Great Lakes Steelhead

[Mr. Trout 0]

I am interested in doing a swap with any Great Lakes Steelhead pattern you wish. I am looking to divesify and fill my fly box (and help a few others do the same) for some spring steelheadin. I was thinking 11 plus myself and Flytyingforum.com rules apply. I have only been tying about a year myself so if your new dont worry all flies will be appreaciated. I am in Ontario so anyone worried about postage costs heres your heads up. I will give a date pending 11, I'm ins.

 

Right on here's the list so far:

 

sorearm - flashy bugger

atroutbum2 - t.b.d

bly65 -blm nymph

artimus -t.b.d

7 Spots left

Well I guess this one is gonna take some time to fill. If we cant get enough people maybe we could do a couple flies each for each other?

I'm in - it'll be my first swap. How about something along the lines of an 'electric blue'.

I'm in. I will tie up a Bright roe. I have had great success with this fly for spring steelies. It works well for the salmon on the Pere Marquette too.

Ok that way better than I hoped 4, dont worry this is my first swap too and meister (go big or go home ) for that matter. I cant wait to see your patterns. And so for a date I was thinking if we all have flies mailed by the end of February Please send me a PM to confirm your spot.

Im gonna tie a conehead streamer called a Triple Threat, im gonna tie it in erie emerald shiner colors. How many do i need to tie?

[NineZeroSeven 0]

Mine should look something like this. More likely though, it'll look more along the lines of something a cat might regurgitate after eating one too many birds in a morning.

Well I hate to leave anyone out when we have another month before our flies are due so I let steeladdict sign up today so ya that mean 1 more fly each. This gives us ten tyers, and that is final ( I promise). If you havent confirmed your spot please msg me and I will send you my mailing info. So far I have these people confirmed:

 

artimus

atroutbum2

bly65

rampratyow

RJButler
