Just updated the page Bill. Good Choice. One of my favorites!

Still waiting for a few more pattern selections to add to the page.

Hey Salman,

Forgot to tell you which fly I'll be tying for the swap...Orleans Barber.

I tried to find your email, but I couldn't locate it on this new system.
Sheesh.

Eric

Phil, looking forward to this swap, and also nice story on your Canada trip, Dave

Well, I just returned from a business trip to Japan where I used some extra time to finish my flies for the swap. I guess you could say these flies are now foreign made imports.

BTW, I'm going to need an address to send them too.

Salmaan,

Send me an email with your address. My steelhead bunnies are tied.

Loretta

My flies are done so where do I send them?

i'm messing around with tube flies cuz i really want to learn how to tie and use them. i'm really hoping to make some deadly bass patterns for the pond. anyway, if its ok with everyone, i'm not going to make a bunch of one pattern. I'd rather make a bunch of different stuff then mark can sort them out and you get what you get. that way i get some practice and if you actually use them ( ) let me know how they worked. i'm going to include a hook with a short section of 12# leader. you can switch it out with what you use. i'm a light tackle freak so 2# is good enough

i've been trying differnet stuff and have found hackle tails don't really work well with tube flies. the palmered marabou patterns look great and cant wait to use them myself. the caddis and stones i've done look kinda goofy. oh well, its live and learn i guess. if anyone has any good tips/info please pass it along.

thanks
