Soft Hackle Swap

[BigDaddyHub 0]

During my "down time" in recent weeks, I have been reading about traditional wet flies and soft hackles. Grew up fishing soft hackles for pellet head stockers and the gills, and have really become obsessed with these flies lately...SO, how about a soft hackle swap....Any style, as long as the flie is a size 10 or smaller. I know you hard core trout guys want to jump in on this one!! This waould also be a great swap for our beginners and novices! I encourage any positive responses!

 

This is the line up so far:

 

 

 

1. Big Daddy Hub - Purple and Pheasant V- Rib Sz 10 --Done

2. Chase Creek REC'D

3. Dart--MAggot Fly Soft Hackle Sz 10

Ill tie Stewart's Black Spider, a pattern that dates back to the 1850's.

that's one of the very few wet hackles I CAN identify! Will be a great fly for this swap!

Okay, so call a fly swapping addict, I'm in. Brown Hackle Peacock size TBD.

[BigDaddyHub 0]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hyst: :hyst:

 

 

Okay, 12 Step, you're in!!

 

 

let's recap:

 

1. Big Daddy Hub

2. Chase Creek

3. Dart

4. Smallie Fanatic

5. Rich "12 step" 5665

 

I think Rich is taking advantage of his position as scoutmaster! Rich, this ain't Taiwan and you ain't Umpqua! Quit using those kids on your fly tying assembly lines! Hope you're paying them more than 8 cents a fly!! LOL

 

 

We're getting there.....

[Chase Creek 0]

Why didn't I think of that!!!! I'm an Ass't Scoutmaster, Crew Advisor, Fly Fishing Merit Badge Counselor, and some other stuff. I could be in 10-12 swaps a month, easy! I usually just borrow money from the Scouts, but this has real potential.

you dirty, rotten, maniacal scoundrel!! I like the way you think...I know a bunch of Webalos that are idle right now and need a good "project"

 

 

We'll leave the sign up open on this for a day or two, then close it...15 tiers would be great, so PM your buddies!
