JFIADDFS flies arrived today!

[Tim Carter]

Thanks Tim for putting on this swap and thanks to all the tiers...the
anticipation of receiving them and the oohs and aahs after getting them make
it more than worthwhile!

Yer welcome - it was a lot of fun.

I got to see them first - phttttttttt. We really have a lot of talent in this
group, present company excepted.

BTW, I have a new camera and am attempting to take the pix myself. It ain't as
easy as it looks. :( Once I get the distance down (about 1 1/2 - 2 inches with
a 17X or 10X macro lens), I should have the pictures to Stan for publishing in
the hall of fame.

Also BTW, because of the Columbus Day holiday, the flies to the Australia and
Canada swappers didn't go out until today, so look for those in about a week.
The UK swapper needs to send me a mailing address so I can send the flies.

Would someone please translate "JFIADDFS" for me? I guess the last two
letters stand for "fly swap." :-)

So, since all those long distance guys are already receiving their flies, I
guess you're holding mine for ransom?

I could not agree more. the flies were on the top of the stack of mail I picked
up at the post office this morning after returning from The North Carolina
Clave. I just purchased a 8.5 foot 4 piece 3 weight Temple Fork rod that will
be perfect for all those soft hackle flies. The guys at the Roadkill Roundtable
will again be very impressed when I do the "show and tell thing" at next
Saturday's meeting of The Roadkill Roundtable. I always show them the fly swap
flies and we all get to enjoy the talents of this group. I suspect I will be
tying a bunch of Warren's fly and the Sanchez foam-wing hopper tied by Paul
Williamson before next summer. I will also tie them in a more yellow color for
our local hopper hatchs and tying it in both size 10 for my beloved little 3
weight rods and size 2/0 for a larger rod and catfish.

Thanks to Tim for hosting the swap and to all of the others for their
participation as well.

Since I care, I wanted to make sure the flies were operational. I am in the
process of field testing your batch and will let you know how well they
function. :)

I can mail them or give them to you when we meet within the next few weeks -
your choice. I still hold out hope that this Saturday is not a weather-bust and
I can give them to you then.

Good deal. Make sure you take the tags off first so they're easier to pull
out of the branches.

Paul any chance to describe or picture your foam fly on roff ? For me foam
is the way to go and if Big Dale is impressed it must be a good one.

IJ - The pictures of all the flies will probably be posted sometime in the next
few weeks, depending on my schedule and Stan's as well. There were several
really nice foam bugs in this batch. Stay tuned. . .

Tim and all the tyers,

Just got mine yesterday. Wonderful job by all. Plan to use them as patterns for
my own tying. Don't want to spoil the "samples" by using them too early.

The Black and gold bugger I tied was very successful in New York while salmon
fishing on Orwell brook and South Sandy Creek. Also had great success on West
Canada Creek and the Ausable.

Hope they work for you as well. Thanks for the swap guys.
The worst day on the water beats the best day in the office.

I'll have the photos up in a couple of days. I put up the one I have
already (curiously, it's the one I tied...)

A small package of goodies arrived today, looking as if the contents were
ready to swim, hop, and crawl into some enticing positions guaranteed to
lure any trout in the vicinity. Thank, Tim, for running this swap, and
thanks to all the participants who made such great flies for me to drown.

Now that's an image to conjure with, hooking into one using an 18 midge and
trying to land it.

I'll likely save the ones that came today for my next trip north to trout
waters. Until then, they're great models to copy.

Joe - I think Tim will eventually post pictures of them on a web page.

Hang on http://shop.flyfishing.about.com/fly_archive/details/74.htm

Tons of foam flies there! Wow!

Any way - I dubbed the body instead of doing it like Scott does (deer
hair on double-sided tape). I should have had Scott show me how to
tie one of these before he moved back to Jackson this summer.

The trout don't seem to mind my version!

Do you get catfish to hit on the surface?

He moved back to Jackson? That sucks! He was a damn fine addition at Dan
Bailey's! I lived a couple of blocks from the shop and had regular
"instructions" from Scott while I lived there. I am sad to hear that he is no
longer there......

> The trout don't seem to mind my version!

I can't see why they would! It is a damn nice pattern. The cutts liked that
pattern at the Rock Crick Clave.

You up for a float trip on the Jellystone soon? I'll bring the boat, beer and
row. I like meeting my neighbors. Or we can try and hit the browns moving up
the Madison if you like. I need to get up there for a "recon" mission for next
year's clave. ;-)

Wasn't "his" choice. His wife got a better offer for a teaching job
there.

Either or Warren! If you come here, we can use my Clacka. Heck, I
have only fished from it twice! Wife doesn't row, and my clients
think just because they pay me money they don't have to row :-).

I'd love to do the Madison also (we can use your boat). What stretch?

The only days I can do it next week is Friday on, as I have to wear a
suit and tie most of next week.

A few years ago I was heading somewhere on business in a suit and tie and came
upon a body of water that was too good to pass up. The fish didn't seem to care
much one way or the other about the outfit, 'though I did get some odd looks
from fishers. It *was* a strange looking combo with hip boots and the vest. :)

You're always welcome back. I have some new small towns for you to check out.
I think you would get a kick out of the "Grocery Store / Bus Depot"

Sometimes. They love those huge hoppers. There are at least three lakes in the
Dallas Area that get HUGE hopper hatches for a while in the summer. There was a
10 pound channel cat reported taken on the surface a couple of years ago. I
have never taken one that big, butt the ones that weight from 2 to 6 pounds are
a hell of a lot of fun.

I have a friend by the name of Skip Shorb who specializes in tying a size 32
woven extended body mayfly and after someeone saw him tie it at the FFF
Conclave in Gulf Shores someone on another board said it was for baby tarpon.
