troutguy 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2011 Please let me thank each of you for a great swap. Everyone got their flies in, the flies were all great. I am heading to Montana next week and will be trying them out. Please let me know when you get your flies. Djgunter, I mailed yours for as inexpensive as I could. You have like $11 change coming back at you. I reused a padded envelope to save cost. Thanks again for joining from Hong Kong. Where do you get those big eyes for the streamers you sent?

Margaretann 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2011 Oh and apparently I forgot to paint the tips of my tails. Just use a black sharpie to paint the tips, it makes the look nicer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troutguy 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2011 Margaretann, are they fished dry or like a nymph? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Margaretann 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2011 Good question. I have never used it to fish. I found anpattern like it online, but it did not have the recipe or how to fish it. I adjusted so that I could use the materials that I had. A friend told me that he has fought some with it, but I dont know how. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
