John,
My flies are packaged and will be mailed at lunch time today. The extras are for you, enjoy! Thanks for hosting the swap.
Hope you enjoy the black body soft hackle. It's a my adaptation of the smoky mtn blackbird. I can vouch that it works well in the smokies and also PA as well.

Flies arrived over the last several days from REE and white43. They look really good, guys!
Should have been tying over the weekend, but between having a cold and the wife's daughter, son-in-law, and grandbaby (her first... 3 months old now)... I haven't even given it a shot. I have to crack down and get to it!!

John,
If there are no objection's I'm going to change my Fly.
I've looked over what swap's I've been in and it seem's all I've tied has been BWO's and Trico's the largest being if memory serve's me right(No Guarntee's) has been a size 24.
I'll tie instead a Bead Head Para Spinner size 18. Did these about 4 year's ago for a Swap and all report's back say they work Great, and I need a few for Jean's and My Flyboxes.
That works for me, Bill!
My materials order finally showed up... so I can get to work on mine too.
My entry is in the mail.

Hook: TMC size 18;
Body: Peacock herl, black hackle double wrapped (I find doubling wrapping gives it a clustered look that has performed well for me); and
Thread: Uni black 8/0.
John, thank you for hosting and allowing me to join in.
