Got mine yesterday. A good batch of bugs. Thanks Robert for hosting. Weneed to do this again.

Frank aka student4evr

Breambuster: I will be doing these starting tonight. So Addy Please.

Frank aka Student4evr

Mike: Addy Please.

I got carried away and tied about 20 of the little buggers so there will be a little extra some thing in your stocking.

Frank

deserttrout:

Sure go ahead. The more the merrier. Let's give it until the end of the week and then we can decide what we want to do. Next week I will be heading to BC Canada for a club outing so I won't be checking on this swap until I get mack in 2 weeks.

Frank

Troutnabout: That works for me. I'd even be willing to work it out so we get about a dozen flies each. We have 4 in right now so if we each did three.....

Frank :dunno: :dunno:

Rodger that you can't have enough Scuds. I'm in

Jim:

Mine hit the mail today. :dunno:

Desertrout:

Given that they are beating down the doors, I don't have a problem with extending this out to the 30th.

If we don't get more takers what would you guys think about doing 2 patterns each?

I thought there would be a lot of interest but I guess we are a little ahead of the curve on this material. That's too bad because once you get familiar with this, it provides excellent flotation

and lasts forever.

airedale:

For this swap I am looking for uses of the material Show Shoe Hare. I am not really concerned with what pattern you tie. I am just interested in finding out ways to use it.

Here are a couple of places to go to find out more information on the material (The best stuff is from the bottom of hare's feet in the center.).

As far as being too young, you have to get started some time and the sooner the better. I belong to a club here in Bellingham, Washington; and one of the guys I hang out with started fly tying when he was 8. We just celebrated his 70th birthday. For our club outings he ties a box of flies for the location. Here are some of his efforts.

Some good links are the following:

I believe you have to start somewhere, so go for it!!!

That's why I picked my username.

Eastern:

This stuff FLOATS!! So, the type of fly is up to you. But like I said, it works for emergers or drys. I really like it because it won't soak up water like CDC and it is much more durable as well.

I will be tying a march brown emerger.

Frank (aka: student4evr)

This is a great material for emergers and dry's. It will float for a long time and it doesn't require the care you have to give CDC. The swap is limited to the first 15 tiers plus me. So tie 15and send them on their way. :thumbup: :yahoo:

Sorry Fred:

I didn't look at the thread, I was looking for a PM. :dunno: I am out helping my Mom celebrate her 80th over the weekend. SO, I will get these out as soon as I get back on Tuesday.

Frank (student4evr)

Mine are done and they will hit the mail tomorrow.

I have attached a couple of views.

Dan:

Great to hear about you father. Yes we are pulling for him.

Frank

Breambuster:

I do a couple of rabbit flies that are a little different. The fish on my avatar fell for one of them. The intriguing

part is reverse-palmering in the crosscut rabbit. I usually do it with 2 bobbins and some material stops. The fly really pulses when you strip it. it should be good for a number of species.

I will do the one that took the big silver, its called the lawyer. A charter skipper and a friend of mine named it after I tried to describe the fly as a "reverse punk bunny egg sucking leach" . I do a bigger version I call the Judge. Apologies to all you out there in the legal profession.
