Fly Tying

Recommended Posts

Egg Pattern Swap

Tie one each of two patterns for each participant besides yourself.

5 of each of your two patterns. Total is 10 flies.

 

Please include toe tag so we know who tied them.

Any kind of egg pattern: glo bug, sucker spawn, anything egg related, etc. Pre-made egg okay. You can post which patterns you'll be tying or keep it a secret. More than one tier tying the same fly is fine.

Please post when you are finished or send a private message for shipping address. Self addressed stamped envelope or reimburse for postage via paypal.

 

If you would like to send extras I will send you back some various egg patterns in return.

Yep, need a break from the Big Fatties. Have 5 of those done and over an hour per fly. I used egg flies a lot up north and will come up with a couple. Let's see, one will be a trimmed down BLOB, the other will be a bead wrapped in angel hair...maybe. Need to find an angel first tho.

Thanks everyone who has singed up so far.

 

I originally had this for US swappers only but decided to get rid of that. Swappers from any country are welcome.

Thanks you all for signing up. We have 6 people on the swap. So you just need to tie 5 of each of your two patterns. You can make some extras if you want and I'll send various egg patterns to you in return.

I'm ready for an addy too. Did the angel hair bead and the trimmed blob. The bead fly is deceptive since it doesn't look like much dry but when it gets wet it develops a "slimy" look and the red bead shows thru the hair. I leave a little tail material on but some trim it tight. Fished behind spawning salmon in the Michigan streams we'd nail many huge steelhead, also some coho and kings.
