Stacked hair swap - let's bite off more than we can chew

Recommended Posts

Ok! I'm done tying! What know? Address? Let me know what to do? Do you want euros? It's no drama for me to get the old lady to send you 15dollars in a blank card, separate! She lives in Oberon N.S.W! Could be enough change for you to get a scooner? Havn't used that word in a while! :-)

Jason.

 

Yours arrived today.

 

that is some mighty fine packing / stacking.

 

Once again it looks like I'll be left feeling wanting at the end of this... atleast I've plenty of time to retry if need be.

Sorry Kevin, We tend to shorten everyone's name here... To the extent that if your name is one syllable we'll add another.....

Everybody's ahead of me again. And I'm the one with the most time but also lots of swaps going both out and coming in. For this one I did a pretty easy tie and will be sending them soon but plan to do a second version slightly larger with dark turkey, red squirrel and dark hair. Did one and packing is easier on the bigger one than was on this one, or these being my first attempt at packing might be getting a little better. I know there are going to be some who do postcard picture work but I'll tackle poppers or sliders after I get my feet wet on these. Anyway, Muddlers have produced a lot of trout in lakes for me years back.

So while I was doing these I kept looking at them before messing them up with hair and decided to go from a 2x hook to a 1x and run the fly right to the eye without hair. Actually think it came up pretty good looking wet fly in the Bergman style.

And here is the larger, darker version

Excellent, i was getting a bit worried, 2 or 3weeks in the post! I've noticed over the years sending stuff to my parents it's either there the same week or 2 or 3weeks, seems like only 2 mail flights a month or something! What is (WOOT)? Must be some Qld word i don't know?! I hope the swap goes well & quick? My summer holidays start week 30 & would love to take atleast the salmon bomber & Goddard caddis with me to north Lapland when i leave straight away! Thanx!
