Flies are going out tomorrow. All flies are in except zip's. thank you for your patience. I plan to post all pics.

Still waiting on a few tyers.

I am waiting on someone's communication. Other than that, all other flies have been received.

In my opinion, unless it sinks or is a diver, color doesn't matter that much unless you are using black. I truly believe that you can catch a bass on any color bug - if it's a topwater popping bug. However, I do think your pattern is great. I do think about color and design too.

For this swap only (a few tyers are in the bluegill swap too)- I have received flies from Moushka. I will post pics of all the flies. I do recommend Hewlett Packard - good camera and HP Image Zone "photo Shop".

This is the update as of today. Flies were received from Threader, geozip, fly time, paymaster, old fat and srfrsean. I will post pictures of all the flies. I have been busy selling my home - or rather showing it. Work has me bogged down. Sorry for the delay. Let me know if you have any questions.

Paymaster your flies and Fly Time's flies are here. I did receive some others. I will update the list and pics soon!

Yup, the 14th. I did receive flies - I will update the list and post pics soon!

There is still room!

This is srfrsean's Collier's Warmwater SnoBall Beetle. geozip's flies are here and a good pic was posted on the previous page. You both tied well. I am excited about receiving more patterns. Do ya'll mind if I post your flies as I recieve them. geozip and sfrsean had already posted pics. I just wanted a larger image of this one.

This is srfrsean's Collier's Warmwater SnoBall Beetle.

 

 

 

 

Vices, try a Befus' Epoxy Scud - my guess is that if it's a nymph, it may catch a carp.

 

For a woolly worm, I would tie a 3 XL Sizes 4-10.

 

THE DUE DATE IS probably a month from when we can get at least 5 people to sign up. I'll give it a day or two more before closing it.

Carp feed on nymphs, terrestrials and plants too. It depends on what is in the water and the season. They feed on mollusks, snails, crawdads, damsel flies, dragon flies, beetles, etc.

 

Suggested patterns in Carp on the Fly are:

 

Clouser Swimming Nymph

Bead Head Prince Nymph

Woolly Bugger

Rubber Legged Hare's Ear Nymph

Barr's Damsel Fly

Barr's Dragon Fly Nymph

Bead Head Stonefly Nymph

Befus' Wiggle Bug

Barr's Bead Head Fup

Midge Larva

San Juan Worm

Griffith's Gnat

Callibeatis CDC Biot Mayfly

parachute emergers

spinners

hoppers

dandelion

thistle seed

mulberry fly

cottonwood seed

ants

spiders

crawdads - small 'dads

scuds

scuplin

minnow patterns

 

I have landed one on a pheasant tail nymph.

 

 

 

I will definitely attempt the pattern with just the foam - I'll have to sub a different color hackle. I've been busy tying up the McGinty for a swap. Your pattern is next. Thanks for all the info.

I've been carp hunting lately - got to thinking, I have never been involved in a carp swap. It would be very interesting to see which flies other folks use to land these beauties. :yahoo:

Send a S.A.S.E. with 11 flies.
