Hellgramite Swap

Recommended Posts

Bass absolutely love Hellgramites, so let's do a swap where we all tie up our favorite version of the Hellgramite. Due date will be March 15, 2012. First 12 are in. Everyone please tie up 12 flies. You will not get one of your own back. Please include toetags on your flies and include a self addressed stamped envelope with enough postage to cover the return of the flies. Your flies will be returned in whatever container you send them to me in. All swap rules apply.

Hellgramites have largely flown under my radar so I'll take up this challenge and tie Murray's Strymph for this swap if I may. I'm very curious to see what everybody else ties and I know of some bass ponds nearby to test them out on.

I have never tied a hellgramite so if you will have me I will give it my best shot!

 

Done! I figured this would be a good way for us to all challenge ourselves as there are not a ton of Helgie patterns out there.

 

Let me know if you come up with a particular pattern name.

Actually I searched the data base for a pattern and think I should bow out. They look extremely hard and I am not that great of a tyer, afraid wouldn't be fair to the others in the swap

Sherri,

 

Don't give up yet. Search the internet and see what you come up with. There are easier patterns out there. Let me know what you decide. If you need help, send me a PM.
