Another Fly Swap

**Bead Head** · September 5th, 2006, 10:46 PM

I've finished my flies for the coho swap and the rest are starting to arrive so I want to get another swap under way. I was thinking of a your favorite trout fly, this could be wet , dry , nymph, streamer anything you like to catch trout on. But I'm also open to suggestions.
Let me know what you think
Thanks

Trout flies sounds great. I'm in. However I can't really tie my "favorite" fly, as I have a few go-to trout flies I use depending on type water (still or flowing) and type of presentation used, so I would prefer it if we concentrated on one style. It would just be easier on me. It's really up to you tho', you're the one organizing this and I for one appreciate it.

This sounds like something I'd be intersted in. Can someone post a collective picture of all the flies they received when then get them all together? I'd love to see the variations between them.

I have to agree with Professori, I have certain flies I use for still water that almost always produce for me and then I have my river and stream flies, soo many fly boxes I don't know what to do.

anyway I am in for this one also.

I'll post pictures once all the flies are mailed to me but for now here's what I got:
ProfessorI #8 Mickey Finns

And I've tied up some KCK

I'll post more as they come.
In regards to the next swap would there be interest in doing two patterns one for still water and one for streams? We could close the swap to 6 tyers and each tie 10 flies 5 for stillwater and 5 for streams. Anyways let me know what you think
thanks

I'm in...Although if the swap could be spaced out just a little more, as I'm up to my ears tying at the moment, before coho season gets into full swing

ops: 8) ....Got to pay for those new sticks some how!

If not, then I'll find a way to sneak a few trout patterns in there.

Finder :wink:

So back to the second swap...
Hows about two patterns for trout one stillwater and the other for streams? We can leave it open for 10 tyres until October 1st and a due date of November1st.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks Bead Head

I'm in. Nine of stillwater, nine of stream?

**Bead Head** · September 17th, 2006, 05:38 PM

yup

**Bead Head** · October 8th, 2006, 07:39 AM

So far it looks like its three of us in this swap
Bead Head (host)
Professori
Nostridamus
So I figure will each tie 18 flies 9stillwater and 9 stream flies and divide them up amongst the three of us

. If anyone is still interested due date for this swap is November 1st so send PM if you want in.
thanks
