day5 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 I will submit 6 predators and either 6 bullies, 6 mackie bugs, or 6 hum bugs, havent decided yet. And yes matt I will just pull them out of my "stock" box. My bluegill box this year was a godsend. I am a flybox fanatic, but always on the outlook for the perfect box. My bluegill flies always present a unique problem, I have way to many different patterns. This year I took a plano box, the type with the compartments, and one open side that took up about a 1/3 of the box. I put flies with hackles and rubber legs that I did not want to get kinked up in the compartments. In the open side I put a piece of ripple foam. On that I stored my RFSN, humbugs, mackies, foxee clousers, etc. IT worked out fantastic. As far as pulling from my fly box for the swap, yeah I will be doing that, but only because I still have about 18 of each pattern that I tied for this spring left in my box. These flies will be unfished and definitely not have any mono still attached. :devil: (that was for day5) You mean sage8wt Freakin mono boy!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SullyTM 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2006 Sam...I would go for rubber legs...Maybe tarantu-legs, that style of rubber leg. Even though your JPN legs make the pattern look more spider-like you might want to consider some leg "movement." Just my 2 cents worth. Either way will work!

harleyhunter 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2006 Sound cool to me Thom! I finished tying the 6 Panfish Blasters last night. I used tan foam and orange rubber legs with dark sparkles in them. This one was doing well for me last sunday on the gills. Maybe this weekend I will start on the Whillock spiders. -Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
