WELL! that sure filled up fast....just got over here and I'm counting 11 "ins" ......guess that lets me off the 'hook' for tying some of those Bluegill Imitators....til next time. Anyone already in feel free to take my recipe and go with it if you haven't decided yet.

I fish, therefore I swam.
don,
that's don shipp's pattern, correct?

Wow did this ever fill up fast. But it's filled and time to tie! JGW
It is Don Shipp's pattern. I ran accross it a couple of years ago and have done searches for the Tragopan Pheasant feathers a couple of times. Last time, I founs a patch that was all glued onto cardboard for crafting on E-Bay for around $30 and a full skin, minus tail, for $200. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/frown.gif
I did notice that the bird I got had some very similar feathers on it when I was plucking it, so I will scrounge up a bunch in the same size and have at it. Won't be as colorful, but should look pretty good.

Okay, tyers. Should we add one more? I'm game. It'll just raise the ante one more fly. Like to get Ursus in it too, They both have such interesting flies. JGW
Works for me. I am doing a Tom Nixon
Brown peacock nymph variation.
Do you want 11 or 12 flies?
Rick
We'll make it an even dozen. Featherchucker, you're in. Meister's edict! So everyone ties a dozen flies. Thanks, everyone. JGW
Ok, John and crew, you got me by order of executive decision to make it a dozen. I'm in. This is my first ever fly swap.
Guess you folks with be getting a Bluegill Imitator. I will most likely go with the doll eyes modification ( unless someone wants to send me a number 1 grade jungle cock cape, lol!) and weight it just a tad to make it less bouyant and add to the action.
