Well I haven’t been in a swap for awhile, and wets are my favorites so I would like to jump in this one. I will tie either a royal coachman or some sort of soft hackle maybe a little wired bodied job that has been a killer this year

HC yes I did see it. It is fantastic. I just recently started tying spiders. So maybe not up to the same quality as his. . He is a good tyer. Thanks for letting me join in on this one. John
bassman , I got interested in them about 3 weeks ago in the “The Partridge and Yellow- A Classic Trout Fly” post. After reading JeffHamm, cholcomb13, Donald Nicolson, Arnie & Ron Eagle Elk’s threads, THEY! got me hook line & tippet. I ended up PMing Jeff, Ron & Donald for book recommendations. I’ve got like 4-5 books coming from England & here. The book’s in England were REALLY cheap… until you converted the # over to the almighty $. :lol:
If I’m sharing the blame for converting you, then I’m in good company.
Those books from England are really cheap (until the conversion and shipping). Did you get the book by Roger Fogg? Wait till you start to look for the older books, both for content and historical information. Then the price really goes up.
Swap is shaping up nicely. Very nice variety of flies and good tiers all around.
Yep! your a big part of the blame, I did order that book of Fogg’s but it looks like I have to wait a couple of months till it’s arrival. I really like Hughes book & love the way Sylvester Nemes writes. I received two of his so far, I’ve got two more of his coming Mostly interested in tying books but I got to tell ya the book “The Soft-Hackled Fly, a trout fisherman’s guide” by Nemes is really a fun read.
