Flies For Brown Trouts

I actually changed what I'm tying to the below, should be able to throw it on a 5 or 6wt which was my goal as a lot of guys aren't throwing 8's.

Looks real nice RFD. I'm working up a material order as I write this, should hopefully be able to start working on them next week..are we tying one fly for each participant, or two?

I figured one for each participant. So I would tie, One for every member in the swap including yourself. That way Whe I mail them out everyone gets the same package, and you will just get one of your own Flies.

Jason R. I think that would probably be ok. The due date isn't til Aug 15th, so you have plenty of time, just under a month.

Remember, whenever your flies are done PM me and i'll send you my address. Mail your flies in a crush proof container and a few dollars for postage OR a folded up self addressed and stamped envelope.

BTW, RFD, That fly is awesome!

Thanks!

I have eight done. Technically nine, but I apparently had too many beers and forgot the flashabou on one so I threw that one in my box.

Jason R. There is a lot to tie with those qualities. Look at Nick Granatos stuff, the chubby muffin sculpin comes to mind as well as the samsquatch. Just a couple of patterns.

Since we are past the Sign up date really, lets get these knocked out boys and go catch some big browns.

Brian, Thanks, great now I need to go get a new 8 wt. to throw that fly. Lord knows my, pretty much medium 8 wt. BP sticks aren't going to throw it real well. Thanks, Jeez :secret-laugh:

I am going to jump on mine this weekend. I am thinking Double Deceiver.....RFD is helping out the guys that aren't throwing big gear--I am going the other way. :-)

Actually, I changed my mind. I am going to do a fly that I haven't done a video on......The Hog Snare. That's right, TRIPLE articulated and catches rainbows that break your reel.
