"Original" Pattern Swap

[riffleriversteelheadslayer 0]

ok I need to know if you all would prefer a bass pattern or a trout pattern I have one for each and I am sure you all will like it

RRSS,

I fish, and tie mostly for trout, so my preference would be for a bass pattern. I'm always short of those kings of flies. But I have a few of your ties, and know what ever you come up with will be just fine with me. I will go along with what the majority decision might be.

You won't be sorry, gdp4! I've been in swaps with a lot of these folks before, and there's a lot of talent in this swap!

14 flies each. You don't need to tie the 15th you.. that would be yourself. You'll get back 14 flies.

thread - greenish

Materials

butt - green caddis flash dub

peeking shell - peacock hurl

caddis leg things - indian saddle hackle, tied facing backward

thorax - 3 shades of tan-brown - olive flash dub shredded together

bead head

whip finshed

Looks like were going to go with 14 tiers. That means everyone needs to tie a lucky 13 flies. If any flies have already been mailed, I'll simply return the extra fly when they are sorted out!
