OK I guess I’m hosting this Month…
Now I know this will break a lot of peoples hearts but I will not be doing the “Micro” Flies as in the past.
I’ll make it easy on All, Tie Your favorite Fly to Tie.

Flies in the mail. Little bit of an experiemnt.
Keep any extra’s.
Are we wending a set to Sjo?
Rick
I’m planning on doing so.
I know it raised this “Old F*rt” Up when I was still included.
Bill
I think we should.
That’s very nice guys. I really appreciate that. I’m still lying on my back, under a blanket off Morphine. My left knee is very painfull, my back is okay again and my fysiotherapist thinks that the trouble in my knee is a rest off the hernia. So I’m going forward, but there still is a long way to go. I still can’t sit long enough to start tying again, so I think I will not be tying in the december challenge, but I hope I can start again in January.
We will keep contact,
Cheers,
Sjo
My favorite goto nymph this past summer was a pyscho prince nymph. It’s basically a prince nymph with ice dub instead of peacock herl. For the swap doing them in green ice dub.

I have to change my pattern. I didn’t have enough Zonker Strips. I’ve tied some cool looking Japanese Beetles, while I was messing around with some Swiss Straw and Peacock Diamond Braid They are done and will be in the mail on Monday.
