Hey Mickey, I am all done with all my swaps also. I could go for another.
How about a Turk’s Tarantula in a size 8? I just love that fly!

OK Mike, I’m in too. This list of participants is looking very familiar to me. Anybody got a good nymph pattern?(HeHe).

I’ll tie a dozen humpies (blonde/yellow).

Quit “buggin” the bug. Last time though. I’ll take the last spot.

I decided to tie a #16 Wright’s Royal apattern developed by Phil Wright in the 1970’s.

Hook: #16 Dry fly hook of preference.
Thread: Black (I used 12/0)
Body: Peacock herl royaled with red floss center(I used red holographic Flashabou)
Wing: Light elk hair / downwing-caddis style
Hackle: dark ginger (I used barred dark ginger)

what a great group of tyers.

I will tie blackwater double wings

hook-mustad 94845 #14
thread-grey 8/0
butt (they call it a tag, I call it a butt)-red krytal flash
body-peacock herl spun in a loop
wing-gold dyed deer hair over pheasant tippet over cream antron
thorax-ginger az microsheen
hackle-cree

interestingly enough, I was considering tying five other patterns that were selected by five consecutive tyers.

I’ll need g-man and k gilroy to email me at the address in my profile so I can get them in my address book and set up a list. swap details and business will be handled via email.

thanks y’all.

da bug is back!
I’m going to tie a Peacock Trude for this swap…Jason

20

my email address book hasn’t been cooperating w/ me these past few daze…hopefully I’ll get things sorted out by this weekend.

y’all know the drill.
a dozen toe-tagged flies in a crushproof container and a self addressed mailer and return postage to:

michael johnson
2038 n 109th ave
avondale, az 85323

flies should be in the mail prior to the deadline of may 20th. I’ve swapped w/ most of y’all before and know you’ll honor the deadline. if something arises which prevents you from fulfilling your obligation to the swap participants, please let me know asap so that we can work something out.

my flies are finished incidentally. which leaves plenty of time (perhaps) for an additional set.
