You all need to tie 12 flies. I am proud to say that we are up to a full compliment for the 2013 SOTM. Please give a warm welcome to roadhog.
We're happy to have you with us roadhog.
My fly is a Dragonfly nymph if you didn't recognize the photo.
Welcome Roadhog. This series off swaps is a sensational motivator! I still am very proud to be a member. I hope it will bring you the same amount off pleasure that we all have. Please be advised: take care for the Luny bin chapter!!
Cheers

This looks like a VERY interesting swap! can't wait to see the pictures!!!
5 tied 7 to go looking kewl! Once I get them all tied I'll bend the legs and color. I wish I could post a pic for you all but you're gonna have to wait. Muuuwaaahaha!
I'll drag all my stuff out and get going. I'll decide in the next day or so and post the final decision on what bug to tie. Thanx all for the opportunity to join you all. Just be warned, Not an expert tyer but have alot of fun doing it. Tied for 4-5 yrs then took about 3 yrs off. lost my desk space. lol. Time to get back into it. this go around might be a simple tie for the first one. lol
