I’ll tie a Mickey Brin. Only had heard of the pigboat thing so this really sounds fun. JGW

5

This one sounds like fun. Can I play? I have to check the Lit to come up with a pattern though. I have seen pictures of some of his patterns and they all look pretty good.

Who has time for stress when there are fish to catch.

Just moving it up. This sounds like too much fun to let it die. Come on, tiers. Google the Nixon catalog and try something fun and different. JGW

moving it back up with my fingers crossed. This really looks like a fun gig, folks. There has to be another nine tiers somewhere in the world willing to tackle such a fun challenge of an “off the wall” original tier. Come on! Join in! JGW

Ya, I hate to see this swap die myself. This is a great chance for everyone to get some different and unusuall patterns. Come on and join in guys.

Joshua – by my count we now have six tiers. We just completed a ice fly swap with that many. I’m okay with half a load if everyone else is. JGW

I’m in… I’ll tie a Tom Nixon Spinner

Joshua,
Is the White Tail Palmer Gnat one of Nixons flies? I’ll give it a whirl, if you’ll have me.

Betty, not sure that the White Tail Palmer Gnat is a Nixon pattern. Do you have info suggesting otherwise? Also, White43, I have to hand it to you, thanks for keeping the list at the top. Great job. Been in and out of town lately. I think we may make it to 12 tyers. 9 is my count. I still haven’t decided what to tie. Come on folks. 3 more spots left!!!

17

Sounds close enough for me, Betty. Now I’ve gotta find me a yellow calf tail, dyed that is, not stained! JGW

18

One place shows it as the “white tailed black gnat palmered”, my book shows it as “white tail palmer gnat”. I’ll go to the library and see if I can come up with Nixons book. This panfishing is all new to me! My brain needs a mid winter challange.

You are fine. Betty, don’t worry about running to the library. That’ll be fine. I think your pattern may be Nixonish but still holds true to a Nixon type pattern.

I would like to join this swap. I will tie a Beaux.
