Caddis Swap

[mediclimber]

Okay, make my Elk hair black.

 

[ian_brown]

Put me down for a tan cdc & elk. For those of you who haven't tried it, it's a great pattern.

 

[mediclimber]

So, where do we stand on this swap? I got a dozen #16 black elk hair tied so far. These don't have hackle on the body so you can fish them as a dry or emerger. It's a pattern from back in 1978 put out by Orvis. How's everyone else doing? And when it's time to send these things out where do I send them?

 

[tomgamber]

I think he's gonna email all that info when he gets it together. You in a hurry?

 

[newguy]

I am up for this one. Let me know if you still have room. Also here is my email for all the particular's.

Nope, no hurry. But, there's a ten month old in the house and I don't want him hiding the stash. It's amazing how fast he can see something, grab it, and it never is found again. One day I guess I'll move a piece of furniture and his "treasure" will be found. 🙂

 

[tomgamber]

They are smarter than that...they don't have one big stash...they tend to scatter things in different hiding places throughout the house. And another reason to tie barbless, at least for a little while.

beadhead2,

Can you PM me your recipe, I was gonna tie some Deer Hair Pupa, but I think they be the same pattern.

DJ,
I can tie two patterns if needed, the other would be simple peacock/starling wet fly.

Looking forward to this swap and fishing the flies1

[StudentofTheStream]

DJ change me up from the caddis pupa for now. I'm going to look and see which one I want to tie but it will be one of Rene Harrop's caddis patterns. If you've never seen them they're pretty inventive. I'll let you know which pattern in the next few days.

 

[Bruno]

i'll be tying a flat wing style caddis.

I am waiting to see if anyone else wants to join. I had set today as the last day to sign up for this swap. I have everyone's email so I will let you all know the details.

 

[flyfishermanj]

Guys,

Sorry I missed the the send-in date. Will get them out Mon. at the lastest! In an effort to get the flies in I have changed my pattern to a simple green/starling wet fly with a beadhead. This fly has produced good numbers of fish for me, you guys will like it.

Has anyone heard anything from Ian_Brown? I haven't been able to get ahold of him at all for this swap.

 

[jayL]

Ian recently had twins. I haven't heard from him in a bit, but I'm not surprised. I'd imagine he's super busy.
