Hi Guy’s
I have been recieving some Excellent Flies, A BIG THANK YOU to ALL for keeping Me in the loop.
The Vet has switched My “Witches Brew” of drugs and I am able to tie(somewhat) again.
The flies are not as nice as I would like them but they are fishable and Nowhere near as small as I like.
I would like to get re-involved in the swap again. I can only tie a few at a time but I can handle getting them done in a month.
Also if anyone need some XXXL goretex waders like new cheep check out the for sale section in a day or two.
My wading Days are over and so are Jean’s. Boy it’s a B***h getting old. Next time around I’m definatley picking a different set of parents;)

Bill:
Welcome back! I was hoping we would see you here again and I am glad it is sooner than later. I know all about the getting old part… Great to have you back.
Thanks,
Bill

I’m in for August. I’ll tie a Thunder Creek style minnow. The lateral line is flash.

Welcome back! Bill&Bill, I share the age problem with you and with you all I learned that amongst friends like you, it doen’t matter that much. It’s really good having you back in!

I think about doing some flashy tubeflies. Troutsize.
Sjo

Changed my mind.
I will do.
The Sparkle-Assed Usual which is in the Fly of the Week section.

Somehow it seems appropriate since I got the Snowshoe feet from the author of the article.

BTW could’t figure out how to delete picture so I replaced it with one of my two helpers/supervisors

I am in for this month, been a very long time. I will check the supplies tonight and let you know.

I’d like to join this swap if there is room. I can tie a “grouse and flash” softhackle…thanks, Jason

Feenom, send a PM to Gigmaster, if you don’t hear back from him in the next few days. He’s our organizer / coordinator this year.

It’s OK. I got it. Welcome to our swap, Feenom. Keep in mind that this is an annual swap. You have to stay in until Jan 2013. If you are still interested, we’d love to have you.

Great to have you back Bill. Don’t worry. No one is going to ever tie any flies uglier than what I did for the July Swap. They even scared the cat…

One quick question, Rick. When you say ‘flash’, do you mean Krystal Flash, Flashabou, Polar Flash, or just anything shiny?

Flash is in the eye of the beholder.
Any one of those works for me.

Check the first post on this thread to see if I missed anyone.

Thanks

Rick

Put me down for a Flash Kebari , a Tenkara fly of my own design just to try something different.

I’ve got some funky yarn that has shiny filaments coming off of it. I’ve used it to make some really buggy, shiny-looking Woolly Buggers. Would that be acceptable?

Guys, I guess I didn’t understand what these monthly swaps were about. I should have done a little homework. I don’t want to commit to a monthly swap at this time. Thanks, Jason

No problem. That’s why I always check. Maybe next year?

OK. We’re back to 10.

OK I will be tying a sz 14 Peacock Para. Flash will be the tail and post, body Peacock, hackle Grizzly.
Bill

Flies are done and in the mail.
