Trout Life Cycle Swap

[Dezod 0]

I've been thinking about this swap for a while. Beings I am done with the flies for the other 2 swaps I was in I thought I'd put another one together.

 

How do you attack an entire hatch throughtout the day?

 

Here's how it works. You tie 5 sets of 4 life cycle flies, that's 20 total flies. If I were to tie a mayfly life cycle I would include my:

 

NYMPH, EMERGER, DUN and SPINNER

 

People might use more than 4 flies for their hatch, but lets keep it at 4 flies in the "life cycle."

 

First 5 with I'm in are in. Due Date November 30 or maybe later. You will not get a set of your own flies back.

 

1.Cencafly- Sulpher

2.Bend Trout Bum- Midge

3.Lostlure- Caddis

4.Student4ever- Green Drake

5.wernstriumph- Red Quill

SM. Dezod- BWO or PMD

nevermind, just found out I have other things going on at the same time.

That's right Cencafly 5 of each. If you were doing a caddis it might be larva, pupa, emerger, adult. here in Colorado there are a lot of midge hatches, the bugs are small, but people fish larva, emerger, and adult stages maybe a cluster fly. I am interested to see how people go to the water when drakes are hatching, or Red quills, or BWO or caddis' whatever is hatching because a person probably wouldn't fish a dry all day.

Great to have you in on this Cencafly.

I'm in with the Midge! It's getting to be that cold time of year again and these little guys will dominate most of the water in my neck of the woods.

I added you, glad to have you. I was going to do a caddis if no one else did, but I am glad you jumped in. I will probably do a BWO of some kind. I hope somebody jumps in with a green drake. As the time for teeny tiny flies approaches it would be nice to fantasize about some BIG mayflies .

Would there be any more interest in this swap if there was a later due date? I guess the date I posted is pretty close to Thanksgiving. If you would be interested with a later due date, please let me know what timeframe would be better.

Thanks for joining Frank... and thanks for going BIG with the green Drakes. Were just waiting for 1 more.

 

Frank by later do you mean just before Christmas or just after. Please everyone who is in the swap let me know what would be the best time for a due date.

 

Looking forward to the swap.
