Thread: January SOTM

    Default January SOTM

    After a little confusion last month it's my turn to pick this month's swap.

    The theme this month is "Fly fishing fantasy". Have you ever wanted to go someplace that you have never been and fish for an entirely new species? This is your chance to tie flies for that trip. For instance, if you live in the south but would like to fly fish for northern pike one day, you should tie a pike fly. If you have never fished steelhead, this may be your chance to tie some steelhead flies. Any fish/ fly combination will work, Just please try to make it for something that you have never fished for before or that you get to fish for on very rare occasion.

    Also, please include the species that you would like to catch on the toe tag of the fly that you tie.

    Chris,

    Thanks for getting this started. I'll have to figure out what I want to tie.

    I'm going to start another thread to get confirmations as to who is going to play this year. Put yourself, bdesavage and me on the list please.

    Thanks,
    John R

    Good plan John. I saw that fishnfool had to drop out and was wondering how we went about adding a new person to the swap. Keep me informed.

    thanks,

    This is going to be hard to figure out, it is going to require thought. And Boy are My Thought Processes Shot!

    What a fun swap theme! I am excited about this one! (Haha, as if there's ever a swap I'm NOT excited for... )

    Put me down for a salmon fly!

    OK, I found a pattern. It is called Skip's Dad and is a crawdad pattern. It would be good for northerns, bass, and catfish. These are fish I would not normally cast for. However, a big northern on my 6 wt would be a great deal of fun right up until it chewed through the tippet. Going up to Lake Superior and fishing for northern would be one of my "fantasy" or "on the list" trips.
