Fly Tyer Magazine fly swap

Recommended Posts

I'd like to be in as well. I caught several large fish this year on an ozark marabou streamer that I got from the magazine.

Looks like one more slot left. Thought the first post would carry over and then I thought I put a post in earlier but guess not. Anyway, if count is right I'll slip in behind Kudu and fill it out.

Okay, I'm going to take a shot at tying the Fender. This swap is out far enough that I can order more hooks if I need to. I have just enough for swap and if I keep having to razor the hooks clean and start over I may end up wearing a couple out. My only variation of the pattern is how well it's tied and that I'm using the Klinkhammer hooks in a #16 instead of his emerger hook. Klinks make a great emerger pattern with their tail hanging down so we'll see if I can get this one done. If not I'll simplify my choice in the future.

I have been looking at the online site patterns from the magazine and I am frankly not impressed with what I'm finding. I guess I'll have to buy an issue and see if they are any better.
