Michigan Trout Guy 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2005 I just finished my flies today. I decided to try some variants, and considering the time of year, I tried to imitate stonefly colors. I hadn't had a whole lot of experience with variants, so I'm hoping I got the hackle sizes right. Also, the ribbing on a few of them floated around on me, but I think they should still do the job. Hope you guys like em. They should go out on Monday. Cheers, Brandon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uncletube 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 Mine are in the mail in the morning ( Wednsday). Sorry for the late mailing . I did a traditional Fan winged royal coachman in a size 14. My oringinal pattern for this swap was going to be the Easy Peasy USD BWO . I wasn't happy with the results , so, I opted for my favorite dry . Again I apologize.

Michigan Trout Guy 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2005 OOOOOOOHHH, I can't WAIT! I'm bouncing off the freakin walls over here! Mostly because I drank about a liter of Mountain Dew today, but also because this will be the first fly swap I have completed. Can't wait to see those pics tt, and thanks a bunch for organizing this whole thing. Maybe I will send you a box of cookies for the effort! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
