Not yet,
I didn't think anyone would even be close yet to getting them tied.

don't worry, I'm not. I was just wondering.

I need to send off the winter on top flies first. so there's no hurry as far as I'm concerned.

Mike the swap is open until the end of January and I need to check on it.

[JayMorr]

I hope that helps Dave ;)


JayMorr

[nightfish]

So with all these double posts, do you guys have to tie twice as many flies??

[JayMorr]

LOL Nick! You should'nt be seeing double posts anymore. Let me know.


JayMorr

[Utah DaveII]

BTW...who has their flies done yet?

I've got Trav's and I've finished my group. When I get enough people telling me there done I'll send out an address.

[Drake]

UD2, I have 2 more to tie up, so I will be done tonight.

Dave, did you want us to type something up and send it with the fly's? Or would it be easier for you to have us type it up and email it to you? That way you can cut and paste everybody's recipe/instructions into one doc and send it back out to everyone.

[Utah DaveII]

I was originally thinking it would be good to do one note, but Trav went to the trouble to each individual fly. I think I will do one master sheet.

[Lonnie]

Type out your instructions, Select a small font (8) and copy and Paste the instructions about 12 times . Print out 1 page. Cut each into small rectangles and punch each fly through the paper. Voila!

[Drake]

...I think I will do one master sheet.

I think that is the way to go. One master sheet that you can email out to everyone. I would rather have an e-copy anyway. Knowing me, I would probably loose 6 of the 12 little peices of paper.

[jdubya]

done..........

[Fred]

SUPER DAVE!

Where are you, Man? I tried to email you to get your addy. I want to send my bugs out tomorrow if possible.

Check your mailbox.

[Utah DaveII]

Check your e-mail

[Drake]

Check your e-mail

Dave, I also need your address. Shoot me an email.

[raposaNegra]

where we are supposed to send our flies?

I am ready to mail!

[JayMorr]

Dave flies are done. I will bring them tomorrow with me.


JayMorr

[nhancock]

Sorry to do this so late in the swap but I am not going to get my finished on time. I have an urgent need at work that needs to be addressed and It will occupy most of my time for the next several week

Hey Jaymorr. I can help out here if you want. I have a killer BWO that I could do. I'm not half as busy with work as I thought I would be. I could have them in the mail tomorrow. Let me know

[JayMorr]

Right on Cheech. Thanks for jumping in! I guess just hang on to them and we can meet up for lunch and give them to Dave sometime this week.

Cool. I will be tying the bunny BWO emerger #20.

[Sedge]

I did not get in on this swap, but I would love to see a copy of the instruction sheet if it is not considered to contain any proprietary information, since I am wanting to get fully prepared for March and April. Sending it over email or posting it would be very much appreciated.

If Dave will email it to me I will take photos of everyone's flies and I can send the list over with the pics. I will also post them on my personal homepage. I will let you know.


JayMorr

[Utah DaveII]

That would be cool

[jdubya]

Dave, are you gonna tell use where to mail them?? Should i wait till the next stonefly meeting??

[Sedge]

That effort would be very much appreciated, thanks.

[cheech]

UD- I finished my flies last night. I am going to drop them off with spencer today around 12:30. They will be there for your pleasure whenever you want to go snag them.

Cheech

[raposaNegra]

are in the mail..... arrg.... I just realized I forgot to include the recipe....

[JayMorr]

Dave if you want I can drop them off at Orvis and leave them with Spencer. Let me know what you want to do. Either way I have them with me.


JayMorr

[Utah DaveII]

Maybe we can get together for lunch today or something?

[Utah DaveII]

Just come to the next Stoenfly meeting, and bring them.

[Trav]

I have Beatis dancing in my head!

Trav

[Señorfish]

Dave

My flies are also finished. I brought them to lunch today (1/30) but Jay
told me you were out fishing.

I'll give them to you next week at lunch

[JayMorr]

BTW Dave, I dropped them off for you. You can talk to Spencer and he will give them to you. Thanks.

[stef]

Did you get my package? Because they are NOT my flies....I was a slacker and didn't have time to tie. Instead I sent in some flies from Rainy's Flies. Each swap person should get 3 flies instead of 1. Hope that makes up for it.

[Lonnie]

So long as you didn't send Pavlic's BWO's, I think everyone will be fine ;-)

Lonnie

[Utah DaveII]

I don't think I ever got your flies?

The rest of the flies are pretty much ready to go!

A few flies did not have recipe's for those who did not send recipes could you e-mail them to me.

Stef...Three flies are OK

[Utah DaveII]

I'm hearing nothing from jnillson and tightloop. Everybody else's stuff is all ready to go. I don't think they are going to send anything. I have everyone else's package ready to go. Should I keep waiting for those two. IF not I got a lot of extra flies can someone tell me what we should do with a few of them.

[Drake]

I know that Tightloop is pretty swamped right now, so I don't think you will get anything from him (he's a Tax Man).

My vote is for you to mail them out.

I would say that the swap meister keeps the extras, though you could give me a few. ;-)

Dave, I sent my recipe to you awhile ago. Do you still have it?

[Trouty]

If you need someone else I could tie some up and bring them by your house tonight or tomorrow. How many do you need?

[Utah DaveII]

That would be fine. I know we live by each other, but do you know where I live?

Drake, I might have it, but I recieve about 35 e-mails a day. So if you ould send it again it would sure help.

[Utah DaveII]

Some of you should be getting your flies today in the mail. As you will see not everyone did a recipe sheet. I do have most of the recipes though and will try to post them at one time. I will start with my own.

Warren's CDC emerger.

Tail: mayfly brown micro zelon and woodduck flank.
Abdomen: Olive thread
thorax. grey olive superfine dubbing
Wing: natural cdc feathers

Tying tips this is a real simple patter where the zelon is tied in first and the woodduck is tied over the top. The thread is advanced up to the shank where the wing is tied in slopping backwards at a 45 degree angle. The thorax is added and wing is folded over the thorax and tied down in front. The only trick to the fly is to wrape some thread in front of the wing to get it to flare a little bit. Whip finish and walla, the fly is done.

Use top ride or frogs fanny floatant when fishing this fly.

[Fred]

Nice swap, Super Dave.

Great patterns from the other swapsters. Really nice work.

Mine is a simple Comparadun. Olive-Gray Dubbing, brown antron, and deer hair tied comparadun style. I first learned about the pattern from Christian Howard (sp?) when he worked at Spinner's Fall. It has produced well during BWO hatches on the Provo.

[raposaNegra]

Quil BWO Hackle Stacker

Thread: 14-0 Olive Gordons Griffith.
Tail: Oilve antron tied in sparse with mixed length fibers.
Abdomon: Grizzly Quill
Wing: Hackle Stacked in a color you like.
Thorax: Olive dubbing wrapped around wing.

[JayMorr]

Hands down the best swap Ive been a part of in a long time. Thanks for the great flies. Dave thanks for hosting this one. It was a lot of fun. Cant wait to start tying up some new patterns.

JayMorr

[stef]

1. Fly to Thailand

2. Set up and equip large factory facility, hire and train over 100 locals who don't speak english.

3. Acquire vast quantities of suppliers

4. Arrange and deal with customs, foreign governments, and paperwork for all steps of the process.

5. Seek out and hire innovators.

6. Organize a distribution system and warehouse.

7. Send flies to UDII

[Trouty]

LaFontaine Halo Mayfly Emerger

Hook: Standard Dry Fly Hook
Tag: Clear Antron
Tail: Marabou
Body: Superfine or Seal-Substitute (some translucence is better)
Wing Case: Closed-cell foam
Spike: Orange Deer Hair


Apply floatant only to wingcase and spike,
not to the body. The body should hang below
the surface. When a mayfly opens its wings it
pumps a red/orange fluid into the wings. It onlys lasts a few seconds but is one of the things fish key in on.

[Utah DaveII]

You are the only person that has not got their flies yet. I was hoping to give them to you Saturday, but it looks like the meeting is going to moved back to March 6. So if you want I'll send them out.

[stef]

I'd love them if you get a chance. If not, no biggie.

[Drake]

I am not sure if Dave was going to email the recipes out or not. Here is mine:

The BWO Quigley Cripple:

Hook: Standard Dryfly Hook 14-18 (I used a 16)
Thread: 8/0 olive
Tail: Brown Zelon, Antron, or Darlon (I tied some with zelon & some with darlon)
Rib: Fine copper wire
Body: Brown turkey biot
Thorax: Olive dubbing
Wing: Darlon- Light blue dun
Hackle: Dark Blue dun

Drake- Nice pattern. I like to tie my BWO emergers with a two tone body too. Great concept.

I forgot to put my name on mine. It's the one with a Yong style body, and a bunny emerger tuft.

Hook: #20 scud hook
Thread: 10/0 Olive
Body: Olive Coats & Clark thread
Thorax: Super fine olive dubbing
Wingcase/tuft: Meduim dun snowshoe hare's foot

[Drake]

When I got the fly's I was looking at your fly trying to figure out what material was used for the wing. If I had known it was yours, I wouldn't have wondered, I would have known it was bunny. :0)

So, do most shops have snowshoe hair?

Do you fish that fly behind something, or all alone? Gink? It looks like a sweet pattern.
