Redfish and Specs Saltwater Swap

[peregrines]

Let's see if we get enough takers to run this one-- i know we have a lot "Gulf Warriors" in Fl, MS, AL, LA and TX that throw flies in the grass and mud. How bout it?

Hopefully we'll get enough folks to run a swap- let's see who's in and set a date. Even if it's only 3 or 4 people we can tie up multiple flies so everyone gets 12 or so.

2. Fish Gypsy - Seaducer
3. Mikeybob365- maybe a spoon fly
4. Kerry Pitt - Squimp- RECEIVED
5. Vysogi- Del Brown's Permit Fly (Merkin)
6. Peregrines- TBD
7. PJ123- TBD

[MikeyBob365]

I'm in!
not sure exactly what i'll do, but i'm considering making spoons.

 

[peregrines]

Great guys- Mike and Fish, it's good to have you both on board!

Let's see who else we get.

What do yall think? Scroll down to the bottom of the page and decide what fly color you want... i'm not strong enough with my knowledge of fishing to known what would be the perfect color.

 

[aroostookbasser]

I'll be tying my "secret" fly. The Puff...... aka "Puff the magic Dragon" Fly. This fly has been deadly on reds in the gulf. Where a fishing bud of mine field tested and raved about it. Shared here and for the first time anywhere. Hope you catch bunches of reds with it. Send me some pics!!!

I bought the schtuff to tie my Deceivers a couple weeks ago, and sat around this afternoon tinkering around with them. They're easy, right? Just flash and hackle....

Well, mine came out looking not unlike the Christmas tree which is also sharing my living room- so I think I'm going to bail and do the Back Bay Bugger instead- it's something I'm familiar with and comfortable tying, and I'm not sure it's something everyone's seen.

Fish Gypsy - A back Bay Bugger would be fine....

but feel free to post pics or describe the problem you're having with your deceivers in the general tying forum- maybe folks can help if you're having trouble with them.

 

[MikeyBob365]

[MikeyBob365]

i have two weeks off, i'm going to try and get to work on these asap cause after those two weeks i'll have exams!

 

[Kerry Pitt]

Hey I do not fish for any of these but I can look up a pattern and jump in if that is okay?

 

[peregrines]

Great Kerry- glad you jumped in.

If you can tie 'em up on Salt Water hooks that would be great.

 

[Kerry Pitt]

I have lots of stainless I will look up a couple of patterns and run them by you before I tie.....
