Streamer Fly Swap #2

[JimNovo]

Norms flies are suitable for framing.

That’s what I was going to do with his flies from Swap #1. My next project…

Just received the streamers from the fly swap, beautiful work everyone. Thanks

 

[Eagle204]

Very nice flies everyone. They look great! Thanks again to @JimNovo for hosting and the bonus fly, and to @nfrechet for the other bonus flies.

 

[Beweav]

Thanks everyone for participating! I’m very happy with the assortment of flies 👍
Thanks @JimNovo for organizing it!

@PatchezMDM I am very interested to know what kind of fur you used for the White Death fly.

@TerrellBFly I really like your fly. Is it a pattern you made up? It looks fantastic! What material did you use right behind the eyes?

I received my flies today as well. Great job by all involved in the swap. Thanks again Jim for your time involved in administering the swap as well as your bonus streamer. Also, thanks to Norm for all the flies he tied for both swaps. They surely are suitable for framing but there is a side of me that wants to stick a carp on one of them. They aren’t really carp flies but I may be able to pull it off if all the stars line up.

I participated in both of Jim’s streamer swaps so I ended up with this awesome pile of streamers. It is a testimony of a lot of time and talent involved in these patterns. It’s kind of like the “where’s Waldo” of fly tying. Thanks to everyone, I can’t wait to get ‘em wet!

Just got my flies and they all look awesome. Thanks to everyone involved, you guys made my first swap experience a great one. Thanks especially to @JimNovo for setting this up, and to @nfrechet for the extra flies, they really are the nicest ties i’ve ever seen.

Thanks to Jim for hosting and to all the tiers for the marvelous flies. Great variety of patterns and definitely some outside my normal comfort zone. I look forward to experimenting on stream with these gems.
