I realize I'm a noobie, but Id like to get in on this if possible (as long as perfection is not required HaHa).

 

[peregrines]

Great! Glad to have you. And have no fear, perfection is not required otherwise my hairballs wouldn't be eligible

I'll be sending out the usual info via PM to all participants once we get a few more folks. It'll include my address etc.

 

[stl_geoff]

Blind squirrel is what I'll be doing. A buddy of mine ties it. Its a sweet fly that is slaying the carp like mad around here right now.

 

[pkins44]

Count me in. Not sure what I'll be tying yet but cant wait to get started!

 

[peregrines]

Excellent pkins44 glad you jumped in.

 

[lancer09]

Oh, why not, count me in I guuess

 

[fire instructor]

Well, I was going to pass on this swap, but after opening yesterday's mail, and seeing the variety and quality of the Dry Fly Swap and the Nymph Swap, how can I pass this up???

Put me down for a "Rubber Legs Bluegill Fly". Not yet sure if I'll do a bead-head, or what color. I'll have to see what I have, or what's readily available for materials....

 

[brookfieldangler]

Ill jump in with "McTage's leather trouser worm" - my personal favorite carp fly

 

[peregrines]

Great guys, you're all in.

 

[pkins44]

Are there any requests for flies? I'm not too edumacated in specifc carp flies because I just recently started to try fishing for the grass carp here. I'm trying to learn new patterns but looking for an effective one at the same time. Opem to all suggestions. Thanks

 

[mudbug]

OK, since I seem to be on track with getting my flies done for the terrestrial swap done REAL early I'll go ahead and join this one with a Bluegill Candy Hopper.

 

[peregrines]

Excellent Eric.

 

[Joni]

My go to Carp fly is a Yellow softhackle Glow Bug. It catches Carp! betting it will work on gills and cats. If that sounds like something you all would like to try, sign me up.

 

[famill00]

Mark, I will play in this one. Please put me down for a Bully's Bluegill Spider.

-Forrest

 

[peregrines]

Excellent! Joni and Forrest you're both in

 

[iaflyguy]

I think I'm going to commit to a gray/black WB. I've been having good luck with them this year.

 

[Joni]

This swap still a go? Carp become really active last of May through June

 

[brookfieldangler]
