I was just sitting here thinking about what kinda swap would be fun to get started and thought “why not squirrel” so here goes. Total of 12 swappers (11 and myself) with a pattern that includes squirrel in it. The squirrel can be dubbing, zonker strips, tail fibers, gaurd hairs ect ect… Tie any pattern you like ( streamer, dry, wet, nymph, crawfish whatever) Sign-up til May 5th or full. Flies due here June 10th. The usual rules apply here flies shipped in a crush-proof contanier with return postage and toe-tags.

Okay, AM, I shouldn’t do this, but what the heck. I’m in for a squirrel something or other. Hmm, maybe a super secret steelhead fly (tied in smaller sizes they work great for trout).

I’m in! I need to go home and check the patterns to see what I’ll submit, but I’ll drop you a line in the next day or so with the fly name. Just picked up some fox squirrel dubbing yesterday, maybe something with that?

Toby,
How are you feeling? I heard about the hernia and I was hoping that you were Ok. I hope I will see you at the Rendevous in Talequah and I really hope you can fish. On another note can I play too??? I saw a neat pattern at the SowBug and I think I can tie it. It is kind of a baitfish pattern with Pine Squirrel. Don’t know the name but it works. Take Care.

Focus on the details in life… Just don’t get caught focusing!

Ok guys and gals we are full, since Leonard and Big Willy are so close in signing in I am going to extend the flies by 1 so send me 13 flies for 13 in exchange. Willy thanks for the well wishes, the surgery was success. I am still quite sore but will be at the Smallmouth, however I will not be cleared to fiah that soon. Here is my addy for all you earlybirds:
