SWAP IS NOW CLOSED

Tie your best warm water bug. Anything for smallies, gills, sunfish, crappie, white bass you know all those little devils of the warm waters that are so much fun to catch. I just got a new creek rod and I am raring for the warm up of spring! I will hold this open till March 20th. Flies are due in my mailbox by April 20th. Must have self addressed STAMPED envelope for return because I avoid the post office at all costs.

Here’s a twist ~ best tie (I’m the judge):smiley: gets some cool tying material from my bench.

Can I get in with a freshwater Gotcha? These are killer on carp, bluegills, crappie and bass.

Heck, I’m in. I’ll tie a little purple panfish minnow pattern. Doesn’t look like much, but I promise it’ll catch gills and crappie!

Creek fishin’ huh… i thought about making either a craw or hellgramite - have to be my 2 favorites for small/skinny moving water. I went with a Dubbed HellGee pattern on a #8 nymph hook. It is kind of a mix between a scud, hellgramite & stonefly. Doesn’t really look like one or the other but ‘passes’ for all three in a pinch :wink: and has caught me everything from carp to redhorse to smallmouth.

Got 3 done tonight! :cool:

17

Sent address off to 3 of you. Please let me know that you got it. I was having trouble with the PM area of the site.

18

Got it! They will be in the mail today

Mine are done! Whipped 'em up quick after work. This is a super simple pattern… it doesn’t look like much, but I can promise it does catch fish! The crappie and gills around here like it.
Here’s what they’ll look like, except they’re purple with silver eyes!

Flygal, shoot me your address and I will get these out to ya.
