Mayfly Drake Fly Swap

[danielp]

If you dont mind an English applicant I will be up for this, will tie a danica pattern that I am guessing will work for the green drakes as well.

Cheers

I've finished The Cream Mayflies,they are a simple pattern that catch fish,as I stated elseware all I have to do is Tie The Foam Beetles for The #1 Terrestial Swap.
I will have a play around tomorrow on my newest Computer as I printed Frank & Ard's links as in the past I've had trouble posting Pictures especially The Tie along ones,maybe I'm a dumb ?/////?.

I am going to tie a fly called Tamsters drake. I don't know what it is but it looks like a mayfly drake of some sort! I am tying up all the bodies now!!

This is my submission for this swap. A variation of the Clouser Green Drake. I did not have a light ginger cape for the rear hackle wraps, so I substituted a dirty cream.

Recipe:
Size 10 Allen Fly fishing Dry Fly Hook
Tail: Moose body
Dub: Yellow Antron
Rear Hackle: Dirty Cream
Wing: Deer Hair
Front Hackle: One ginger, one griz
Thread: 8/0 light cahill

I have tested this fly and the vast majority of the time it lands upright! These are big and meaty and according to Bob Clouser the smallmouth love em!

Enjoy.

Mark the flies are on their way. I am sending these in with two other swaps. I tried to send you a PM but I am not sure my PM's are getting through to you. Please let me know if you get a PM from me. Thanks!

Both my Elk Hair Big Brown Drakes and Dryer Sheet Flashback Drakes went in the mail today.

[danielp]

I am really sorry guys but I am going to have to drop out, work has got hectic and I don't have the time to tie up the patterns.

Really sorry

[tamster321]

Mine are done!! I think mine are called a slate drake so that is the name on the toe tag. I will be putting them in the mail today!!
