Bass Swap, Fall 2009

[peregrines]

Bass Swap- due date Nov 20, 2009

Hey! Can't forget you warmwater guys and gals.

For those that responded to the swap survey and expressed an interest in tying some warm water stuff for Bass, 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. Topwater, deep water, suspending, diving-- anything for mouths large and small
1. Aroostockbasser- TBD- RECEIVED
2. Brandy- Water Walker size 8- RECEIVED
3. Kelkay- Gurgler-- RECEIVED
4. Gar- Red Herring - RECEIVED
5. Peregrines- Deer Hair Bass Bug
6. Rmooney-Cork Body Popper - RECEIVED
7. BlueBird- A cool looking minnow- RECEIVED
8. Bamboo10- Soft body Hipp or Sneaky Pete- RECEIVED
9. Diver Dan- Marabou Leech - RECEIVED

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—adding to fill empty slots, or replacing folks with a reserved space that elect to drop out. The goal will be to have each participant tie a maximum of 12 flies

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 my address via PM.

[rmooney]

oh yeah, i never really said yes yet did i? yeah, im definately in.

heres the worm. its a smaller version of something i bought at orvis. i think this color will work really well for largies too.

 

[peregrines]

Cool, glad to have you in the swap- it looks like a deadly pattern. That's a pretty neat tail.

[kelkay]

I am signed up for a total of 5 swaps. I must of LOST my mind. ROTFLMBO. Well, I will get 'em done, don't worry 'bout that. This ought to be fun...hehehe.

 

[BlueBird]

This is the pattern I will be cranking up...

 

[peregrines]

Looks great!

 

[kelkay]

I have one similar to that, I call it a micro jig...but it isn't my pattern. What is the tail made of? The tail on mine is different.

This is the pattern I will be cranking up...

 

[BlueBird]

hi Kelkay, the tail right now is from my pet Lovebird's wing feather.

 

[kelkay]

LOL...well that is a good use of a nice little feather. Thanks for the reply. I used to have a few parrots, but they are all dead now, sadly.

 

[Bamboo10]

If there is a slot open I will put in some Hipp's soft bodied poppers or soft body Sneaky Petes.

GJ

 

[rmooney]

ok, i decided to change my pattern. im going to make cork poppers. When i pick a color variation, ill let everyone know!

 

[Guest1]

Just out of curiosity, how close to full are you on this one?

 

[peregrines]

Bamboo- glad to have you- you're in.

Dan- at this point there are 7 definites and 2 unconfirmed (BAM and Rebfly)- there's room if you want in

Hopefully we'll get a full swap.
