Hey guys, I was thinkin it would be pretty sweet to have ourselves a collection of trusty winter trout flies. This swap will be for rivers, whatever fly you have found to be the best fly for you in the winter. Nymphs, Streamers, and Dries should all be included. One pattern a piece and up to 10 people. Anyone who wants to get in to some fishes and warm up their vises are welcomed!
Deadline will be somewhere around Jan. 1

Oh what the hell, I'll jump in too. No better way to keep the interest going than tying flies when I'm not fishing. I'm gonna tie up a little bead head nymph with an ostrich herl wrapped body. I forgot the name, but tumble it in a stream or hang it down in a lake and you'll catch fish. I dub the herl together and reinforce it with the tying thread and it comes out more durable than the herl alone. I might rib them or just let the fuzzy body do the work.
Just finished tying a dozen. Little glass beads, fuzzy ostrich herl body, I've used them and I can catch fish. You anglers with some skill should do well tumbling them in current or hanging them in stillwater. I'll send them as soon as I get the address.
Looking through the boxes I think I will tie up some Zug Bugs. They have worked on the few rivers I have fished and they account for some nice stillwater trout as well.
Swapmeiser Connor H., I mailed mine to you today at mid day. They should arrive at 2255 in a day or two. No need to send one of my own back to me, that should be two extras for you plus a bonus bug or two.
i should be able to get mine out tomorrow, and just from here to moses lake would only take about a day so expect them wednesday, possibly thursday but thats a long time just for shipping an hour away.
Zach M, in the past two days you could have walked the flies right to Connor H's door. Don't tell me that the weather is that bad down in the mecca of Gig Harbor...
Well we have a new batch of snow this morning, so I guess I will start tying. Seems like everyone else is already finished. I better get my butt in gear. :beathead:
damn i need to get started you guys are kickin my butt!!
next week ill get em in the mail!!!
