TwoFour Swap ----------- SWAP IS FULL.............

 

Thought I would check to see if you guys are up for a swap. Changing it up to make the postage worthwhile and give us lots of time. You can do 4 different types of one group of flies ex: 4 different caddis's or you can do 4 different groups ex: wet dry, dry, scuds, streamers. One dry group and 3 different scuds, you get the idea. Anything goes.

hmmm...

 

 

You know I'm a salty!!

 

Anyhoo..

 

I'm going to do two nymphs, a streamer and a little terrestrial of some sort

[rockworm 0]

I'm certainly in! Give me a few days to consider my flies.

[Horseshoes 0]

Rockworm not a problem.

[vicrider 0]

I think for starters I'll go with a Loch/Lough fly since there's so many neat ones in there proved by the recent swap. Then a soft hackle of course. And nobody ever has enough Classic dries. Top that off with a streamer and the mix is complete.

I'm not tying a bird!!

I've been having some success with fore and aft patterns so I will be tying some of those.

A tenkara rod?

A samurai sword?

?

That nice, what length is it when collapsed and expanded?

[vicrider 0]

I used to fish so many narrow bubbly creeks up in northern WI and MN for brookies that I wish I'd have had Tenkara then. It would have been perfect. Very seldom did I make a cast of more than 10' plus the leader and much of it was just length of rod and dapping behind rocks and roots. Tenkara would have been fun and I often thought of digging an old bamboo pole out of the folks attic in the garage to use. Poor man's Tenkara.

I'll go for a classic wet, an upving dry (a la Halford), an old style (Skues or Sayers) nymph and a "no vise" tied spider (on a blind eye hook).

 

Like to challenge myself a bit while being in the process of studying the old classics and the techniques. ;-)

 

Looking much forward to do these sets.
