DavidHE 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2014 I'll step back and be the alternate. Hate to see sjo miss out on 4th consecutive year due to health keeping him down a few days. My schedule has become very busy since joining this swap, haven't been giving it the amount of thought I intended. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockworm 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2014 Thanks David That is a very kind offer. I am sure it will cheer Sjo up. Tell you what- I will slide you down to the alternate position and if the other swappers are happy with 13 you can jump in if you can find the time.

rockworm 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2014 Since we have two members who have finished their flies it may not be possible to expand our group to 13. Netabrookie may have mailed his dozen a couple of days ago and Horseshoes' are ready to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netabrookie 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2014 My flies are still laying on my desk and I don't have a problem with adding another one to the box. I hope that Sjo gets to feeling better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bertgwen 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2014 I submit the following: Name: Deep Fry'ed Turkey (deep as in I'll probably add some weight to it) Hook: 10 3x long streamer/wet fly Tail: Turkey body feather Body: reddish brown dubbing Underwing: white calf (or similar) Overwing: Brown soft hackle Hackle: Grizzly I have turkey on the brain, in the last couple of years it has become my favorite hunting season, and my 10yo daughter bagged her first bird Saturday morning. I had an abundant supply of turkey feathers before the weekend, I now have a few more... robert Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horseshoes is having problems posting so she asked me to post the following: Just catching up on the previous posts and my Package is not taped up yet so if you want another fly put in let me know by morning.

rockworm 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 Congratulations to your daughter! Did she cook the beast as well? (Not being sexist here. I am the cook in our family and I should think wild turkey would provide a mighty challenge to any chef.) Your pattern looks very good. Sounds like it could be an Atlantic salmon fly. I see we are continuing the food motif! Professori: I can't wait to see what you do with this one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockworm 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2014 Thank you Sharon. If its not a problem to tye up one more, please do send an extra. If everyone agrees, we can be the Evo Thirteen. If not, I will send the extras back to their makers. We are still waiting to hear from half of our swappers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
