Swap of the Month July

Being number 7 on the list its my turn to announce a new swap.

I was thinking off a CdC-swap. Let’s do a swap using CdC feathers, whatever pattern you like! Dries, wets, nymphs, streamers, whatever.

Usual swaprules apply. Due date the end off the month, 7-31st. The Swap will be hosted by John R because I’m a continental and yours and mine costs for posting would be huge!!

Let’s do this! I’m curious to see your creations!!

Participating are:

  1. John R ---------- Loop-Wing Emerger
  2. ibrb ------------- CdC Comparadun
  3. Texfly ----------- CdC Caddis
  4. bdesavage ----- TBD
  5. FISHNFOOL9 –
  6. Gigmaster ----- CdC Beetle
  7. Sjo -------------- Yellow Sally emerger # 16
  8. branhap -------- CdC holographic suspending Nymph
  9. RGP759 -------- Pheasant tailled, CdC bodied, soft hackle emerger
  10. RickZ ---------- CdC Elk hair caddis
  11. hugefish 80 –
  12. billhouk ------- BWO Emerger size 12 (to 16)

I’m in with a BWO Emerger size 12 (to 16).

I’ll let you know when we get back home after the Fish-In.

I will be tying a CDC Compardun

I’ll do a pheasant tail soft hackle emerger.

Bob

I will do a cdc elk hair caddis. Not as well as Hans, but workable.

Rick

I’m still looking for a pattern that appeals to me. I will announce ASAP. I want something creative. I may have to make up a pattern.

Sjo,
I’m doing a CDC bodied, Phesant tailed Parachute BWO. I saw it (I think) somewhere, can’t find it now, but here’s the reciept.
Hook: Daiichi 1110 sz16

Paul

Perfect! this is why i join swaps, to tie things I wouldn’t normally! now I have to figure out what to tie…

Dude!!! You’re making the rest of us look bad!! :wink:

John,
When You are at a Fish-In and the Arthritis in Your shoulder’s driving you nutz, and You manage to pull the muscle over Your left shoulder blade, so You can’t cast what else are Ya gonna do.
Except talk and tie
:stuck_out_tongue:

OK… finished. This Turkey biot BWO CDC will NOT be added to my Top Ten Favorite Flies to Tie list unless you all report large trout jumping out of the water and snatching it from your fingers while tying it to the tippit. You may have to look hard but there is a bit of CDC underwing. Will get them in the mail in the next couple of days.

I think I’ll try a pattern that is new to me , the CDC Caddis.

Flies in the mail.

Sorry for the delay in sending the flies. I am waiting on an order for some more materials to complete this run. They should be here next week, then I’ll knock 'em out and mail 'em

Sjo, I’ll be attempting theCDC Loop-Wing Emerger.
John

CDC Beetles will be in the mail tomorrow.
