Rob G Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Terry, you really do procrastinate way too much ! Btw, for those that do want to get a jump on this and since we don't have an exact number of entries and therefore, an exact number of flies to tie just yet, I did state that you would not be required to tie more than 11 maximum so keep that in mind.

tgoodmanii Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm in if there are still spots open. Sounds fun. I'll be tying a variation of the Gurgler. I will admit I have not fished this fly since I started tying it so I can't say how well it performs. Let me know if I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Buric Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Tim I'd bring some of those in white and green with me in June if I were you. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue one with legs becomes a great Damsel Fly while the green one if it had legs would be a good dragon fly which is to say please put legs on mine.

Rob G Posted January 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 I received an email from a participant who wasn't sure of what a Big Black Bug looks like and was concerned that his offering might be too similar so here's whom I'm bringing to the dance. This tied on a size 4 extra long popper hook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Miller Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I will take the last spot if you all will have me. I will tie a Kreb's Popper. -Forrest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Forrest, you're in. Krebbers - excellent ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Swappers, I'm going to need a total of 11 flies from each of you. Everyone will therefore get a complete set and we'll then have enough for raffle prizes at the upcoming Blow Out. Thanks again for participating. (Terry, I'll make sure there's a little something extra in yours since you sent in a dozen) And for those that missed out this time, hopefully you can participate in the next.

Mike G Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Rob, I am going to send 12 too. Can I have something extra too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Dodge Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Have not sent as of yet so you can do to me what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom L Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Rob, put me down for "Loomudclouski". It is a dumpbell eye (hook pointed up) version of my CF Muddler. It is a combination of Muddler minnow, Clouser minnow, Borski slider, and some of my ideas, thus the name Loo, Muddler, Clouser, borSki.

Ryan Kral Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just gotta double check, topwater flies correct? I just notice a couple guys are doing streamers, and just want to clarify? I don't care either way. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ryan, so far all listed are topwater surface flies or near topwater. Not sure about Tom's fly that he just posted since I don't know whether that it floats or not? I will have to get clarification there. Soooooo, please if possible, in keeping with the focus on this particular swap if you could give me something that floats or stays near the top. Next swap will likely be some sort of streamer. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Good news to all swappers, Tom L. will be tying up some of his craft fur Muddlers so this is really turning into a nice selection of Topwaters. (Not that I'm selfishly twisting Tom's arm here, can't wait to get my hands on one of those) So Ryan, whom are you bringing to the dance? Ms. Murdich Minnow maybe? Dahlberg Diver? (alliteration overload) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Kral Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Well...I was thinking popper/diver flies, but maybe go with some kind of floating injured baitfish style fly now. Although I did just get a bunch more material for deerhair poppers/divers since my original idea of the gurgler was taken! We'll see, I'll let you know by tonight after I toy around with some deerhair. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Kral Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well, I was thinking about tying a "Dahlberg Flashdancer". I don't want to impose on Tom though because this is pretty similar to the Muddler, usually just has a little more pronounced collar. I would tie it in different color variations, and this is just kind of a rough draft, my first time tying it. Needs more flash. This fly is designed to kind of sit in the film, with the marabou tail and flash just below water, and the collar holding the head at surface level. I just figure its a fly that can be used by someone in many ways, floating line, sink tip, etc. Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Ryan, we'll accept what ever you want to submit, so have at it. If you want to tie flashdancers, that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Kral Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Ok, that's it then! The "Flashdancer"! Even comes with it's own theme song! Ryan http://youtu.be/MZkkASCH15Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Kral Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Just picture that song starting every time you open your fly box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Well if your fly moves like that young woman, then I'm going to have to use a swivel less I risk twisted tippet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
