Next Fly Swap Update

rpnsteelheadlps · 09-22-2003, 08:21 PM

We have 13 people interested in this fly swap. I need to hear back from you all if this amount is ok. This would be a total of 13 flies, the 13th fly would go to Jordan.

I nominate ZaQ to tie us 14 of this pattern

rpnsteelheadlps · 09-23-2003, 08:27 AM

That is awesome. Thanks ZaQ your the MAN !!!!!!

HappyFishers · 09-23-2003, 08:40 AM

Sounds good to me.

RiverKeeper, where can I pick up one of those babies!! What's that ZaQ? You say your're on it? Sweet!!!

rpnsteelheadlps · 09-23-2003, 08:52 AM

That has to be one of the nicest looking fly I've ever seen. I couldn't tye that in a million years.

Thats a good question. This is my 2nd swap so I'm not really sure. This is OUR swap so we all need to decide. I'ld think with the amount of patterns out there it shouldn't be a problem.

09-23-2003, 05:20 PM

Okay count me in then. Might want to have the time a little longer than the last one because of the amount of flies involved. I'll probably do some kind dry fly or perhaps a nymph of some kind.
I can't do the little stuff anymore but probably have some stuff already tied...either way you'll have my flies next week sometime.

FallRiverGuy · 09-23-2003, 11:56 PM

I can do 14 flies, just give me some time. Do we share which fly we are making with the group to avoid duplication?

greenbuttskunk · 09-24-2003, 06:55 AM

I'm game, should we all just decide on a fly to tie, and make 14 of them. This time of year, maybe we all tie wets or nymphs? what's our time frame here?
Should be fun, I did'nt tie enough this past year, but I did find a really cool roll top desk at an estate sale that perfect for a flytying set up.
Can I be so bold and start by offering up 14 black midge pupas. . They just plain catch fish, and I think everyone would enjoy one in the old fly box.

Ok, I think my pattern will be a Beadhead Caddis Larva. Simple to tie (14 shouldn't take too long), and easy to replicate if you find it successful. This fly seems to produce on the deschutes when the fish are being extra finicky.

Lets shoot for October 10th, let me know if this isn't enough time.

Actually, take me off the list. I put myself as a maybe in first place. I don't trout fish, and I'd pretty much be tying a downsized steelhead fly. So, take me off the list this time. Next steelhead/salmon swap, I'll be there.

FallRiverGuy · 09-24-2003, 04:32 PM

I'll do a BWO emerger. This is a very productive fly during the BWO hatch on Fall River.

ZaQ · 09-24-2003, 06:48 PM

I am in for 13 of the tiger rat imitator above. Should have them done by tomorrow mid-day.

rpnsteelheadlps · 09-24-2003, 11:06 PM

PLease note the edit to the first post of this string.

Carver_OR · 09-25-2003, 06:17 AM

David,

I have my 13 ready to send to you...off to the Umpqua for a few days.

Pat

rpnsteelheadlps · 09-25-2003, 07:37 AM

Thought you guys might want to see who ties the flys and gets to fish with them. He is my pride and joy. Jordan has been fishing literally since he was 3 and out fishes me 90% of the time.

Steve L. · 09-25-2003, 08:33 AM

tying up a baker's dozen is ok with me

HappyFishers · 09-25-2003, 09:18 AM

Any suggestions on what fly I should tie that works well in the Mt Hood Lakes area? Moderate difficulty. I can't get the exact copy of the tiger rat right, but I've been practicing quiet a bit and can tie a pretty decent fly.

Fish_N_Russ · 09-25-2003, 07:10 PM

I will be tying a black stonefly nymph, my own creation.

David, did you get those hooks yet? :smile:

Russ

greenbuttskunk · 09-25-2003, 08:09 PM

happyfisher, maybe a pheasant tail? they catch fish just about anywhere.

Steve L. · 09-26-2003, 05:15 AM

I'll be tying up an e/c parachute caddis. Worked well on the Wilson and Siletz. Did we ever dcide when all these should be done ? I tend to be a deadline dog.

Dave,
I know where that shot is of your boy, it's a veritable aquarium there, tons of fun to fish.
That kid of yours like a pro, I'm sure you're a
very proud dad. Hope my little one will enjoy flyfishing like I do when he's old enough to wave a stick.
the 10th sounds good, I'll work on mine next week.

ZaQ · 09-28-2003, 07:47 PM

Oh jeez, you guys are serious. I better get to tying. Too much fishing to be done.

True · 09-28-2003, 08:03 PM

I'll send out a some BH Prince Nymphs. Howzat?

True

Riverkeeper · 09-29-2003, 08:52 PM

Ok David, the caddis larvae are done and will be in the mail in the next day or so.

JeepMcMuddy · 09-29-2003, 11:36 PM

Im still in, I'll be doing 13 of some tasty nymphy pattern....I'll update when I get home and dig out some patterns.

rpnsteelheadlps · 09-30-2003, 11:33 PM

I will edit the first post of this string as I receive your flies. As I don't know your first names please include your IFish name with your flies. Thanks

Carver_OR · 10-01-2003, 06:22 AM

David,
I sent mine off to you yesterday, I'm the HoldZit package, not fly's but HoldZit Squeeze Sheath gink holders.

Pat

JeepMcMuddy · 10-06-2003, 08:36 AM

Sent in my offerings today...My first attempt at a woven bodied fly. Hope you all like.

JeepMcMuddy · 10-06-2003, 08:37 AM

greenbuttskunk · 10-10-2003, 08:42 AM

I'm sorry guys, I wussed out and tied a standard
chironomid pupa. It's not as fancy as some you guys tied I'm sure, but it kicks butt, slowly stripped in lakes especially. David, you should get them in tommorrows mail.

JeepMcMuddy · 10-15-2003, 08:12 AM

Any update on status? Just excited to see what everyone has tied!

JeepMcMuddy · 10-17-2003, 07:42 AM

Anything??? :smile:

Steve L. · 10-17-2003, 07:32 PM

Are we almost there yet ? I'm anxious to see what everyone else tied. hard to wait..... [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]
