breambuster 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2020 THIS SWAP IS CLOSED As promised last month, this round of the Well-Stocked Fly Box Series is for a Trout Jigs as used in Euro-Nymphing. I am asking that jig hooks be used because they run through the water with the point up. I am also asking that the hook be no larger than #12 to keep this a trout swap. If you need ideas about the patterns, Flytire posted websites with picture in my post from a month ago. All the usual rules apply. Include a SASE with your flies, please. Be sure to have enough postage for the return. You will tie as many flies as participants and not get back one of your own. Extras are, by no means, required. Due date will be June 5, with an absolute cut-off, without an extremely good excuse, by June 10. Be aware that the mail here seems to be running a day or 2 slower since coronavirus. Hope you will join us in this round. Also, I want to let you know that this is the next to the last round in this series. Doing this many swaps in this short a period of time is a job and I need a break. However, Vicrider has contacted me with a suggestion, and the more I have thought about it, the more I have realized that his idea is the perfect way to end this series. I can’t wait to tell you about it on June 5, (but I will😀). BB Swapmeister - Ginger Snap 1. Woodenlegs - Napolean’s Dynamite - Received 2. Flytire - TBA - Received 3.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2020 Mine are done but playing with a few other ideas on true Euro nymphs thanks to flytire's links. Oh yeah, I'm in by the way. I could have beaten Woodenlegs but didn't think it would be fair if I mailed mine even before the swap was officially open.😄 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
