eastern fly 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2016 I'm ok without the size restriction but for sure no articulated buggers.I have seen these before and that's not what this is about. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eastern fly 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2016 I have an idea I would like to add to the swap. Let me know what you think. Not every day are perfect water conditions so how about splitting up the flies? Half for clean water and the rest for dirty water. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2016 How about one of each from each tier? You're pushing it out to March 1st should be lots of time and a season's worth of flies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eastern fly 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2016 My idea was if we have 12 flies do 6 for clean the rest for dirty. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2016 It doesn't work in my feeble mind. Kevin. We never get 2 flies from same tier so how do we get a bright and dirty from each tier. Seems like if you take an even number and half tie all theirs dark and half tie all theirs bright it would then sort out so each of us get half and half and we get ONE fly from each tire. yes?

I am on if there's room vicente your in. vic I can mix them up. If someone sends in a random set they would still need to be under the set up.

Either way sounds like it will work fine, but I think this is a good idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eastern fly 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2016 I'm out of the norm for this one. For hooks I like 2 different ones. Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp Worm Hook's and Ownen Straight Worm Wide Gap hook's. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2016 I like the good old stand by most of the video tiers use, the B10S, and ebay has them at reasonable prices. The Predator hook from Partridge is a longer hook and to me is too long for articulated, though the hooks Kevin mentions are probably as long or longer. Kevin, as you are the one who brought up clean and dirty water, I could use some help on this. My thinking for years was darker for dark water, lighter for clearer water. Could you list groups of colors you see as for dirty flies and for clean flies? Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flies that give more silhouette. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carpflyguy 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2016 So Kevin, would 2 separate patterns be preferable for this, or 1 pattern, but split between 2 colors? For the clean vs dirty water? Planning on doing a game changer, which can work both, but better in certain colors for certain water quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
josephcsylvia 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2016 I need a little clarification on how many flies we are tying. Are we tying one of each for each tyer? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
