Forrest Miller Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hello everyone. It was brought to our attention that the Bassbuggers section on the site has been a little quiet lately, so let's do a swap! Let's take the first 12 people to sign up. Respond with your name and the panfish/crappie fly you intend to tie in this thread. I will update the original post as the slots fill up. Please turn in 13 flies. We will take the leftovers and make two boxes for the Blowout auction. You will NOT get one of your own flies back. Please turn in flies by January 31st by mailing them to my home at 4023 Hunt Club Dr. Oswego IL 60543. Please mail your flies in a crush proof container (altoids tins work well) along with enough money for return postage and a pre-addressed envelope. Usually $3 is enough to cover postage.1.

Rob G Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 I'm in with the buggy looking soft hackle woolly worm / mini bugger by Rick Osthoff of Mauston, Wisconsin. Excellent for both trouts and pannies. Likely size 12 and 2xl long unless someone wants it different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Dodge Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Failing eyesight. I no longer tie. I try every now and then but always end up with a big mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 I understand but it's the messy fly that always catches the most fish.Btw, hey Tim, do you think Colin would be interested in joining in? I have no way of contacting him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredmo Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'll use this as an excuse to get back to the vise. I'll do the Bully's Bluegill spider, as described by Terry Wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I'll do the Bully's Bluegill spider, as described by Terry Wilson. Good choice Fred, I know I've personally filled my freezer with bluegill/crappie fillets using that fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Very nice phaaker Forrest, since it looks like we have 7 total tiers so how about I send seven panfish flies and if you're going to put something together for the ISA Blowout, then I could send along a couple smallmouth flies that might be a little more appropriate.

Forrest Miller Posted January 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Guys, anyone else? We need to close it out.... last call!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredmo Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I got mine tied, not sure what Rob means by "more appropriate" flies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I got mine tied, not sure what Rob means by "more appropriate" flies. I was just thinking something a wee larger than my size 12 panfish fly might be more appropriate for Smallies, that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Likewise, I already tied my 13 trout/panfish figuring the rest will go to the blowout. My take is that most of the crowd are not bass purists and there will even be a lot of trout guys there. BTW I am sure they'll take more donations. Who is collecting them this year?

rich mc Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 i will add a mop fly for everyone in the swap simple fly rich mc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Loebach Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Mike - I'll run a members swap collection as usual. If you can't come to the Blowout you can mail them to me or give them to Paul or Terry. We sort those during setup, its fun to see what turns up.

Rob G Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Well I discovered last night that I'm missing a Whiting Hen cape with enough appropriate soft hackle for the fly I had intended, so..... I'm change my offering to a sinking beetle. Again, one of my favorites for pannies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
