o.k. i haven't done this in a minute but anyone down for streamer swap? i'm not talking about little streamers such as wooley buggers and various 1 inch type treats. i'm talking about something with a little more size, whether it be on a sizeable single hook or an articulated type. i haven't been tying much since we moved out of our house where i had my own man room and into our small apartment, but i'm do. i would also prefer it to be something that is a known producer and since this is my swap i would like to see them in troutie type colors. olives, blacks, yellows and whites are the cream of the crop for me. i think 10 tiers would be sufficient and the deadline will be march 1stish. if we can't get enough interest within a weeks time then fuck it.

yes, Im down! Im in for an olive articulated pattern like my sculpin murk dragon, or something classic like the T&A rainbow
Ill leave mine as 2 hook flies, and let whoever gets them decide to cut one off or not
I'll get in on this as well. Something articulated...either a proven producer (peanut envy, boogie man, articulated McCune's, Mikes pecs) or perhaps my own fleeing crayfish pattern.
In with what I call a Congo Muddler. Its basically an oversized Kiwi Muddler with a Congo Hair collar instead of Deer Hair. I'm partial to this color but I can tie it in any color you'd like.
Seeing that I'm going to be totally outclassed, I'll say I'm tying my best, but likely a shitty, version of this: View attachment 37721
Monster. Pretty sure I'll make mine an articuated large profile pattern.
The articulated ones were an epic fail. Did tie up some long tailed bunnies with a bit of deer hair mohawk and fish skullz. Hope not to disappoint.
J, as of yet undetermined. Let's say BIG, and articulated. Tell me, hook front, rear, both and let the user clip them. I may do a shank up front (extra mass, extra splash) and an articualted rear hook.
I do not want to catch a brown trout. I want to catch a REALLY BIG BROWN TROUT. Colors I have materials in are brown/tan/ginger with a few different options. I like the big bushy head on this one with the rubber streaming off the sides.
I can do two hooks. I happen to have some pretty long shanked hooks for the front. Might be a bit of leverage for the fly taster. Here we have to clip one off. I've always wondered about "short strikes". Seems that most predatory fish wanting to eat other fish are not going to be tail nipping. They are going to be head chomping.
we filled up quickly so let's try not to drop the ball on this one but if for some reason someone has to bail then just give me a courtisy shout. thanks guys
Sweet fly! I love stories about pattern development. Ill fish the shit out of that fly on the upper sauk for bulls anyday!
