13 Flies Total-PM me when you are all done so I can get you the addy.

any suggestions will be greatly appreciated...

Great Flies everyone! Great Job Geo!

Smallies beware!

I use a simple long swing arm lamp with a GE true color bulb. Cost about $25 including the bulbs and works great. I'm able spotlight it right on my vise and move it out of the way when I don't need it. Works awesome and not near the investment.

great swap everyone!!! Great Host! best of luck with the flies

I've recently bought some UV Ice Dubbing and some UV krystal Flash, I got them because they looked sweet. Is there anything that this "UV" is supposed to do that normal colors don't?

I like using fox and coyote tails for clousers. But also UltraHair synthetics are great and make some awesome clousers. Another synthetic that works well is neer-hair. I carry them in all sizes and all materials. One of my top producing flies.

I'm well stocked on some flies...but I can always use more. You know how you get those fly ideas burning in your head...those never go away regardless of deason...infact I get more ideas this time of year than ever. I might not tie as frequently, but I still tie...and there are always those rainy days..

This swap is not going to go through....not enough interest...sorry

Wow....nice job everyone......looks great!

ok...now that this swap is done...anyone want to join up on my carp swap?

End of day 4/14 we will cut of new participants.....2 patterns...

I was fishing with a buddy this weekend and he told me Targus were made by Tiemco. And if you look at the model numbers they are the same. I wonder what is the real difference between them?

I've used as many different kinds of fly tying hooks as I can. All have thier pluses and minuses. I really like Dai-Riki hooks they are very good quality and are reasonably priced. But one of thier hooks (#135) that I tie alot of salmon and steelhead flies seems to break right at the bend of the hook. Mustads are like rocks but at a dull as a door knobs, and Tiemco's I would need to sell my first born to stock as many hooks as I have on my bench. Just curious as to what you use and what issues you have had with particular hooks.

Lets wait a few more days and see if we can get a few more people involved. If we go with what we have would everone be up for submitting 2 patterns?

Those little foxee clousers are killer little craw's.

News like this makes my day.....

C'mon guys....there has to be more interest ....

Hey C&R......you should join up in the 'golden bones" carp swap!

Alright! 3 On board... 9 to go! Or we will just see what we get....

As of 4/11

Baseball is the only "sport" more boring than Nascar

I agree...but it is a great indicator that the hats and gloves can be put away for the year.

For me when in doubt of what fly to use for smallies I choose a clouser. They love'em!
