Travis Bille 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Here are the flies from the massively successful pet hair swap. I just want to say that this is the best swap I've ever been in. Everyone made the extra effort and the creativity of these flies were incredible. The pics don't do them justice. For some reason I'm having some trouble uploading the pics, so I will post them as I get them. Dr Vette, cat hair and snake skin. Amazing amazing fly. The picture does not do it justice Shoebop's Beagle Bugger My Rocky Dog Caddis, dubbed with Brittany Spaniel fur Mybadhabits atxdiscgolfer natedubay steiner saltybum riffleriversteelheadslayer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Great flies. I received a huge bag of collie hair at work the other day. People are starting to bring in anything now that walked, flew, or crept for me to tie with. Gets some funny looks from the boss! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My patients are always bringing me stuff to tie with. I try to keep it on the downlow haha. Gonna work on the rest of the pics in a bit Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saltybum 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 You a doctor? Funny, your user photo would make me think otherwise. Loved that thing from Dr. Vette, thought a bug got in my package at first. Incredible work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saltybum 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Also looks like I might actually get to the smokies yet. Now looking like mid Oct. I think that might be a good time. Can't wait to try out some of these creations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

natedubay 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2013 What the....!? Hey Travis and anyone else, did the color on my flies all fade to brown? If so I'm switching markers. I have a few that haven't faded so maybe it's the light or camera? Kristin just said, "Hey, that's a brown version of the Athena hair flies you tied..."

Travis Bille 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2013 Dammit I knew it would be those two that I mixed up. Sorry guys, I'll fix it when I'm at a computer and not on my phone. And yeah, the camera isn't great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

natedubay 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2013 Ok good, I started using the prismacolor markers a few months ago and was pretty happy with them otherwise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
