fly time 0 Report post Posted November 14, 2006 This is a display of flies from the ( wet fly swap with a twist) swap, that was hosted by Don Stracner a while back, this was by far the best swap I have ever participated in, and the dedication of the tyers in this one was unbelievable, these flies were worthy of only one thing, so I did it!! here they are!!!

Don Stracener 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2006 What can I say, I like it, a lot! :ban: :ban: Thanks for the swap comments, we had dedicated swappers on that one, several patterns each. :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don Stracener 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2006 A couple of things. 1. Gray Squirrel did not summit any flies in the Wet Swap. Signed up and said they where sent and lost in the mail. 2. The mounting of the flies with that little clip doesn't bring out the best features of the flies. A clear plastic post with the fly mounted about 1/2" out would make them look better. 3. The flies are and where nice ties, good looking flies. The picture, good as it might be does not do them justice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fly time 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2006 I agree Don, but at the time thats all I could come up with, as for the clear pegs, I believe you are referring to a shadow box, I have them in a Riker box, if you can give me some suggestions on how to better what I have Im all ears, I would like it to look as nice as possiable. And I frogot about graysquirrel, that will be changed as well, Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don Stracener 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2006 Was looking at displays and doing some random searches, I think I searched for round clear plastic rod. I'll get back to you on that one. Sent PM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick N 0 Report post Posted November 26, 2006 try heavy mono instead of plastic rods works great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
