Loooong week at work. Ignored the mail pile building on the table. Started going thru it earlier this evening and found the swap flies.

WOW!! Nice job everyone. Can't wait to try them - hopefully sooner rather than later.

Well run swap!!!

Looking back over this thread, I realized I didn't post what I'd tie or provide a recipe. Apologies to everyone, especially Ol' Blue.

Here a link to the Humbug fly. http://www.hatchesmagazine.com/page/june2006/204
Recipe: TMC 9300 size 10. Black and yellow chenille, white rubber legs, black uni thread 6/0

I didn't follow any particular pattern for the woven body fly.
Recipe: Mustad R73 size 10. Tail - Brown marabou. Body - weave of olive and tan ultra chenille. Thorax - brown swiss straw and white hackle. I used olive uni thread 6/0 for the body and dark brown uni thread 6/0 for the thorax.
