Also tied a couple more for me with crystal chenille for the body.

Makes a neat looking fly.

Just seven more days. If we get no more then we’ll go with what we have (how’s that for a Yogi-ism?)

I’m very happy with 6.
I’ve tied more than that and have been less than happy with all of them. they work though. I can say that. great fly.

I do not have a problem with just 6. John

I would like to jump in and give it a shot. My wife gave me Mr. Nixon’s book Fly Tying and Fly Fishing for Bass and Panfish. I love the book what an innovator in bass flies.

Welcome to the swap, pheasanttail65. Tom Nixon certainly created some interesting flies. A couple of years ago we did a Tom Nixon swap which was just a blast. His Pigboats really work, too. JGW

Thank you for leting me join in on the swap.

I’ll close this off at 6 p.m. CDT on Sunday. Otherwise we have our list of swappers. Thanks everyone. A half dozen of us will have some dang good bass flies before Christmas! JGW

Are folks interested in tying a dozen and exchanging two apiece?

One to fish and one to copy?

This is a suggestion not a demand.
