Mine are done! I will mail them this week!

Ok so I have never tied anything for bass before (even though my grandfather has a pond full of bass on his property). So I did some digging and found in this months issue of Fly Tyer a fly that looked good to me. Its called Murray's Dying Chub. I had to modify it a bit for materials that I had available but here it is. I am tying it in size 6. I hope it is acceptable! ---Joe

Very nice!

I agree also, I tried them and wont go back.

God this made me laugh for a few minutes.....im still laughing.

I will take the last spot. Pattern tbd. Thanks!

I started with one and moved on to a rotary. I liked the Anvil. Well built and you can't beat the price.

Anything for trout and I would be in! Maybe an emerger swap?

Congrats! Nice flys.

I use J Stockard, especially since they are from right here in CT (I try to support local businesses when I can). I also like Feather Craft, www.feather-craft.com Ill have to look at some of the other places you all have mentioned.

I agree, I use a dubbing loop for my wet flys and nymphs. I use a little bit (a little bit is key) of wax and twist the dubbing around the thread for my dry flys and emergers. The loop gives me a nice buggy body, twisting the dubbing gets me a nice smooth body.

I have never used Airflo, but that is a nice vest.

Yeah what happened here?

Mine are done! Will be in the mail this week. ---Joe

My ant is going to be size 12. ---Joe

Thanks for hosting polar bear. This is my first swap im looking forward to it!

Im in with a Two Tone CDC Ant. Thanks! ---Joe

Thanks Guys, That is my section of the house, in the basement. It is finished. What you dont see is there is a fireplace just to my right (as I am standing taking the picture) and a couch to my left. Its nice to have my own little place in the house. Cell phone off, fire crackling, quiet fly tying time.

I would like to join a swap like that too.

Hi everyone! I am working on Wolly Buggers at the moment. Lost most of mine last summer in the trees so its time to stock up. Im moving on to emergers next!

Hi everyone! I live in CT and started fly fishing about 5 years ago. I started tying about 3 years ago and love it. It is my stress relief from a very stressful job. I look forward to talking with everyone on here. ---Joe
