Kim Wasn't sure if this fit the category. Some folks will consider this a wet fly or even a streamer, but I like to weight it down and let it roll along or drag it along the bottom, so I consider it a nymph.

Actually I consider a Wooly BUGGER as a streamer and a Wooly WORM as a nymph pattern. But that's just me - Oh, I AM THE SWAPMEISTER! (insert evil laugh here!).

I consider myself an advanced beginner. Also, I would like to urge any newer members/tiers who are sitting on the fence of joining this (or any swap) you should really take the plunge. Tying up a dozen flies of one kind, (or 10 in this case) especially when they are going to someone else, is a really great way to hone your skills, and you get a bunch of great flies tied by others to boot! This is now a two tier swap with some more openings, let me know if you'd like to join. Kim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haziz 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2020 I plan to send you a "simple" caddisfly larva, from Paul Fling's and Donald Puterbaugh's "The Basic Manual of Fly-Tying" book, or a close variation on it. BTW, in all honesty, I think I belong more in the beginner section of this swap. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WWKimba 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2020 Since there are still a couple openings left I'll close out registration for this swap at the end of the week. Reminder, flies will need to be in by December 15th. This swap is open to beginning and intermediate tyers only. Let me know your pattern choice ASAP because part of this swap is me helping newer tyers with hints and tricks BEFORE you tie to help you out.
