All about flies Fly Swaps
1

Have you found some effective ways to make your flies more visible? How about sharing them. Tiny tricos, flush floating terrestrials, invisible emergers or any other fly that’s hard to see on the water. Open to ten tyers including myself. Sign up by the end of November and have flies to me by the end of December with a stamped self addressed return package. Please toe tag all flies with your name and BB handle. I’ll send you a pm with my address when you sign up.

Thanks,
George :wink:

wellcome George. It’s good to have you with us and in the swap

I can’t believe there’s only four of us who have trouble seeing flies. There’s still plenty of time to sign up.

Jim, I’d like in. Hi-Vis ginger quill parachute. Thanks. kev

great Kev I’m looking forward to seeing them.

10

Since we have a couple of mayflies already I’ll tie a visible fur ant.

11

hi jim!

I"m in if you still have room.
pattern…The Usual. Floats like a cork, you can see it from a mile away, and trout love it!
True…i have no secret that makes this pattern even more visible than it already is…but i think trout take it for an emerger. if this pattern falls outside the rules of the swap, please let me know and ill choose another. :slight_smile:
Best,
Black Gnat

Gnat Sound good to me

13

Jim,
I think I will be “Tying” a “HI-Vis X-Caddis” in size 20 or 22…depending on how the fingers work.
Benn trying to figure out how to mount a “strobe” on a fly with no luck yet. :lol:
Are you going to make the Mason Show?

OK Jim, here;s what I got! It’s the best ever fly for tired eyes.

How 'bout a size 14 Trico Spinner?
This puppy’s a winner! But then, I gotta tell ya that I’ve used this fly in another swap last April.

So, there you are, you still got room?

We’ll tye these Trico Spinners on a size 18 hook.

Five days left to sign up.

You don’t have to be old to join us; if your glasses weigh more than your fly rod then this swap is for you.

19

Jim, I have 14 flies tied for the swap. I did send a PM to let you know that I switched from a Ginger Quill to a Tan Quill. Will hold them for a few days if you like or I can put them in the mail right along. Let me know what you prefer. kev

Kev, you might as well wait a few days and see how many people we get It looks like we’ll be short. You can mail them whenever you like. If everyone is early I’ll just send them out sooner. I got your private message but was too lazy to change the fly list.
