flytyman1 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2011 :thumbsup: Nice looking fly Rich! I'm going to try to take a picture of my fly, and post it tomorrow! I sent message with addy out to all the members who need to send in their flies. If anyone has any questions, just message me back. For those members who are in areas where the weather is bad don't risk yourselves just to get your flies in the mail, there is still plenty of time, be safe and stay warm! flytyman1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytyman1 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 :jumpy: Here is the fly I tied for the swap. It is a #12 Slate Drake Emerger of my own design. It has worked great for me on some of the Northcentral and Southcentral PA streams like the Loyalsock as well as Yellow Breeches. The fly can be fished in the surface film or as a rising emerger by adding some weight to your line about 10 to 12 inches above the fly. The thread, CDC wings, Goose Biot legs and dubbing for the head can be changed to create different colored flies. Any one who would like a copy of the pattern and how it is tied just post your request and I will send a copy along with the swap flies when I send them out. Hope you enjoy the pattern? Just to give you an idea of how the body is tied, it is first under-wrapped with iron gray thread then over wrapped with clear vinyl strips cut from a clear vinyl protective glove. The trailing shuck is just clear antron yarn or clear twisted packing twine that is brushed out and then burned together to create the trailing shuck. flytyman1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytyman1 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2011 :thumbup: :yahoo: Received a real nice set of CDC Blue Winged Olive Emergers from Stanbiker today! Nice flies thanks for getting them here early! That makes 6 sets of flies in hand and only 6 more to go before the deadline. I have heard back from everyone in the swap and everything is looking good for receiving all the flies by the deadline date. Once I receive all the flies I am going to take pictures and post them. Thank's again for everyone's participation in the swap! flytyman1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytyman1 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2011 :thumbup: :ban: Received 2bonthewater's flies in the mail today. Beautifully tied Sulfer Emergers! Interesting pattern, never saw one tied like that before, can't wait to try that out on a Sulfer hatch this summer. I'm definitely going to have to tie up some more just like it. Vinny I'm also from PA, how well has this pattern worked on our PA waters or is this a new take on the Sulfer Emerger pattern! I'll wait till I post the pictures to let everyone else see the pattern prior to them receiving it. This should perk the other swapper's anticipation. That leaves just 5 more sets of flies to receive. flytyman1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
