stony 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2006 Not yet on the due date. I have to wait for the pike swap to be completed before I can get this one started officially. I am going to imagine though that the due date will be in late november or early december.

majestyja 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2006 what kind of flies do you use to ice fish? :dunno: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stony 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2006 Mainly smaller #10 - #14. Here are some pictures of some I have tied. I also found these ones. Mainly, they are just simple weighted jigs. Glow in the dark features are a plus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bunny 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 I will give this a try, I am new to fly swaps, so feel free to explain things to me But we all have to start someplace. I will be tying on like this, except it will be green and the center part of body will glow in the dark. Bunny Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stony 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 Cool Bunny. The swaps are pretty easy. For example, if the people below were all that was in this swap, there would be a total of 6 swappers. That means you have to tie a total of 5 of the same flies. One for everybody in the swap, excluding yourself. After you finish tying them (before the deadline of course), you send them to the SwapMeister (the one organizing the swap). Include the flies, something on the hook that says who tied it, and a postage paid return envelope. Once the Swap Meister receives all of the flies from everybody, he will seperate them out so that everybody gets one each. Then the Swap Meister sends them all back out. It's fun, it's easy, and it's a great way to increase your fly collection and learn how other people tie at the same time. I hope this helps.

Big Todd 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2006 Stony, I'll get in on this one if you still have spots open. Never done any ice fishin' but I need to start now that I live in Montana. This will be an educational swap for me. TODD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stony 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2006 I actually thought there would be way more in this one but I was wrong. I thought we would also have way more in the egg/scud swap but again, I was wrong. As soon as the egg/scud swap is over, I will start this one back up "officially". I don't think I can host two swaps at a time. If you would like to go ahead and start tying, feel free and then I can PM you the addy when you are ready. We can make this one for January 5th as the deadline. If we get them in before, even better. Man, I really want to do this one. Ice jigs are fun and very easy to tie. Quick also. Stony Mako Green Acres Daup Worstcaster bunny Big Todd The key to the ice jigs is weight. It's not just a simple nymph. They need to be heavy in order for them to drop quickly.
