articulated fly swap(closed)

This swap is for articulated flies. The nice thing about articulated flies, is that you can tie them for just about anything, probobly even dries. There will be 12 tiers, including myself, standard rules, 1 flies each, and make sure that they are toetagged :). The first hook must be snipped like shown in the slideshow to decrese the amount of preasure on the fish. For those of you that don’t know what an articulated flie, here you go.

This is a little slideshow i made that nicly shows how to start an articulated flie. This is used with 20 lb. mono, and gamatsaku hooks. I will be tying a Articulated Steelhead Bunny Leech, created by Don Johnson. it is a really great flie, i add a couple adjustments to it though. I am thinking either olive/white, or black/yellow. i will go with the first suggestion. Here is a pic of what the fly looks like:
