Trout Streamer Swap, Fall 2009

[peregrines]

Trout Streamer Swap Due Date Nov 20, 2009

For those that responded to the swap survey and expressed an interest in tying streamers, I’ve included your names here, but please confirm you’re still interested, and let me know what you’re tying if/when you know it.

Anything from meaty patterns for monster trout, to simple bucktails to classic featherwings is fair game.

1. Bluebird- Classic Peacock Sword= RECEIVED
2. Fishn50- Paramchene Belle or Allagash AL
3. 2PawsRiver- Secret Killer Pattern- RECEIVED
4. Kelkay- Mickey Finn- RECEIVED
5. McNerny- Barr's Slumpbuster- RECEIVED
6. peregrines- Dark Spruce
7. Pocono- Carrie Steven's pattern - RECEIVED
8. Troutbum17- Little Rascal

For other folks that didn’t participate in the survey, but want to get in on the swap, respond to the thread and we’ll see if we can add you too—by filling up the empty slots or replacing people with a reserved space that elect to drop out.

I’m thinking a due date of Nov 20 2009 (approx 2 months) should be good- let me know if that works for you too.

I’ll send everyone that confirms/responds that they’re in my address via PM.

Mark,

Thanks for saving me a spot in this swap, but I think I will just start my swap 'career' with one - the Nymph. So please take me out of this one.

Thanks

Steve

[kelkay]

I will tie Mickey Finn streamers.

 

[peregrines]

Kelkay- great pattern thanks for joining--- you're a tying machine!

[Pocono]

Mark,

I'll tie up some Black-nosed Dace flies for this swap. Not the Art Flick pattern; something that's a little closer to what we have for Dace up here in the Poconos

Pocono

 

[peregrines]

Pocono-

You've got my curiosity up, looking forward to seeing it.

Mark, that made me laugh. I have nine Mickey Finns tied up so far. I am slow, but consistent in fly tying. I don't whip them out by any means. I made these in size 12 on a Gamkatsu hook. I figured there were more trout folks who would like the smaller size. I normally never tie a streamer that small. Hard for me to see....but I think they will work out good. I am making these with calf tail.

 

[kelkay]

I finished my Mickey Finns today. I made a few extra in case more people joined. I will send two or three of the swaps together. (since they are all due at the same time, but one)

 

[FISHN50]

I like the simple elegance of the Parmachene Belle & the Alagash Al so it'll be one of those.

[peregrines]

Neil- sounds great looking forward to seeing it.

Troutbum17- You're in, let us know what you're tying when you decide.

Mark
