Mine was a Friday to ice the cake I always joke about it being on a Friday but it was really a Thursday. Lots of Friday's have come and gone though with no ill effects. Gillgetters be good.

Sandan 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2023 Lots have come and gone, some ill effects but nothing too bad. I'm gonna tie what I'll be calling the "Moosquirel". It's a concept fly. As in how did I ever conceive of this fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandan 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2023 No the wing is squirrel hair. Natural dun hackle. I'll give the hair a shot as the hackle. <edit> great idea for the hackle </edit> Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2023 This is just an update. True to his word flytire has sent me a group of flies for everyone to get some of his plus some "killer bug" yarn for everyone. This swap looks good before the group's flies have even gotten here. Thanks Norm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chugbug27 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2023 I keep looking at it, too... the peacock sword beard adds so much to an already nice tie. That's going in my streamer box, and if it doesn't catch some fish I'll be shocked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
