Oh yeah I definitely want in on this one. Learning to spin hair these last few days. A deer hair something or other.

3

Consulting my vast(not) library, I have decided on a Whitlock’s Gerbubble Bug. Colors TBD.

4

i’ll do a folded foam popper, you tell me the color. Red , white, black, yellow. dan

5

John…I’ll jump in with a “Jurgler”.(Captain Jerry In Lodi’s variation on a Gurgler).

Thanks for hosting.

6

All of you are in. My choice would be yellow or black. But it’s your fly, Danny, therefore, your choice. Thanks everyone. This is filling up pretty fast. That’s a good sign! JGW

NO WAY! I was just thinking about doing a swap called Bloop, Gurgle, Pop! Basicly the same thing as yours! Since your last one was awsome, I am going to have to enter in this one! I know exactly which fly I am going to enter too… it is my alltime favorite fly the yellow dalhberg diver 8) . This time I will remember to toetag them.

Ok yellow it will be. Be warned these poppers will not fit in a Altoids tin. I’ll make them up on a 1/0 or 2/0 hook. Dan

9

Welcome JZ. That, indeed, is a great fly. And, yes, make sure you send appropriately sized boxes for this swap. Great idea. JGW

Featherfastener

12

Cool! We’re closing in on a full swap. This won’t last long. JGW

13

This is going to be really fun, and noticing how there have been a bunch of great bass swaps latly, Later, I might make a tandem swap, if any of you guys are interested give me a holler. (I’ve also got a steelhead/salmon swap going on right now, some of you guys should really check it out, there are only 2 more days left to get in it.)

14

may i join with a Jorgensen Weedless Hammerhead

15

ibrb - sounds interesting! Welcome to the swap. JGW

16

I’d like to join with a standard cork popper. I like to modify mine with those bullfrog type legs, and make them on the larger size targeting the big bass. I caught a 5 lb’er this weekend using it!

17

Your in. You should look up my nephew Scott White in Richmond, also a dedicated fly fisher. JGW

18

I would love to. Is he heading to Waynesboro this weekend for the festival? If so, I have an open seat for him…

19

John…Jurglers will be heading East on Monday. If the swap doesn’t fill up(like that won’t happen :lol: ) you keep the extras. Thanks for hosting.

Later…

I’ll get in on this one. I will tie some Skipping Minnows.
