Selective Trout Swap

RCream · January 29, 2008, 12:36am

Hi All,

I’ve been away for a little while, but am back and would love to run a swap for selective trout. The flies you might go to after getting a few refusals, or fish first to a fish when you’re not quite sure what its feeding on, but know you might only get one chance. Sort of open ended I guess, just anything you feel tends to get them when other things aren’t and/or you have a high level of confidence in. Dries, wets, emergers, whatever you like its all fine with me.

12 tiers including me

Please ship your flies in a suitable container with a return envelope and postage

Flies in the mail by March 20

Please mail to

If this swap is still a go. I would like to get in with a fly I recently saw in the fly tying Forum. The Trout Crack. I tied a few up and went out yesterday. Even though it was a cold day and the water was cold I was still able to bring 9 small browns to hand.
So I will be tying up Trout Crack Size 14. Thanks John

Thanks for hosting this swap. I’d like to join. I love fishing those tough spots. I’ll tie CDC Micro Caddis. It’s been a great fly for me.
