle," but it looks more like a "bead thorax" to me because the bead is BEHIND the hackle. But whatever, it looks like a very effective pattern to me. I am looking forward to trying it on the 'gills here in the South, & I would be interested to know how it works for trout.

 

Thank, Todd, for hosting. Great swap.
