Flysmallie

One of them will be a gurgler. Everybody needs a properly tied gurgler. The one that you want we'll call a marabou pig because it is basically the smallie pig fly with marabou. There's more differences than that but it will work. Third will be the trashy dragon. You'll see.

You still only have me down for one and I’m going to do at least two. Send me a pic of those fancy pencil poppers and I’ll send it along to Chip for his approval.

Oh geez. Don’t make us kick you out of your own swap.

So many things wrong with this statement but I'm going to let it go because I am very jealous. Pink is one of my favorite colors but I don't do much fly stuff with it because I don't have a pink saddle.

I want mine on a 5/0 crappie minnow hook.

Yeah when you start getting phones involved it gets weird. I just do it on my computer since it's usually right in front of me and I have some type of picture software open all the time. There are some apps out there that you can use to resize. I'm not familiar with any but I know they exist.

The max file size for a profile pic is 0.1MB. In comparison the regular max file size is 7MB. It needs to be really small. Profile images are typically 150X150 pixels.

Weak. People are going to be disappointed when they see the results. We should have just had a tying party on the Deck O Ness.

Nope. I'm not going to claim all that.

I feel my rights were violated in #1. I’m contacting the NAACP. In other news it looks like it’s just the 3 of us since Ness is running this like a Dick Tater. I want a second spot.

Well obviously if you are paying me and Marty to join it's a pretty big deal.

So it's my fault too?? This is just like being at home.

Please please please pretty pretty please with a cherry on top Mr. Ness can I be in your fly swap??? I accept. Apparently.

That seems pretty selfish of her.

I never could stand having any kind of seat in the front. But I did get tossed a few times too.

It’s a fishing reel. It has no value until it completes the task for which it was created.

Yes you will......Yes you will......Yes you will......

Thanks for the update Phil. I've been wondering about water conditions on both lately.

If you are one the bank it's a pretty tough place to fish but with a boat it's as good as anywhere else.

On second thought, the processing that YouTube does makes it look a lot worse. That may be since I uploaded through my phone.

Here’s a example of video with no editing. It doesn’t record sound. The wind was blowing about 15 with some small gusts. I could hear the constant adjustments that it was making trying to hover in one spot. Video is still pretty smooth.

Dji Spark. When I started the search for a drone the Spark was the first one I eliminated from the list. But after doing a lot more research it kept coming up as the perfect option for me. Something small. Not overly expensive for a first drone. Reputable company, which eliminates a lot of problems like fly aways. I was going to go the Phantom route but when they were there both side by side I like the smaller size of the Spark. I'm sure I will outgrow it but that's fine. I'd rather be experimenting with a $400 toy than a $1,000 or more. You can get one through B & H photo right now for $349 and it comes with a free $120 remote control. Another $50 for an extra battery and you have a pretty good setup. The remotes are on backorder so I'm just controlling it from my phone for now.

And there weren't a lot of fish caught but I was able to catch a few. All on the same bait. Did have one little 14 inch feisty smallmouth too. It really was a beautiful day out there.

It’s really easy to fly. And if you just let go of the controls it will just hover where it’s at. Right now i have it in Beginner’s mode so it will only allow it to get 98 feet away. But yes I’m terrified of crashing it or losing it. My wife wasn’t thrilled with the purchase so i don’t need to be telling her it just vanished.
