Classic Dry Fly Trout Swap

[troutguy 0]

If you do RFMD's , tie the tail first, tie the body and tie off the fly.Trim the body to size. Tie all your flies to this point. Next go back and add wings and hackle to all flies. It is easier to tie this fly in steps.

I've landed on a fly to tie for this swap. How about a leadwing coachman dry, quill wings

I decided on an Edward Hewitt pattern, the Dun Bivisible. I had never seen this particular fly before, but think it has to be a fish getter.

Very cool

Flies are in the mail to you.

What are you using for the body on your version Fishin'Bob. I find them tied with a couple of different dubbings. Wonder if that wouldn't be good with herl underneath also?

I think you are thinking of a different fly. The one I tied is from the early 1900's by Edward Hewett. It is from the book "The Founding Flies".

Just to telle everybody that I'm alive and soon to start tying the flies.
Will be size 12 Rat Faced McDougals in an Olive variant with either white or gray calftail wing.

 

Hope it is ok?

I received flies from Bob Nelson and Joe Herndon today.

tg, can you maybe edit front page to let us know whose flies have found there way to you. I don't want to be last at the deadline and have had one set done for a long time but just finished an ordeal of tying Hog Snares for a swap and now hope to have time to add a fly. No guarantee but with Snares behind me at 45 minutes apiece x 15 my time is freed up a little more.
