Chefben4 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2013 Kevin.. Depends on timing for me! Im into the spey flies right now so its always an option! Couple comments/ideas though.. Keep the swap small. Spey's are expensive buggers. Blue Earred Pheasant (BEP) is basically $1 or more per hackle, hooks aren't cheap, and either is select bronze mallard.

Spey's are expensive buggers. Blue Earred Pheasant (BEP) is basically $1 or more per hackle, hooks aren't cheap, and either is select bronze mallard. Is the spey swap going to be done with strict traditional spey or are we talkin' spey style? I don't do traditional closed wing spey, I can tye Dee style, but the traditional closed wing spey is out of my grasp. I gotta tell you Kev, traditional spey style flies are a pretty advanced level undertaking. I've been tying them for over a year now and am still trying to figure them out and get that wing "just right" I do spey spiders, marabou spey's and a few other styles, and I'm fine with it and have been told my flies do catch chrome, even if I don't when I use them. But that's another story, after all they don't call Steelhead that fish of a thousand casts for nothin'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eastern fly 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2013 Ross I dont want to pin it to just one type. What im thinking is a spey style that way your open to what you like to tye. I also got another set in today from Hooked01. Another nice set of flies. I think everyone will like them. As far as a spey swap I havent thought of a date yet. I want to give everyone time to get any materials they may need. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Kekel 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2013 ok, so my flies aren't shipping till Friday. As I was putting my hooks on them last night I noticed that I missed a step on one of them and will need to tie another tonight to replace it. I guess I have one more for my box to fish.

eastern fly 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2013 I got 2 more set in this week, Lance Kekel and flytyinfreak. Both are really great ties. I have one for sure on the way. When I get that on I will check again on the other one. We may be one short because of health problems. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
