Duane:

The damsels will be in the mail tomorrow. I have been tying a bunch of these in different patterns for the last month. I have been looking a Schwiebert's "Nymphs Vol II" and slimming down some of the normal damsel recipes. The one for this swap is a swimmer. It should be great near some rushes or just for searching. And I think it will work in heavily fished waters as well.

I also added a small selection of things that work up here in stillwaters early in the season for the swapmeister.

 

I hope you enjoy.

Postman delivered a pile of billsshame.gif today and two packages full of killer flies.gigglesmile.gif

 

Deserttrout sent some tasty looking Chili Trollsbandit.gif and T5F shipped a pile of Olive Ray Charlesdancing1.gif!!

 

Six down and six to go. Hopefully tomorrow's mail will be bulging with packages. Likely, some will arrive next week. Unless someone has a strong objection, I'll wait to sort and mail until the end of the week. 352nmsp.gif

Mine went in the mail on Thursday last week.

 

Should be there any day now.

 

BTW, My flies are VERY simple to tie, 1 material that is it, but it is one of the best lake patterns I have used in years. If the fish are being a little picky or temperamental, tie this on and see what happens.

 

Here is a pic of it. I did not use a bead in the pattern I sent because I tied them on a swimming Nymph hook and the bead would not pass the corner.
