Travis Bille 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2014 Hey atx, I think the swap is for the stonefly the salmon fly, not flies for actual salmon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2014 I was wondering that Travis. I thought first of fishing for salmon. An egg fly is what I primarily used over the years but would have done something a little exotic plus one of the better egg flies. Now I think we're talking of the salmon fly hatch. We just had a discussion of this on another board and something I've been told works well and something I've tied up some for my box is a basic all black stimulator. Because of the colors of the adult salmon fly I've thought maybe a natural bucktail color over the top of a black flossed and hackled stimmie would be even better. Just making sure this is for the salmon fly hatch and not for salmon fishing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kudu 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2014 Joe I was looking forward to the Salmon fly myself. Ill fish the golden stone though when I head out to Idaho this summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atxdiscgolfer 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 I will enjoy tying the stoneflies, maybe i will host a Salmon Fly Swap for salmon once all the present swaps fill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travis Bille 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 You know, I had a day this summer where I hooked 15+ Chinook salmon on a salmon fly nymph. I only landed 2, but the salmon were taking salmon fly nymphs..... so it potentially could be a salmon fly swap for salmon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LP ID 66 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 Hey guys it doesn't look like we will get anyone else to join but can we shoot for May 15th? I would love to get them in time to hit the Henry's. Let me know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 I can make it. How many is it now to tie? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kudu 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 Can do. What if we tied two since the swap is small (one to keep one to fish) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LP ID 66 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 I believe it is six, although once I added namucreek I never heard back I will pm him and make sure he is in. if everyone wants to tie two I am fine with that but if some one can't no big deal. If so that would be twelve total Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LP ID 66 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 Namumcreek is and sounds like he is almost done so there is a total of six of us. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nanumcreek 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 I tied up a dry and a nymph for each participant. I had them done before we decided to do 2 of the same pattern. Is everyone ok with that or would you rather have two of the same pattern so you can fish one and keep one? I can do either way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 I plan to do two different myself. I'm not one to save the flies but hope to use them for what they're designed for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
