Kevin, if I count right and you let me in it should make the count for flies 8 with your own not coming back. I will do a lot better on a tie than the last one like this I did a year ago or so. No particular pattern picked but something in the general fat two hook versions.

I got to order all the stuff I needed today instead of Thursday so that makes me happy and I can't wait for them to get here. So I really can't wait to get started on them its gonna be fun.

Well Kev, I had decided I could handle a "Legs for Days" but see you beat me to it...SO, I won't guarantee it will be everything the ones in the videos are but I'm going to take a crack at the "Hog Snare". Double articulation and lots of fluff. Can't believe they'd actually throw this in trout water but I suppose if you wanted to scare everything under 3#s out of the pool and concentrate on 5# plus this would be the one to do it with.

My stuff I ordered will be here on Saturday can't wait .

Yeah, would love to start but I had to do a big order too. Didn't feel like paying for expedited shipping so I can wait it out and concentrate on them when the supplies get here. Figure I ordered enough stuff to tie a half dozen before I actually start to tie the ones for the swap.

I'm doing a variation. Homemade shanks with a stinger. I have had a lot of short strikers in the past so I like the stinger hook. So mine are like a intruder style. My shanks are made from floral wire.

Her is my entry.

Got all my stuff in gonna start tomorrow

Got the hooks and articulating links so I'm going to go for a respectable version of the Hog Snare. Other than the tie taking about as long as a dozen of most flies per fly it really doesn't look like all that hard a tie. Lots of steps but all basic. Should be quite an active fly when finished and push plenty of water. If you use it where they're toothy critters I'd use a wire lead. I've had enough bass baits bit off over the years from those things.

I haven't tied that fly yet so it will be good to get it.
