  3. All flies sorted and mailed out. A few did not toe tag the flies and some did not have any or enough postage to get back to you. I took care of it and all flies are on their way. It turned out to be a great swap thanks gang! Oh yea Steve didn’t want his set back so you all got one of your flies back. He asked if someone would post pics. If one of you can do that, it would be great. My son nabbed my set and put them in his box Already so I don’t have a set to take pics of thanks again guys! I will post another round if your into it.

I’m headed out on a fishing run so I’m thinking the sets will be mailed out Saturday morning. Thanks again to all who joined up! If the interest is there I will keep posting the favorites series and run more if your diggin em. Pickin’

  8. Haha no doubt I need to step it up. My son is quickly surpassing me in the tying game! Not that I’m bummed about that but I have been tying a lot longer. It is nice to see the fly boxes filling up with our flies! That was a first for me tying on the jig hooks my apologies for not being so proficient at them. Great swap BB thanks a bunch for making it happen. Pickin’

  12. Hey Gang, I couldn’t resist going back to hit my local creek again knowing the conditions will only be this good for a few more weeks. We set an early start time at 7:00am to beat the ice chest brigade. That happened to be a great call as we were able to fish the pools the swimmers have been occupying. Within minutes we were into fish! Eager dry fly takes would be the order of the day. Typically a 7-8 inch Trout is nice size fish for this water however, today many larger models were found. Several at 10” which was a pleasant surprise. All dry flies all day. Crisp cool water, clean fish, light crowds and dry fly takes made for a very enjoyable day.
  13. Great report I can’t wait to go back! Thanks for sharing.

I just don’t want to loose any! I hope someone can post pics of the set. If not I can try. As always thanks BB for such a cool set of swaps you’ve been hosting. I now have a well stocked fly box!!

  19. Oh man that sounds fun! Glad you got out. I sure wish I had a place near me to do that with little pressure.
  20. It really is bazaar times we’re livin thru. I appreciate you sentiment about your heart going out, unfortunately I was furloughed indefinitely April 1st. Being a single income family of 5 is not a place I ever wanted to find myself in, but we will get through it. Luckily for me I have a local creek not too far that I’ve been able to get my fix from. I can tell you that LA’s air quality has never been better in my lifetime so that’s been a unexpected good thing that came out of this. Not sure it will last once the masses get back on the road, but for now it’s been beautiful! hey you stuck fish that’s what counts and now you just have more ammo for your return trips. I’m just bummed for you that you lost a fish to a break off like that. I know there are some real toads in that river. I’m impressed you even tyed on a matuka, desperate or not I’m sure I would have stuck with the small stuff as that’s all I used there. So good on ya for even giving it a go! I can’t wait to go back it was an awesome experience that I’d like to have again!!
  21. Oh man that sounds fun!! Nice lookin fish you got there! what kind of flies you tossin? Any surface stuff? Nice TR!!
