cphubert and Swap Meister. Good to have a Mrs. Simpson still in swap but I'm officially out then. Thanks for running swap but right now timing is bad for me.

If anyone drops out, I would fill in for them. 
 

You may have Fishing Bob text or call me if you have a tier emergency. I only need a day to get them out. 

Can I put you on speed dial???? I'm still digging through my stuff.

OK, I missed the Vicrider post.

Yetavon, we still have to connect to fish.

DarrellP, thanks. I would love to.

General Practitioner variant.  Developed by Sir Esmond Drury..  They are all coming out a little different.  This is stretching me as a tier.

If you don't stretch you'll never grow!

My ties are in the mail tomorrow.  The return postage will come in a separate cover.  I sealed the flies in before I put the return postage on - and you know how new to to this swap thing I am!! :) 

My patterns to follow.

Thanks for hosting the swap!  I always loved this type swap!

Fly patterns:

Chile Pepper

Hook - 4 -5 XL streamer (original calls for ring eye), size 4

Thread - Fl. Fire Orange (can substitute Fl. Red)

Tail/Body - yellow Golden Pheasant (GP) rump feathers - 1 for the tail and 3 matched pairs for the body

Head - red Golden Pheasant shoulder/covert feathers - 1 matched pair

This is tied as a New Zealand Killer-style pattern.  Best fished late summer/fall as an immature carp.

----------------

Golden P Blond

Hook - 3 XL streamer hook, size 8

Thread - red

Tail - yellow GP rump feather

Body - red wool yarn with red tinsel

Wing - yellow GP rump feather under a GP crest feather

This is my version of a Brooks Blond-style pattern using the red/yellow Mickey Finn color combo.  This pattern was originally tied in Chile (hence the "e" and not an "i" in it's name) as a salt water/striped bass pattern and has inspired such patterns as the Clouser Minnow, Lefty's Deceiver, and the Surf Candy.

---------------

Hen Ringneck Pheasant Bugger

Hook - 4 XL streamer hook, size 6

Thread - tan

Tail - marabou feather from the rump of the hen peasant

Flash - 3 strands of black Flash-a-bou (#6912) tied in after the first body feather wrap AND 4 strands of gold Flash-a-bou (#6992) at the mid-point of the hook shank

Body - striped feathers from the flank of the hen pheasant

Another of my interpretations inspired by McFlyLures Brahma Bugger pattern.  Besides I figured since this swap is being held in March (Women's History Month) we needed at least a female touch!
