Flyswap II

[Trout4x]

I can hold one if enough interest. It would be a midge one as well.

Let me know!

I can go 15 as well.


Trout4x

[mcgx2]

I would be interested in a midge swap. Just let me know the details when you get them (how many to tie for, deadlines, etc.)

thanks, mcg

[Trout4x]

We will make the final details when we see how many are in.

2 at this point.

Pick your fly now.


Trout4x

[mcgx2]

I'll tie a Salt & Pepper Midge, a little pattern that I came up with that works extreemly well.

mcg

[Trout4x]

2 are in room for 13 more.

[Trout4x]

Anymore that are interested?

[bfox]

I am very new to this and could use some enlightenment. How does this work? I don't know that I have any "secret" killer flies to share but would certainly be willing to tie something up. The problem is that you could probably go get it at the corner drug store. I'm just getting a bit more serious about flyfishing and have a lot to learn. Old dog new tricks.

Thanks for any info

[icthys]

I'm in the first swap but I think if an extra week is given for the second swap I could enter both.

Count me in I'll tie a simple black zebra midge.

[brownbear]

I'm in. I think I'll ty an olive Serendipity. Let me know the details.

[raposaNegra]

I'd like to participate! Are we doing adults or nymphs? There is a new CDC delta wing midge pattern in Fly Rod and Reel I'd like to try...

[Larry S.]

I need the practice.

Maybe I'll try a Shucking Midge or something along that order.

[Trouty]

I've got a couple of great midge patterns but am not sure how you operate your swaps. Let me know what it entails and I would probably be interested in sharing one of them.

[Trout4x]

Be sure to attach a label on each of your flies and to put your flies in a crushproof container. Keep in mind that some patterns may be larger than yours, so make sure that your container will be large enough (i.e., I've found that small Altoids cans are not always big enough).

Include either: · a return self-addressed stamped envelope or ·enough cash or a check to cover postage/container. Priority mail is a good deal at US $3 and includes the packaging.

Do NOT use metered postage (either a stamp or a sticker you get from the post office). The post office won't ship any metered or dated postage unless it is shipped on the same day. So if you include postage make sure that you use stamps.

We have 15 participants, so you'll need to send me at least 14 flies When you are done with your flies (or before) email me a pattern recipe, tying instructions, fishing tips and/or other commentary about your fly.

In return you will get one of each of the flies entered.

Any questions email me.

If you haven't picked a fly now is the time.

[bcsort]

I'm contributing 15 Yong Specials for the other swap, but I think I can contribute another 15 for this swap.

[Trouty]

I can do either the improved buzz ball that jdubya is doing for the other midge swap or else the variegated midge larva. Both are great winter (and summer) flies. I'll do the variegated midge larva unless someone else wants it and then I'll do the improved buzz ball.

If you have not emailed me please do so.


flyfishing9@attbi.com


Thanks,

Trout4x

[Trouty]

It would be nice if everyone would send in an e-mail so 4X can get the pertinent info to all of us. Be nice to have the flies back before January to start out the new year with some new patterns to test! Thanks all ~ Good tying!

[Larry S.]

What's holding up the rest of you? ;o)

[nightfish]

I'm done too. Don't forget a couple extra flies to tip the swapmeister.

[Trout4x]

Waiting on 5 emails you know if you have sent a confirmation.

Thanks to everyone.


Trout4x

Hey Trout4X, it looks like you lost a couple of people from your swap. If you like I'll tie up a pattern for ya and join in. Let me know

[Trout4x]

I have a 24 hour deadline and I will fill the spots.

[fishn]

I have the flies completed and I need an address where to send them, if it is not to late. I have 24 patterns tied up and I need to know how many to send someone. I apologize for any problems my screwed up e-mail account has caused. I have now fixed the problem and everyone can e-mail me.

I will send the flies today if I can get the address.

[Trout4x]

Glad to see you back and made your confirmation in time.

Remember the deadline is the 14th of Dec.

[gambler1621]

Trout4x,

I tried to send you an e-mail to tell you that I am still interested in tying up some mercury midges, if you don't get confirmation from the last person in your swap. The email I sent you was returned. If you need me to tie them, just let me know

gambler1621@hotmail.com

[Trout4x]

I sent you an email with the details please let me know if you received it.

We are back to 17 entries.


Everything is a go for those that I have contacted.

[FlyFisherPA]

i'd like to join and will be tying Tan Magic Midge Larva, as seen in Advanced Fly Tying By: A.K. Best. Will we need to send any money for postage? i recently had to send like 1.50 for postage.

[Trout4x]

This swap is over just getting ready to mail flies back out to everyone.

I will be doing another in a couple weeks.



Thanks,

Trout4x

[Trouty]

What kind of swap are you planning on doing?

[Trout4x]

Email me.

flyfishing9@attbi.com

[raposaNegra]

the address where to send my flies. I have been trying to send them since tuesday but the address was on my work computer and they laid us all off.... (that is why I was out of town, job hunting!)

Reply to me offline

Thanks

[Trout4x]

I sent you an email with my address, did you get it?

Trout4x

[Trout4x]

I have not heard from you nor I have I received your flies.


To all in the Swap:

I will mail out the flies and when I receive raposaNegra flies I will mail the remaining fly out to each of you and the I will mail raposaNegra's flies to you so please still mail them.

I want to say thanks to everyone for being patient on waiting for your flies. I think the wait will have been worth it.

Any questions please ask. flyfishing9@attbi.com

raposaNegra please make contact with me I have been unable to get a hold of you.

Trout4x

[raposaNegra]

since I am holding up the swap. Trout4x I do not see your mail. If you still would like me to send in my flies, e-mail me at lackkevi@inconnu.isu.edu . I can have them in the mail at any time, they are boxed and ready to go. To all I apologize for holding this process up.

[Trout4x]

Larry S. your flies are at the shop pick up any time.

Everyone else your flies have been mailed. I will mail the last fly out when I receive it.


Trout4x

[Larry S.]

I picked up my flies today. They all look great but only about half of them have labels on them. I hope it is not because of the tyers doubt in his ability to tie a good pattern. I would not be ashamed to take credit for any of them.

Bruce-

Where do you get that fancy card stock for your cards? Hell, they look as good as your fly!

[Trouty]

they came in the mail. They look great! Am looking forward to trying them out.

Like Larry S said, only about half of them have labels so I'll have to wait until the tying intructions come out so I match them up.

Hey Larry, on what waters have you tried that trailing shuck puppy of yours? Its different than any others I've tied and I find that intriguing. How has it compared to other standard midge patterns and what other colors do you like to tie it up in? Go ahead and shoot me an e-mail if you would prefer not post it here.

Thanks again T4X, the swap went great. Sorry about losing contact with Raposa - its too bad he got laid-off (that sucks!) but you shouldn't have to eat the extra expense and work of sending out another packet to everyone.

[LIV2FSH]

They all look GREAT!

Thanks to Trout4X for everything he has done. Good job!

Thanks to all that tied. I will be spending some time on the vise stocking my boxes with them!

Larry thanks for the kind comments. I'm glad you like them. I used MS Publisher to put them together. I just used the business card template and added my own stuff. I cut the Uotf logo off the home page and pasted it in.(With Mike's permission of course!)

I just printed them on Avery printable magnet sheets that I picked up at Staples and then just cut them out. It was pretty simple really!

Tight Lines, Bruce

[bfox]

The flies came today. Thanks all, especially Trout4x for all your work. I am respnsible for one of the unlabled flies. This has been my first swap and i have a little to learn about protcol. I'm not sure I can ever measure up to Liv2fish though. They all look great.
I'm anxious to try these out.
Thanks,

bfox

[Trouty]

LIV2FISH's card certainly raised the bar on cards didn't he. His fly was pretty nice looking too. Better than just good looking though, I'm sure it will catch fish.

[nightfish]

Got mine!!!

Thanks T4X for running this one, and thanks to everybody who contributed. There's some nice bugs in this box. I'll be trying these out this coming week.

BTW, here's the recipe for mine:

Hook: Tiemco 200r #22
Head: 2mm black tungsten against the eye, x-small glass ruby behind
Body:8/0 black, ribbed with x-fine red wire

I also coated the entire body with cement.

[Larry S.]

Between you and Jim Lake(Jim @ Round Rocks) I guess I will have to pretty up the discount cards I made for our tying club. Jim wondered why mine weren't in color and after seeing yours I'll probably get glares at the next meeting.

Trouty-

I've had luck with it at Spring Hollow(3rd Dam-Logan River) as well as the Henry's Fork below the bridge at Ashton to name a few places. The colors are pretty basic but I have used olive grizzly hackle but like the regular grizz better. Brown is also good.


Anyone wanting tying instructions for the pattern send me an e-mail address and I'll send you a Wd. Perf. formatted page along with a pic.

Thanks again Noel.

[Trout4x]

to feel bad I didn't label my as well, I forgot to pu them on, I have the labels here right next to the cheese! I was just in a hurry to get the flies out and forgot.

Larry your fly caught fish on the Green today, I was able to get them to come to the surface with your fly. Thanks

[Señorfish]

Trout4x- Thanks for the swap, you all tie great flies.
I'm sorry my fly was so plain and dull, it works though.

Thanks to everyone

[Trout4x]

How many have not received their flies yet?

How many has had the time to fish with them?

[Larry S.]

I have been too busy with this rush order for 15 more foam flies to be in by Friday! Actually, I just finished and made cards to boot. Not the neat magnetic stuff Bruce used(wish I had his money ;^)......... )but I think they'll pass.

[Wooleybugger]

I received my flies over the weekend. They all look great!! Thanks. I tied the beadhead. I found the pattern in a fly tying magazine a few years ago. I will be sure to label my flies next time.......sorry didn't know. Trout4x thanks for all your work in putting together this flyswap.

Wooley

[Trouty]

Were you going to have everyone submit tying/fishing instructions in Word and e-mail them to you so you can send them out? It would be useful if not too much work. You could forward them on to me if you wanted to and I would merge them together.

[fishn]

All the flies look great. Thanks for all the work that went into the swap. I forgot to send tags on my flies also, Sorry. I guess that what happens when it is you first fly swap.

My flies were the black zebra midges with the orange thread as the ribbing. They have been working great lately on the Green. So get out there and fish them. Good luck, and thanks again.

[Trout4x]

Everyone could email me the patterns and I could compile them.

[Trout4x]

raposaNegra your flies came in.

Everyone else if you would like your last fly I will need you to email me your address so I can mail out your last fly. If I do not hear from you I will assume you are going to let me keep the last one.

Please use this email address and please put "LAST FLY" in the subject line. Once again please put "LAST FLY" in the subject line.
