Bugger swap #3

Recommended Posts

I'm in ... Maybe this will get me out of the tier block I'm currently in ...

Having seen the varied high quality work you've sent in over the last few years I don't picture you with a tiers block. Will look forward to your ties as usual.

I found it surprising as well, I'm usually hit more with lazy tier syndrome, especially with 2 little kids and the knife making.

Thanks for the complement.. Here lately everything I have tied has become trash This is the last thing I have tied and it Took me forever to do. It was a themed display fly and I still don't like it ... I have done better...

Since I know most of the buggers will be in size 10 and bigger I tied my dozen on size 20. Well, in full disclosure a size 20 jig hook which is more like a 14. Can't see a bugger on a true size 20 but just might have to try. My three "specials" I will go in the opposite direction, just not sure what to do with them.

Nice vicrider, variety is always good I'll be sure to give mine a try, I will say I'm always impressed with the amount of variety we get from this swap.

I think that’s called a “Griffin’s Gnat”
