Larva Lace Swap

THIS SWAP IS FULL.

OK, here’s yet another swap. This one’s for you larva lace fans out there. Any style and size of fly goes as long as it includes some larva lace (hollow, round, nymph rib, midge rib, etc.). Limit will be 12 tiers, including me. Create 12 of the same fly and send them in with toe tags, crush-proof container, self-addressed envelope with return postage. YOU MUST BE ON TIME with your flies. If you send them in after the deadline, they’ll be returned to you unopened and the rest of us will be bummed.

To sign up, it’s first come, first served. All levels of tying experience welcome.

Sign up by: January 22nd

This is it! This is my last swap of the year. I just sent my flys out for my 7th swap in two months. I will stop at number 8, so please put me down for baetis nymphs, or emergers.

Paul, DUB, and Jack,

Welcome aboard. And DUB, if I get half as lucky as you with that Baitis, I’ll be one happy fishing fool! Thanks for joining, guys.

What is Lava lace? What flys can be tied?

Good question!

Larva Lace is a vinyl ribbing material that comes in a few sizes and several colors. Some of it is solid and round or flat or half-round. Some of it is hollow tubing. It?s most often used to wrap around a hook as a body, especially in nymphs, or as ribbing over some other body material. Some patterns also use it braided as a body. Here are some links where you can find out more.

Where can you buy Larva Lace? Possibly from your local fly shop. From the manufacturer?s link above, from Cabelas, ebay, and probably other online suppliers I don?t know about. I checked Hook and Hackle but didn?t find it there.

Mahaskaboy wants in. I’ll tie a midge or a nymph of my creation. I like tying with Larva Lace!

Sounds good, both of you. One can’t have too many beadhead caddis pupae, I always say.

I’d be interested in joining the swap. I’ll tie a baetis emerger pattern.

Diane;
Looks like it’s filling up. I’ll bump it back to the top.
I’ve got 7 tied already and will hold off finishing untill the final tally is in. Besides I’ve got to more swaps to tie for yet.

I feel more like I do now than I did when I got here!
