Just to let anyone know, if you don't get the mag I have a pile of old ones and would be glad to cut the pages out of one and send you the article on any fly pattern you'd be interested in. Heck, I'd send you the whole mag if you want in the swap but don't have a mag to get pattern from.

how would that work if nobody knows what flies are in what issues you have?

Flytire and Vicrider thanks for offering these up also have some that I could shoot over pictures in an email. Flytire do you want in the swap?

What the heck, count me in.

They did a feature on Renegades a year or so back.  I'll do those if I can't find anything else.pr

 

EDIT:  If I can get the proper hackle in time, I'll be doing the Little Yellow Stone from the article "Spring Patterns for the Rocky Mountains."

If I can't get it, can I tie a variant?  I usually use cream hackle for this fly.

Count Me In - Pattern TBD

Woke up this morning thinking it would be an easy task to choose a Fly Tyer pattern for this swap.  As ESPN’s commentator Lee Corso might say: “Not So Fast”, the choice is not easy.  I’ve got Fly Tyer issues back into the late 90s, although I recently sold about 27 issues to a collector.  Still there’s a big stack of mags to go through and I would guess at least a 1000 patterns.  After an initial review this Sunday morning over coffee, I narrowed it down to seven potential candidates.  The questions that remain are:

1. Do I have the right materials?
2. Can I actually replicate the Fly Tyer fly?
3. Is this a fly other swappers might find useful?

 

Here are the seven candidates so far:

Spring 2007 - Q’s Beach Bug

Summer 2009 - Bullet Head Trude Tube Fly

Spring 2019 - Platinum Pilchard

Summer 2019 - Charlie’s Gurgler

Autumn 2016 - Carrie Special

Spring 2013 - Hovering Damsel Nymph

Summer 2012 - Zip Shrimp

 

A decision will follow after I wade through dozens of material boxes to see what’s available.
