The First step was admitting you have a problem. The Second step is to Join more swaps, then you'll really know if your cured or not. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rich5665 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2009 riffleriversteelheadslayer - I received your flies on Friday. Sorry for not posting sooner, August has been a hectic month, I've begun to miss my fly desk and my hands have begun to shake. I'm seeing woolly Buggers dancing before my eyes when i fall asleep at night. I MUST TIE FLIES. I MUST TIE FLIES. I MUST TIE FLIES. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowlover 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2009 flies have been done for a while and just realized that the due date's coming up. need the addy swapmeister. With all the swaps between here and on other boards, I think my problem may be solved! oh and I decided to go with a little san juan variant I call the "fried worm". Basically it's a san juan worm tied on a swimming nymph hook and then singed ALL the way down the worm to make it skinnier, more like an aquatic worm we have here in our local tailwater. Also the harder fly means it gets more fish per fly before getting all chewed up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arkansas Mike 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2009 p.s Mickey Finns are in the mail... I was almost sad too see them go. :crying: gage Just tie some more, Gage. Chances are, they'll be better than the ones you sent. I look back on some of the flies I sent in to swaps just a month ago and wish I could get them back and send everyone the same pattern that I tie much much better now.

rich5665 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2009 Glad you got them! What do you think of them? They look a lot better than mine did the first time I tried to tie them up. You did a very good job of wrapping the flash on the hooks, I'm never able to get my wraps to look that neat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
professori 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2009 They went into the mail (Express post) toda, along with flies for 3 other swaps!! I guess I am still a swapaholic. It really doesn't matter, I can quit whenever I want. I can. I have in the past and I still can. Really! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
