JRG 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2005 Hi guys, So if I am counting correctly, we need to send in at least 11 flies now?? Any extras will go to you skunked (from me anyways) as I always tie a few prototypes when developing a pattern. Hopefully I will start next week and will get some pics out.

Alex C. 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2005 How do these look? I used bead chain eyes instead of melted mono, I think they'll have a similiar action in the water to a real hex nymph, sixe is pretty much perfect and I thought I did a fairly descent job matching the color Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JRG 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 Hi Skunked, I will let you know how your flies are once I've received them, take a closer look at them, and cut them up to see exactly how you tied it. they look like they'll catch fish. I was thinking they had a baby bugger kind of look to them. Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary Madore 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 Skunked, X-Hexes are in the mail..... I lost track of the participants so I tagged an even dozen and threw in a couple extra for good luck. That makes 14.... Keep the change Cheers! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sjo Crapels 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2005 I've been to the postoffice and they don't have anything like an International Reply thing, so I guess I will have to include some dollars for postage. Anyone have an idea how much $ I should include? What's the adress, anyway? Sjo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
