1st Flyswap for 2010
« on: 26/02/2010 at 11:23 »
All,

Okay here goes. 

Tie ten of the same fly, pop them in an envelope to me complete with a stamp addressed envelope inside.  I'll collate the flies and post you back ten flies of which nine will be different and you will get one of your own back again. Take a picture and post the dressing on this thread.

Deadline will be the 15th of April so it gives you six weeks by which time even Sandy should be able to get his flies here. 

1. mdh - hare's ear beadhead nymph
2. Spiderman - Pink spot shrimp
3. Goolager - TBC
4. Paulfish_1 - Yellow owl Shuttlecock
5.Bigtroot - one for the rainbows
6.Catman - TBC
7.Hamish - Golden Loch Ordie
8.GRHE - Diawl Bach
9. Kevlard - pearly pennel
10.Clark - Pink Post Klinks

Reply or PM if you want to take part. 

Cheers

Matt

good to have two willing volunteers already.  Just need to decide on your pattern.  Freestyle whatever you fancy really.

Great for clear water like the Don, great colours for Grayling too.
Similar tying style to the Rhyac from Feb's SBS's
A great point fly on a czech team of two.

Hook: Partridge Barbless Shrimp size 16 (similar size to a B110 size 10 :shock)
Thread: Golden olive
Body: Light olive Micro straggle fritz, clipped on top
Bead: Tungsten 3.3mm Eumer Fl.pink

Finding the time is the tricky thing for me at the moment (seriously :!) but I will undertake to do something, most probably my Golden Loch Ordie which works well on the lochs for brownies but equally well for the 'bows elsewhere  :z16

Sorry Folks

I spend my working life chasing deadlines and my relaxation is fly tying when I can tie as and when I feel like it. Having commitments  and deadlines to meet would take away the pleasure for me so I will opt out of the fly swap for the moment.

Hope it works well for you all

Irvine
