Bass Swap

Recommended Posts

Everyone, I have updated the original post with my address so you can send the flies when you are finished. If you have already put yours in the mail, can you please update me by responding here? I want to update the original post with who has flies in the mail. Thanks!

OK tied these last night. I did not like my first ties too much of a Striper only fly. Most of you probably mean Large or Smallmouth when you say bass. These are on 1/0 Stinger hooks. They will go in mail this afternoon.

Thank you. The body is Mylar tubing that is bunched to give a wider body. It will bend when a fish bites. It is real shiny silver. If you striper fish they look like small herring or shiner. They are about 3 or 4 inches long. The hackle is a grizzly hackle.

Joman when you get your fly copy it on a longer shank hook. Don't put a grizzly hackle on the head. Leave room and tie a white deer hair Muddler type head. fish with a weight or weighted line. Makes a great Mullet imitation for saltwater or a Creek Chub for freshwater.

Troutguy, your flies arrived today!

 

Everyone else, just an FYI, there are 10 days remaining until this swap is due. Where do those of you who have not sent in your flies stand? Keep in mind they are due in my hands by the 14th, not just in the mail.
