Henrik Thomsen (DK) 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2015 Joseph, thank you for the very beautiful fly wallet with flies. Really like the concept. Maybe I can convince you to make a special one to my dessign for tying tools to use at the stream. I will PM you one day. Regarding the red fly, is it the baitfish? Henrik yes the baitfish, thank you, I hope those flies are productive in your part of the world, as far as the tool kit no problem at all.The Baitfish doesn't have a name.They are however extremely easy to tie. Tail is gray squirrel and the body is baitfish emulator flash in light tan. The color is letraset pen in henna and black. Head is UV resin. Use scissors on the body to achieve the right silhouette.

utyer 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 Merry Christmas to our Secret Santa, and thanks again for the fun extras. Dave, the flies will get a serious test in the next few days. Thanks, they are just the thing for "winter" fishing on the flats here, even if it is still in the mid 80s. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

breambuster 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 Santa brought me a very nice set of flies and box from Jolly Red. He always ties great flies and the box is one that I will certainly enjoy using. Thanks, Red! And thanks, Vic, for hosting and doing all the extra & special things that are necessary to host the Secret Santa swap. Ya dun gud! Jolly Red, I'd like to ask you about the fly with the clipped deer hair head. Does it have a name? I really like that one, & I expect that the 'gills will also. Thanks for a super set of flies. I also like the box. Do you mind if I ask where you got it? I'd like to maybe get another one. Thanks BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RogueFlies 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2015 Man was Christmas morning a joy opening the boxes I got from Dubs and Joseph Russell, thank you guys for the great boxes and awesome flies, will definitely be putting them to good use! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2015 And while we're thanking people I'd like to thank all who participated. Great boxes this year, lots of great ties and flies and I hope I got ones very usable to the right people for the most part. I'd like to thank IMX for his flies and box which is the one I ended up with in the last minute shuffle and ties fit my panfishing hopes very well. If the reaper hasn't caught up with me by next year I'm looking forward to doing this again. Each year I get a little better at it and so has the swap.

Fletchfishes 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2015 Thank you and Merry Christmas to Rogueflies for the great set of flies and the very cool wooden fly box! I like all the flies, but the nymph with the CDC loop wing and beadhead are particularly appealing. I'm looking forward to putting them to test here in New England.
