Since March is almost here im posting this so you can get working on your March flies the theme is Catskill style flies. Any pattern you choose will be good, all the standard rules apply. When you post your fly i will pm you my address. Please make sure the flies are mailed at least 2 weeks to 10 days before the end of the month to insure they get here thanks so much.
Since bassman was going to tie this week’s fly of the week for this swap, I’ll be tying the “catskill” for him. Thanks for letting me join the swap. JohnR
My tie will be the “Firehole”.
Recipe:
Hook: Standard dry
Thread: Cream or Black
Wing: Speckled mallard, teal or wood duck (I’m using teal)
Tail: Same as wing
Body: Cream fox fur dubbing
Hackle: Grizzly
Well i am still thinking about what fly to tie. I will have it picked out this weekend. Need to sit down and thumb through a few books and find a pattern.
