  1. :) LMAO Would you believe that I just got my flies today, 4-26. I see that the mail date on the package was 3-23 just like you said. Envelope looks like it's been tarred and feathered and was open on the end but the Altoids tin was still in there with some amazing flies. I'm so embarassed at my meager contribution to this swap. You guys are awesome. Fry Flier, thanks for hosting.

  2. Hey guys, just tried my first attempt at a hair bug tonight. Believe it or not, I think I actually might fish it smile.gif However, in fairness to you guys, I think my swap fly will be a Clouser Minnow that has turned into my go-to LM Bass fly. I have caught (and lost) some pretty nice ones on it.

  3. Just got back from the post office. Mine are in the mail. I went ahead and tied one more to make 14 but it has a different colored tail. I hope they look ok.

    Tight Lines,

    PS. Feel free to keep any extras (should there be any), Mr. Swapmeister. Thanks for hosting.


  4. That's fine with me, bassgitter. 13 gurgler's will be on the way by Fri. Just joined the board so I didn't want to get a bad name to start with by dropping from one. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's flies and I hope that mine look ok.

  5. Sounds good to wait a few days. I just needed to get them done as I start back to work next week, vacation is over sad.gif Anyhow, I used tan 2mm closed cell foam, grizzly hackle and red Superhair for the tail. Ran out of the Superhair. I'm not sure that I tied it exactly like Gartside, kinda hybridized it with another pattern I have seen. I hope they look ok.

  6. Hey bassgitter,

    Is this one gonna make?? I'm tying up a few gurglers right now. I'll be happy to send a few for you and flyfisher if you like. They are an easy tie but I don't see much point in tying up 15. Let me know.

    Thanks,

    bd

     

    PS. Actually, I went ahead and tied 13 before I ran out of the material I was using for the tail. I could easily tie a couple more but the tail will be a different color. I'd also be happy to drop from this one and join your panfish swap. I tied these on a size 4 but I have seen big bluegills clobber them. It is up to you, my friend.

    Tight lines,
