Cabin fever Hendrickson swap

Recommended Posts

I have light Hendrickson wet flies done and I think Milty is done too. We will send both sets in together. I have your address from a previous swap.

OSD,

 

I need an address to send these babies to.

If you already sent it, sorry I can't find it.

 

 

I tied a #14 Dark Henderickson Swimming Nymph (unweighted)

 

How do I know they are swimming? If you look close you will notice little tiny swim trunks. Man, I have entered too many fly swaps.

I hate this swap!!! I've never been so bummed by tying one simple fly!!! My hat goes off to you guys that can tie great looking dries. They are in teh mail, but look like s**t. Sorry for the crap flies.

No problem Art

 

It wouldn't be the first time I took a razor blade to a fly, the hook is always good for another fly. Sorry bud, just pulling your chain.

 

Honestly, I had more difficulty with this swap as well. I don't know why, but it was difficult to be creative. I guess because the Hendrickson is such a benchmark pattern with few unique differences in design.

 

Dropped mine in the mail today as well. But I feel the same as Art, a nice fly but nothing overwhelming.

 

The good thing, trout won't care.

I hope to have mine done by Monday. I am struggling mightily both with my annual February slump and my inability to tie a decent Hendrickson.
