vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2015 Since the swap is sliding further and further back in the month I better get this posted so we make sure everyone is on same page. The theme for this month is anything with orange in it. Partridge and orange would be a nice one, as would a Virginia Wullf. Any theme you'd like to tie as long as orange is predominant in color pattern. I did a weave pattern myself with orange and yellow embroidery threads. Looks fishable but would look good stuck on my hat. Vicrider..................ready 1. Add147..............received 2. Joseph Russell..received 3. Jolly Red............received 4.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2015 And in today's mail was a cool little panfish fly by Jolly Red. It is an interesting two color design that I haven't seen before. You'll see what I mean when you get these later. Jolly Red, do have any weight under those? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jolly Red 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2015 These are meant to be slow sinkers, so they are unweighted. They are called "Humbugs", and i found the pattern on the "Warm Water Fly Tyier" site. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2015 By the way, I should mention. Part of the reason they suggest not running two swaps at the same time. I held back Border Collies from last month's sendout because I thought he was in Herl and Floss Swap. He wasn't. I'll include them in the October flies.

kennebec12 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2015 Flies should be finished and in the mail on the 19th or 20th. Working on some orange stimulators. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netabrookie 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2015 Vicrider, I plan on mailing my flies in the morning. They have been ready for a while but that annoying work thing kept getting in the way of my trip to the post office. Since kennebec12 is working on stimulators and I tied stimulators also you will have a couple different sets coming in. I also tied some soft hackles but I didn't tie any more Virginia Wulffs.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2015 Netabrookie has come through with great double set for everyone and some great extras. Others should be in soon, RIGHT? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michaelray 0 Report post Posted October 24, 2015 Yep. Postage is printed, I missed the Post Office this morning since my little down does whatever they want I guess, but they'll be in the mail first thing Monday. Hopefully I don't hold anyone up!

Crackleback 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2015 Mailed my orange tag peacock soft hackles this morning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2015 Crackleback, funny how great minds think alike. (yeah...right) Anyway, kicking around tying a second fly to go with my Great Pumpkin woven flies I tied an orange tag, peacock collared soft hackle last night. Since you already have a set coming that would probably put mine to shame I'll pass on second fly or look for something else to do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
michaelray 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2015 I have an order of steelhead flies to finish up tonight, but if I have time, I have another pattern I might tie up as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
