Gurgler swap

Big Dale mentioned this to me last summer when we were chewing through the
bluegill flyswap entries. We both were feeling that if we held a gurgler
swap it would be cool to see the variations. Well, it's bluegill season
here, and I'm tying up a bunch for the summer... I sometimes tie the
original Gartside version (and am demonstrating that tomorrow for my club),
but usually I go for the ease of Estaz for the body, and I am partial to
rubber legs. Is anybody interested? If we can get at least 8 people, I'll
host it. Deadline and other rules TBD, but it will be a fast deadline, like
2-3 weeks.

Never heard of these before so I googled for gurgler. Lord knows what
websites I would be but a mouseclick away from, so I added 'bluegill' to the
search to reduce the chances of unsightly gurglage, however minor this may
have reduced the set.

Not that it matters...but I found this:

Holy crap. These things look absolutely freekin' deadly...and easy to tie to
boot. Oddly [or not] Mr. Gula showed up on around a dozen of the gurgler
hits. I dare say the world could use a 'Gula' Gurgler.

Your pal,

I'm good for a gaggle of gurglers, Mr. Gula.

Count me in. Not sure which version I will tie. Everyone already has one of my
favorites. You know that I prefer the tinsel chenille, which is just a short
fibered estaz and of course rubber legs in a size 10 for my beloved bluegill.
Not only is it easier to tie, but it also is prefered by the bluegill and is
much more durable.Later this week I will be teaching a 2.5 hour seminar on
tying Fun With Foam at the FFF Southeast Conclave in Gulf Shores and of course
The Psychedelic Spider will be a part of that fun. By the time I return from
the Conclave, the brim should be on their beds in this area and the real fun
for the year will begin.

This gives me an excuse to tie up a bunch more of the fly I enjoy tying more
that any others.

Great. We have at least 3 people.

I fished one of your spiders this past Saturday. We gave casting lessons
for our TU chapter at friend's private pond and after the lessons we fished
for a few hours. I caught a small bass, a pair of 'gills and a pair of
crappies on that spider. Plus, the smaller bluegills put on a show by
grabbing the legs and towing it around.

I'm good for a gaggle of gurglers, Mr. Gula.

Just tried to glue some foam together to make some cicadas (an orange
and black cicada gurgler would be a killer in a couple of weeks).
Superglue didn't work, epoxy cracked, white glue gets wet, don't have
the patience for hotmelt glue. What do you all use?
