samsonboi 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2020 I'm doing a bead head nymph, #12, with brown body, gold rib, and black thorax. I am using elk underfur for the dubbing. It's a great dry fly and fine nymph dubbing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breambuster 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2020 Ok. Today is the LAST day to sign up for Round 1. If anyone else wants in, let me know ASAP, or else we will close the swap at 9 swappers. This is the last call. BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

breambuster 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2020 Ok, Guys, this swap is now officially closed with 10 swappers. That means that each of you will submit 10 flies and you will get back 10, but not one of your own. The due date is a hard date of February 10. That means that you are expected to have them in my possession on or before February 10. Do NOT wait until February 10 to mail them. I would suggest that you all try VERY hard to have them in the mail by February 3. Round 2 will BEGIN on February 10. And if you want in, you need to be signed up by that date. I will post Round 2 in early February. BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

breambuster 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2020 Hey Guys. I’m a bit behind, but Woodenleg’s flies this past Thursday. First set in. Congratulations. I’ve just thought of another small incentive, and Woodenlegs will be the first. I’ve decided that on my swaps, whoever gets their set in first will get an extra fly for me. It will be a random choice on my part, but it will be something different from the swap pattern. Congratulations, Woodenlegs! BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tied Dick Surette's copper bug as decoded by Norm Frechette. hook: Mustad 38941 or 9672 or equivalent thread: brown tail: cock pheasant barbules rib:peacock herl reinforced with fine oval gold tinsel or wire body: wrap the entire hook shank starting at the bend and going to just behind the eye with one layer of copper wire then wing the wire back to form the thorax and then forward to the eye. One layer of wire on the abdomen and 3 layers on the thorax. I used BR copper Ultra Wire. wing case: cock pheasant barbules legs: brown hackle trimmed on top thorax : peacock herl note: tie in the tail, and the peacock herl and wire for the rib. Wrap the copper wire and then wrap the rib forward. Tie in the wing case, hackle, and peacock herl in that order. wrap the herl forward, palmer the hackle forward and tie down the wing case. I'm in for the emergers. I will tie Bob Wyatt's Snowshoe Hare Emerger. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
