****Warning****** Tying is near bout as addictive as fishing! Have fun!

Ok fellers, I tied up a bunch of the flies that you guys told me about...I fished them on the river in Gatlinburg TN and my boy and I pulled out a boatload of stocked rainbows...thanks for all the input!!

Hey.... I need an address as well!

Welcome...from one newbie to another I love Europe...I lived in Germany for several years and Flyfished all over Europe. Now I am back in the USA...but I sure miss the fishin there!

Ok I am in with a marabou nymph. I learned to tie it while I was in Germany. First you wrap a thread base Then you take a marabou feather and tie it in at the bend leaving the tip hanging over for a tail Then Wrap the feather up the shank to the eye Tie it off.... And presto you have a nice fuzzy nymph that is really quite effective

do we have a host yet??????????????????????????

How long does it take to tie such a fly?????

will do...................

What type and size hook do you use? What do you mean "to match hook size?"

Whew....Now that is a simple fly! Do you fish it as a dropper????

What a list of quick ties! Ok fellers...On your advice, I tied up a few green weenies and a few zebras and put them to the test yesterday. I fished them on the South Holston River and did quite well with the both of them! Now I have to get back to the vise and start tying some more on the list! Thanks!

That sounds like a good rule...3 swap...... Maybe another time...

ohh ok, Thanks for the signature info...

What do you have to do to host? Since this swap is the result of my question..maybe I could. Not sure if newbies are allowed thought.

I am in!

Hey Dfield I searched the database and found the sucker spawn.....Thanks! Also what is your green weenie rendition?

Ok ...Sounds awesome..... Can a newbie join a swap??? If so...I am in!

The fish are getting nervous.......... all these fly ideas are awesome... I checked out the green weenie....WOW..real simple...i am on my way to the vise! Ok...any more ideers

googling....................................................................

Ok...sorry for my ignorance...but I am not sure what a green weenie is...does anybody have a picture of one?

What is this fly? How do you tie it? I have never heard of it...

Hmmmmm...sounds good...I shall tie a few asap! Thanks!

Both would be great! The more the better!!!!!!!!! Bring'em on!!!!! I am ready to go fishing!

I really like the Essential Skills DVD...thought it was great...loved the patterns as well

Ok Gents, Newbie here has a question........ Been tying a while but I am not the worlds greatest tyer. Furthermore because of my hectic schedule I would rather spend my free time fishin' instead of tyin'. So I like simple flies that I can tie quick and easy. I am sure that you fellers have a vast repertoire of such trout morsels... So what is your most simple to tie...but yet most effective trout fly? Anxiously awaiting......... Bobby
