Shack Nasties Stillwater Swap

[LBM]

I refuse to let the Shack Nasties get the best of me during this weather. For want of a better way to spend my evenings, I'm hosting a stillwater swap. The following rules apply:
1. Favorite stillwater fly.
2. Open to the first TWENTY tiers who sign-up.
3. Cut-off date will be 15 February.
4. Send your completed flies to
Larry Mangum
2528 North 4350 West
Plain City, Ut 84404



My contribution will be Denny Rickard's "Stillwater Nymph".



Larry

[Dennis]

I'm in with the CBS Leech.

[cheech]

I think I'll bite here. I'll think of something.

[Jerritt]

im in.. not sure what im going to tie yet but ill think of somthing. this will be my first swap, ive been wanting to participate. i finaly got the strength and dexterity back in my right hand after the accident. so im in

[Kurt]

Count me in. I will have to decide on a pattern later. Thanks, Kurt

[Fred]

I'm in with a natural zonker.

[ROOSTER]

I am in on this one. I am not that great of a tier, but I have a couple of stillwater paterns I feel would work. Do you want us to tie up just one, or a couple for each participant?

[Doug S.]

if you tie this bug.."Clete's Cameltoe Emerger" Doug S will vouch for this bugs effectiveness".....No one will want to fish the "other" 18 bugs for sure..:)

Hope your enjoying your new "digs" brother

[Jerritt]

ill be tying a krystal black mohair leech

[cheech]

I would tie up a Llama leech, but you all would laugh at how simple it looks. I think I'll tie Staynor' s Ducktail. It may change, but that's it for now.

[Fred]

If it catches fish, who cares? tie some up.

I hope someone can join and tie up some of those spectrumized damsel flies Jeff Brooks created. Herb?

[LBM]

Here is the line-up so far:

1. LBM - Stillwater Nymph
2. Fshfanatic - Clete's Cameltoe Emerger
3. Dennis - CBS Leech
4. Cheech - Staynor's Ducktail
5. Jerritt - Krystal Black Mohair Leech
6. Kurt - ????????
7. Fred - Natural Zonker
8. Rooster - ?????????????


Eight slots filled, 12 to go. Please send at least 19 of your chosen pattern. 20 if you want to get one of your own back to complete the set.



Larry

[Brown Bonkers]

Im In.....I'll tie a Berry Purple Goat, If I can find a couple more feathers.

[Minivan]

I'm in. I have never participated in a swap. So somebody will have to walk me through it. I will probably tie something obscure; possibly a white light/white heat.

[steelie]

I was hesitant at first due to a lack of time, but since cheech is in, I know I'll have a few extra weeks............ haha j/k cheech

I know it's supposed to be my favorite pattern, that would probably be a halloween, and that's kind of boring. I'll probably go with a damsel or a dragon.

[LBM]

Ok, we've got 11 of the 20. Here is the latest lineup:

Here is the line-up so far:

1. LBM - Stillwater Nymph
2. Fshfanatic - Clete's Cameltoe Emerger
3. Dennis - CBS Leech
4. Cheech - Staynor's Ducktail
5. Jerritt - Krystal Black Mohair Leech
6. Kurt - ????????
7. Fred - Natural Zonker
8. Rooster - ?????????????
9. Brown Bonkers - Berry Purple Goat
10. Minivan - Something obscure
11. Steelie - Damsel or a Dragon

9 slots left. Hard to believe we can't get 20 bored tiers, especially with this kind of weather.


Larry

[cheech]

Fshfanatic, you better not use Mustads or I will beat you into an Arizona trailer dwelling redneck pulp;) I plan on fishing that fly, and I won't be able to do it if it's on a Mustad...

Yep that's right, I refuse to fish Mustads. If Grizz can make a personal decision not to fish the Provo for a year, I can make a similar decision not to fish Mustads..... or Sheltads for that matter!!!

Geezze Cheech,

You been hanging aroung MWSpearo again ? He must be rubbing off on you. Talk about elitist???

Just razzin' ya buddy....

Lonnie

[Grizz]

I'm not going to fish the low or mid pro for the entire year. I can't distance myself from those tasty upper reaches! 8))

I'm also a cheap ass & buy mustad more so than Tiemco / Daichi. They do alright for me ............I guess, but when I'm tying the "BIG-BUG", it's 200r's fer sure.

P's

[cheech]

Grizzo- I hear you on the upper reaches. You should try ABI hooks sold by Dennis at www.flydesk.com. I guarantee you won't be dissapointed. $7 per 100, japanese chemically sharpened, etc. I'll be tying my swap fly with these babies.

Lonnie- MWS has never been a good influence on anyone... I guess it's rubbing off. DAMN him!!

[Lonnie]

Just don't start wearing the speedo, and it will be OK....

[lone Palm Rods]

Hell from what I hear you don't get out to fish anyway, between building rods and starting to sell rod components and tie flies.
What does it really matter what hooks he uses. You won't be able too use them anyway ! At least the elitist ~ MWSpearo gets out on the water.

[Johnny]

OK, I'm in. I have no idea what I'm going to tie but sign me up.

[nhancock]

I am in with a peacock herl bugger.

[Fishin' Junkie]

I'd like to join the swap. I'm having Lasik in two days and don't plan on tying for a week or so after, but I should still have plenty of time to get the flies done. I'll be tying some type of Chironomid pattern, not sure what just yet, but I'll narrow it down soon.

BTW, I'm still trying to find an address of where to send my flies for the "Winter Top Water" swap. If anyone has the address could you please send an email through the forum letting me know where to send them. Thanks!

Tight Lines,

FJ

[Jerritt]

well i got my flies done and they will be in the mail in the next couple of days. im looking forward to seeing and trying all these new flies. unfortunately it wont be for about another 6 months. i have been cleared by my dr. so im off to ft. lewis and then back to iraq. ill be enclosing 20 flies, if there are any left over, you can keep them. until next time ill be dreaming of fly fishing... jerritt

[cheech]

Hey Jerritt, I've got more stillwater flies than I will use. I'll hook you up with a fair share for when you get back. Let me know what you want. You have a coupon for 2 or 3 dozen from me. Send me your addy to bassonthefly@yahoo.com.

Cheech

[Doug S.]

If they are those seal-buggers you gave me one of at the berry you can send them to me...:) :) :)

Thanks Larry.

If there's extra, you can give mine to Jerritt too.

Larry

[cheech]

I'll make it. I finally got some of the materials that I needed. They will be done some time within the next year;)

[Dennis]

Mine will be in the mail tomorrow.

[LBM]

Mine will be in the mail tomorrow.
Dennis, I need some hooks and will be in SLC Saturday between 10 AM and 11. If you're going to be home, I'll come by and pick them up along with a hook order.


Larry

[Dennis]

Larry, You've got a deal. I'll throw in an extra fly for you for saving me the stamp. I should be around at that time. I can not think of any place I need to be at that time......'course it's early in the week.
Dennis

[Dennis]

Fanatic........I searched through my e-mails and I can see the one that you inquired as to how you could order and my response to you but I'm sorry I can not find any e-mail with an order. Send it again and I'll get them right out.

[Fish a fly]

OK GUYS, TODAY IS THE SUSPENSE TO HAVE YOUR FLYS IN THE MAIL. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY SINCE THIS 6 FEB UPDATE. SORRY, BUT YOU'RE ALL ADULTS. I'M NOT GOING TO LET THIS DRAG ON FOREVER. NEXT SATURDAY, I'M MAILING OUT THE FLIES I'VE RECEIVED. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WHERE KIND ENOUGH TO GET YOUR FLIES TO ME, YOU'LL GET BACK AS MANY FLIES AS YOU SENT, SOME OF WHICH WILL BE DUPLICATES.


LARRY

[Johnny]

I am ashamed. Mine are done and on the way.

[LBM]

Any More bugs make it in??
No, I got an e-mail from Fishin Junkie. He promised to mail them and should have them by Saturday. What ever I have after Saturday's mail arrives will be repackaged and mailed back out. Sorry, but I'm not going to let this go on forever. A suspense date was set, a regular status report was published, and I sent e-mails to everyone whom I hadn't heard from a week before the suspense date. Thanks to those participants who got their flies in on time. You'll get back as many as you sent, but some will be duplicates.


Larry

[steelie]

Since I'm a habitual procrastinator/lazy SOB, I didn't get my flies in on time. I even told Larry I'd have them mailed last saturday, then I read his post extending the drop dead date a week and the procrastinator in me took over again..........

My bugs are now in the mail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry all.

[Fish a fly]

Sorry guys I had a really busy week and they didn't make it in the mail till yesterday. They should get there by Saturday.

[cheech]

Mine are in the mail today. If they don't get there by saturday, just send them back. I'll send them to Lonnie for his swap;)

[Lonnie]

Cheech,

Works for me but everyone else might get pissed....;-)

Lonnie

[Johnny]

According to the UPS web site, mine is in Ogden and is scheduled for delivery today. Because of my procrastination I had to send this from San Diego. FYI, there are places in the world that aren't covered in snow.

[Fishin' Junkie]

Larry,

My flies are in the mail, and they should be there tomorrow, or Sat. at the very latest. I apologize for any inconvenience to you or the rest of the tiers out there. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone tied up!

FJ

[Fred]

Now we know what Minivan meant by "something obscure".

They don't even exist!

That's very very obscure. It doesn't get any more obscure than that. LMAO

You're the man, Minivan!

[LBM]

I got flies from Johnny and Steelie in the mail yesterday. We'll see what arrives today and Saturday morning. They'll be bagged and mailed Monday AM. Thanks to everyone who participated.


Larry

[LBM]

What was the final outcome? How many tiers actually got their bugs in by Saturday?


Fanatic, we ended up with 12. Flies were dropped off at the Hill AFB post office yesterday afternoon on my way home from work. Sorry we didn't make the original goal of 20. Everyone should receive the same number of flies back that they sent, but some will be duplicates. Thanks again to everone who participated.

Larry

[Fred]

I got mine, Larry. Thanks! There are some nice patterns in there.

Which one is the "Clete's Cameltoe Emerger"? What does it look like? I couldn't find the label that indicated that fly?
