vicrider 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2015 Short one swapper but a couple of extras make a full set of nice orange themed flies. Couple of stimulators in there which I like as an upper fly over a nymph or wet fly. Makes me feel less like I'm fishing with a bobber. Here's one from add 147 and Joseph Russell Michael Ray's in here with and that Buster of the bream djtrout sends this to us Kennebec has one of our stimulators Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2015 And I had to break this thread and admit I think I lost the J-Kno picture. He sent us a nice fly but didn't get the pic. Sorry J-Kno So here's the rest, beginning with two from netabrookie and crackleback has this orange butt for us jolly red has one of his panfish favorites and border collies back in the game And I did a weave, then got a new orange grizzly hackle so did a 16 crackleback Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2015 They should be on there way this afternoon. Each month is falling a little behind. Maybe we should make this an 11 month swap so we can finish the year caught up with everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kennebec12 0 Report post Posted November 18, 2015 Nice little set of flies, brookies do like orange most days, hopefully I'll get to use them next spring, weather is cooling off pretty quick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jolly Red 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2015 Mine came in today, and these are some fine flies. I am always impressed by the quality of the flies in the swaps, and these are no exception. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kennebec12 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2015 Got mine in today, beautiful set, I love the orange soft hackles, some of my favorites. Netabrookie's stimulator is much more finely crafted than mine, and should do better in slower water, mine might float in a class 5 rapid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2015 kennebec12, I think yours would be great to float a smaller beadhead so I can pretend I'm not using a bobber. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
