September Swap of the Month

All about flies Fly Swaps
1

Howdy! I would like to do something different for the September SOTM. We will do fly patterns with unconventional materials. Use as many materials as possible. Some materials out there include - aluminum cans, plastic bags, sequins, plastic net bags from produce, rubber bands, mylar from snack packaging, etc. Anything goes - have fun.
I will do a Metal Flutter Fly from an aluminum can.

Running a little behind on August as I’m finishing a rod. Anyway, I’m in with a chek (sic) nymph made from Christmas tinsel.

I think the spelling is check and you can make it out to me. :lol:

8

I played around and came up with a fly. Ribbon fibers for wings and tail. Foil off a candy wrapper for the body.
Hope they get to Texas faster than the last time.

I’ll watch for them, Rick. I’ve had problems mailing to South Texas in the past.

I think our postal workers take sunny days as optional.

11

I use a lot of rubber in my check nymphs. They don’t fish to well either.

12

I can not find a name for this soft hackle style of nymph so I call it Igor (after the dubbing donor).

13

Balloon Bug for me. Tied with of all things a balloon!

14

I think it spells Czech.

I just got back in town. Let me ponder this for a while, and I’ll announce a pattern. Right now, I am thinking, “rubber-band grub”.
