Nymph Swap Fall 2012

OAlright time to get the ball rolling. Spoke with Ard on Friday and I am going to run the first swap of the new and hopefully improved era! Going to make it a simple one to start and after this one other members are going to take a shot at it also. It will be a nymph swap limited to 15 swappers. Standard swap guidelines . Everyone will tie 14 nymphs and receive the same in return . As soon as I get some responses I'll pm my address and set the deadline for mailing out. Once the deadline is set if your flys come late I'm sending them back the way they came . Going to try to make this as simple as possible and get everybody their flys in a timely fashion.
If your in let me know and I'll start the list and we can start swapping. Feel free to let me know any concerns or questions that you may have.

I'm in. I'm tying size 14 beadhead Frenchies. Fifteen flies? They'll be ready by the end of next week (busy week this week, moving to a new place and some serious coursework due Thursday...).

[tbblom]

I'm in [if you guys will forgive my previous comments on the swap!]
Would you guys prefer:
#16 BH Soft hackle bicolor copper john (stone)
#18 BH Winter warrior (dark rainbow warrior, good winter nymph)
#14 BH FB tan twine stone (flashy and buggy)
or
#12 birds nest attractor (good stillwater action or deep nymph)

examples:
birds nest

winter warrior

I'll pick whatever gets a few early votes.

 

[theboz]

Your in tbblom. Who cares about old comments. All of them are nice. Pick one!

 

[williamhj]

I'll tie a little sugar cube nymph I've found successful, in either a 16, 18, or 20 depending on how small I feel like tying

 

[theboz]

Your in Bill. Thanks.

 

[newby]

OK, I've decided I want in on this. I will tie something TBD.

 

[theboz]

Ok newby your in. Thanks.

 

[newby]

I am debating tying a chartreuse copper john, a caddis pupae, or a stonefly nymph. Any thoughts on what you guys fish more?

 

[brookfieldangler]

Try all catch fish around here

 

[Pocono]

It's been awhile.

I'll, literally, have to scrape the rust off my nymph hooks...........but it's time and I'm game. Actually, I've been looking for a reason to tie on the new Daiichi barbless hooks........so, here it is!

Put me down for a PTN variant.

Pocono

By the way John, my avatar is on Swiftwater Creek; about 1/2 mile down from Pocono Manor; good early season PTN water.

 

[theboz]

Pleasure to have you Allan. Thought that stream looked familiar(especially the low water). Hope it survives all the construction and road work near it. Your in. Thanks.
