Tandem Nymph Swap

I'll have mine sorted shortly fellas.

 

I've decided on a #10 hares ear nymph.... And the dropper will be #16... Not 100% sure what that one will be yet....

Mine hit the mail yesterday.

 

And, WOW, they made good time - I received them today! Nice looking tandem pairs.

 

Are there any others I should be watching for?

 

Jimboha!

I'll try to get mine out next week. Work's been crazy

 

No, worries. I'm not asking "Where are they?" I'm simply asking if any HAD been sent that I should receive soon.

 

I'll be starting on mine tonight...

 

Jimboha!

I'm almost all tied up, but I was wondering if anyone would be opposed to me switching flies. The ones I picked are kind of area specific (Crowley Lake, CA). I would like to tie something that will catch fish anywhere.... I was thinking a size #16 BH pheasant tail to a size #20-22 RS2 emerger??

 

Would that be OK with everyone?

All good guys.

 

Due date is 15 March... Your all good Freak, I hadn't put it up...

I'm halfway there, but am working on the second pattern at the moment.

Alrighty, I mailed mine out today, and the post office guy said they should arrive on Saturday. Thanks for hosting and co-hosting!

Yep, they came today! Got your flies - some more nice ones. I especially like the legs on your Jimmie Legs Stonefly - what material is that?

 

Also, my flies are done. Got addy? (lol.gif I crack myself up.)

 

 

Li'lDave,

It looks like this co-hosting is working - flies are coming here!

 

Jimboha!

Thank you kindly! It's called life flex, I pretty much get it specifically for the Jimmy Legs. I think the knots give it a lot of movement. I'm pretty confident in that pattern

Yeah, I do like the way they look, and especially that they can stand up and not droop. I'm working on a salmonfly pattern - those stonelfies are all body and legs - and my legs look OK, but not quite right. I'll look for some of that leg material (or is it leveraged from something else?)

 

Jimboha!

Here's my excuse. taken out of 2m of crystal clear water on the Great Barrier Reef while my brother and his mate were having a go at spear fishing.
