Great job everyone for this series in 2009. My schedule has gotten ahead of me, so I won't be running this in 2010, but someone is welcome to take over if you want to.

My pattern for December, Christmas Tree from the United Kingdom

[John R]

I haven't figured out what I'll tie yet... wish I could spin deer hair.

I hope its ok... I added a new thread about 2010. I'd be honored to host and continue ol' blue's efforts with next year's swaps.

I'm glad you think it is worth continuing. I wish you the best of luck with it and I'm sure you will do a great job.

It is still kind of weird knowing this will be the last one for me. No regrets, though...the kids deserve top priority at this point in my life.

[sanctyphillia]

I'll be doing a christmas-y vlad the impaler.

[Gigmaster]

I was going to do a Christmas tree, but ibirb beat me to it. I couldn't think of any other patterns, so I just made one up. I call it the Yule B. Sari Streamer.

Hook: Cabelas Model 40 sz.8
Thread: 6/0 Unithread Black
Body: Red tinsel from Wal-Mart
Hackle: Bucktail-green over white
Beard: Some kind of red feather I got in a Cabelas grab bag.

i will be doing a Christmas midge nothing like the one i did last year.
Who are we mailing our flies to?

[ol' blue]

Received flies from ibrb.

[sjo]

I'm done with the Xmas flies. They're pink beasts for fishing very deep pool ore for hanging above the crib as a Bethlehemstar. I need an addy though to send them out on time!
