Just curious flywatersmallie - whereabouts in God's Country do you call home? Myself I'm out here in Lake Country

Just found it (the article on home page) - Thanks!

I have been reading through this thread and thinking "I live in Wisconsin (Oconomowoc), not too far from Michigan, plus I have a daughter that just moved to Big Rapids - maybe this is something I...

There is a pretty detailed review of the Okuma helios on www.talkflyfishing.com, that seems to say it is a pretty good reel. I noticed some folks having closeouts on them, which might mean it is...

Never been there, but I understand there is good fishing for smallies in the Wisconsin & Baraboo rivers there, probably northerns as well. Take your 8wt, clousers, and wooly buggers!

Kahuna - Been out of town the last couple weeks on a construction site; looks like I have a few more weeks that I have to put in - won't be able to get my clousers to you, so proceed without me.

Glad you got them ; I was beginning to get worried!

Flies shipped today; coming at you in a Christmas Card Box inside a Bubble envelope. Let me know when they are received!

HMD - Running into a little problem here and need your advice; obviously (as a previous swapmeister)you have run into this before. Sent my dear wife to the Post Office to mail the Flies; she has just...

HMD - the Perch YakAttaks are completed. Will be boxed up and shipped tomorrow or Tuesday. her is the recipe for anyone interested:

Hook: 2/0 Saltwater

Kahuna - Can you PM your address to me?

Kahuna - I'd love to join with a Chart/White Clouser, on the smallish-side, size 6 or 8.

Hobo - I have heard of one more way to add weight to the fly, and it's done supposedly to affect how the hook rides (up or down). I haven't tried this, but others may have and can "WEIGH" in on the...

Started my "YakAttak" streamers. They will be Perch Flavored, tied on a 2/0 hook. I'll try and get a picture of one attached to whet everyone's appetite to get "Pike Fishin"

Warmwater is my focus these days, and I'll tie about 4 each (for new patterns or colors)in a couple different sizes do to the wide range of fish that might hit it. I'll tie some size 8-10-12(depends...

I started with the Griffin (2a I think) and it worked fine for awhile; I just wore out/stripped the collet? screw on that one; but it was great vise for the $$.. Then I researched and decided on...

I've been looking for a new mid-price (my idea of mid-price anyway) Large Arbor reel to go with my 8wt rod for Pike/Bass/Walley fishing, and I noticed that Orvis is selling their Battenkill LA Disc...

HMD,

Put me down for a Shiner or Perch "Flavored" Yak Fly. I like the synthetics because they don't get so waterlogged and easier to throw on my 8 wt!

Sign me up for this swap if there is still time!

I'll take a look at what's being tied, look in my files, and come up with something "productive". I'll post the fly pattern this week.
