Trout Fly Swap 07

[alexsalmon]

Any interest in a trout swap?!?!?! Not long at all until the Michigan opener, and it would be nice to see what works for you guys! It can be anything from streamers, to dries, to nymphs and everything in between!!!!

Flies must be sent in a crush proof container and come with pre paid envelop to get the flies back. There will be a maximum of 15 tiers. Due date will be April 9th, meaning all flies must be in my hands by then!!!

Very funny Mark:)

I figured you got hundreds of flies to tie and you'll probably pass on this one, glad to be wrong in this case. With all this tying you are going through, you'll soon wear out your vise. How many flies did you say you are tying for that trip?

Well, I just finished reading a very good article from the designer of Klinkhĺmer (also just learned that I was calling it wrong for some time now, as many do) and since I can't pronounce Klinkhĺmer, I'll keep calling it klinkhammer :) .
If that's OK with everyone, I'll tie that.

Roman

Oh, I don't have anymore hooks I was gonna use, so do you guys mind if I use a barbless hook for that (same kind though)?

[ronc23]

Roman,

could you let me know which type of hackle you use to tie the wing. I have tried to tie this fly and have not been happy with the end product.

thanks

[drbnd]

hello - how does the swap work exactly?

i send you one of my patterns for each one of the participants?

thanks

drbnd

[drbnd]

[2PawsRiver]

[lilgecko96]

[alexsalmon]

Hey man sounds good!!! Maybe meet up on the Muskegon later when the water drops, exchange the flies and maybe hook a few trout? Sound good?

[alexsalmon]

Ohh and, no thanks.:D

[lilgecko96]

[alexsalmon]

Bad news folks, my vise took a totally broke today. The part that you spin to secure the hook broke off in side the hole, so it's now useless. I'm not sure what to do yet. I will still host the swap.

[Neeso1aj]

This week alone I've tied over 200 flies getting ready for my steelhead trips. I looked at my dry flies and I have a some Oliver Edwards style BWO that worked great for me last year but Scott is all over that already. Being new to the Swap is it ok to have two of the same flies? If not, I will tie any fly, dry or nymph. U pick Alex.

Let me know,

Dallas

[chainolaker]

Being new to the Swap is it ok to have two of the same flies? Dallas

No problem from my standpoint having two variations of the same....they''ll end up in a tree somewhere anyways :D

[julius]

No problem from my standpoint having two variations of the same....they''ll end up in a tree somewhere anyways :D

couldn't agree with you more! they say two is better than one:)

[Neeso1aj]

alex did you get my vise?

[scotty1834]

I'm good with that too. Mine are a little different anyway.

Thread & hook: Olive 8/0, size 14-16 dry fly hook

Tail: 2 or 3 grey micro-fibettes

Body: BWO goose biot

Thorax: Olive_brown Ice Dub

Wings/Legs: Grey (dun) hackle

I haven't been tying all that long so it would be great to get a look at someone else's version. Bonus!!!

Mine will be in the mail this weekend.

[alexsalmon]

Dallas- it's ok this time.

Neeso- No vise yet:( I was looking forward to being able to tie all day.

[Dallas]

Thanks everyone. I will start tying after I get back from fishing this weekend. I just hope I don't float away with the water levels! :eek:

Take care,

Dallas

[Neeso1aj]

Alex did you get the vise yet?

I found out how you can repay me. 3 flies One that start with an I, a J and an X That would be awsome along with thier name. I know you guys filled me in on the ones I could tie but I either dont have the matterials or I dont have the skill. that would be awsome if there is a problem or you dont have the time I understand just let me know.

[Neeso1aj]

sorry thats I, J and K now cause I lost K-mans scud. and found the stuff for x cadis

[alexsalmon]

[alexsalmon]

Thanks Dustin, I thought you were gonna come in but it's OK. I want to go fishing as soon as the Skegon goes down to a fish able level.


Do you have a relative named Audrey in the high school?

[chainolaker]

Do you have a relative named Audrey in the high school?

Hey Alex...what kind of fishin' are you doin' on this site !?!?!?!:D :D :D

[Neeso1aj]

Fishing for tail I see. don't forget catch and release it works for women as well. get ahold of them take a picture say you had that one and let it go. like any good catch they cost you money. just like if you were to mount a fish.

[lilgecko96]

Thanks Dustin, I thought you were gonna come in but it's OK. I want to go fishing as soon as the Skegon goes down to a fish able level.


Do you have a relative named Audrey in the high school?
no i didnt, sry bout that i had to hed to work after i dropped them off, for sure as soon as the water gets down a lil bit and i get a day off work ( i hate golf courses)

[alexsalmon]

Real funny guys!!! When the water goes down? It's friggin perfect right now!!!

Hey chaino when ya comin up?

[Dallas]

Well...what does $150 in gas, $70 in lodging, another $70 or so in food and drink then, add a beautiful day, 3 inches of rain the previous day, and a bunch of snow melt? No fishing and a great day to explore Western Michigan.

http://www.fishingporn.com/blog_images/lulu_boat.jpg

My buddy and I ran up to the PM thinking we would float M-37 to Gleasons. We walked in above Green Cottage only to find the river blown out. We knew it would be high, but had no idea it would be that blown out. We hiked out and figured a nights sleep and 8 hours would help the waters to drop.

Drove to M-37 and found the river had risen even more! So, after figuring we wouldn't be able to get Lulu's drift boat under the bridge (seriously, it was that high). Here is a photo of M-37...notice the 4x4 post sticking out of the water...there are 3 more that SHOULD be sticking out of the water by a foot or more.

http://www.fishingporn.com/blog_images/m37.jpg

We drove down to Oswego to see how the Muskegon was...not too bad but still chocolate milk and running fast. After talking to a local guy at the bait shop, he recommended checking out the White River in Hesperia - specifically the dam. We drove, found the town, found the dam and found about 30 local fisherman pitching bait, spawn, flies and whatever else. It was packed elbows to assholes. Crazy. So we drove downriver, checked a few spots out. For those who haven't checked out the White River, really a nice river. Again, it was also blasted out but we are seriously thinking about floating it. It had some nice runs and looked alot like the Pere Marquette.

We left Hesperia and the White River to hit Ludington and the Pier to see what fresh steelies were being caught. Not too much action that we saw, but had a great time and the weather was amazing. A last ditch effort was to drop my drift boat into the breakwater and fish the mouth of the Pere Marquette. After getting some info from the local DNR officer and finally going to the Coast Guard Office, we found we needed to have not jsut seat cushions but needed life jackets as it was considered Federal waters and not State waters. FYI for anyone. Check with the coastguard. I guess they can plug you with a fine pretty easily.

So after that part of the non-fishing adventure we figured we'd do a full circle and run across US-10 to Custer to check out the Weir. Pulled up and all was quite.

http://www.fishingporn.com/blog_images/weir1.jpg

As soon as we pulled out the digital cameras to take some photos and such (mine looks like a video camera) the guys turned the pumps on. Not sure if it was a coincidence as our idea was that it was suppose to run non-stop. Needless to say there were a BUNCH of fish stacked up below. Once the pumps came online several fish entered the weir. We watched for about 10-15 minutes and only saw 1 steelie and 2 suckers actually make it through. We saw many fish in the ladder system, but it really seems like they were having trouble getting up the flow. Just our amateur opinion.

http://www.fishingporn.com/blog_images/weir2.jpg

I am still not sold on the whole wier thing, but it is an interesting system. We have checked it out a couple of times each years since it has been in operation. For anyone who hasn't checked it out, it's worth the time to go see what the fuss it all about. The employees have been generally helpful and pleasant at the wier. One guy actually took us on a tour.

Welp, I guess that about wraps up our expensive non-fishing trip to the PM. It was a good time just wish we could've dunked a few flies safely.

Dallas

[scooter]

Thanks for the pix..can't believe the water was that high! I heard some guy got pulled out of his boat at green cottage last week. I guess he overshot the takeout and grabbed onto the tree that hangs over the river. From what I heard 2 guys happened to be there to pull him out, otherwise I think it would have ended differently.

[alexsalmon]

Nice Pics Dallas! I cant decide what to tie!!! I may be the first host to be late in his own swap!!!:D April 9th folks, not to long off!!

[2PawsRiver]

The 9th.....Crap, I thought it was teh 15th...................oh well, as long as mine get there before Romans.:D LOL

[drbnd]

Ill have mine there by the 9th.

[alexsalmon]

oh well, as long as mine get there before Romans.:D LOL


Well, jeeze your fine then!!!!

[chainolaker]

Hey chaino when ya comin up?

Hopefully the first weekend in May ! Once we know for sure I'll PM ya. My flies are done and ready to be mailed, you should have them before the end of the week.

[alexsalmon]

Hopefully the first weekend in May ! Once we know for sure I'll PM ya. My flies are done and ready to be mailed, you should have them before the end of the week.mmmmm streamer fishing!!!!!!

[chainolaker]

Streamer fishing??? Fishing PERIOD !!! (I love streamers) Spring so far has been too busy to get out. Hopefully I can play in our local river down here alittle bit first to get the rust off the wrist. Not that white bass are good eaters but they are fun to catch on a 2wt. and since the river is about a mile away I have no excuse. Once in awhile a steelie or walleye gets lost and ends up in the river as well.

[julius]

yes, the ninth is coming up...if i do one a day i should make it! been much too lazy..or too busy fishing!:D

[2PawsRiver]

Mine are in the mail.....:)

[scotty1834]

:rolleyes: Well Mark, now I am glad I did not say that mine will be there first because you must have turned into a tying machine with all that practice you are getting and there is no way I am gonna compete with you now :).
I bet you tie a fly every 30 seconds now and are making some big money selling flies on e-bay ;) .

I did however say, that mine won't be last this time and they won't cause they are in the mail as I type :D .

Hey Alex, I was gonna tie a few extra and didn't. Sorry man, I'll just give you some when we meet to fish this summer, oh, and don't send one of mine back. Just keep at least that one extra.

Thanks

I bet you tie a fly every 30 seconds now and are making some big money selling flies on e-bay

Those deer hair mice still take me about 25 minutes each to tie and believe me they don't bring in much money on E-Bay, but they do fetch a few dollars here and there which takes the sting out of some of the gear I have been having to buy for.........................MY TRIP TO ALASKA............in July.:) :)

Dang, I was all set to rib Roman about being last again................but they havn't made it there yet............theres still hope:D

[alexsalmon]

for.........................MY TRIP TO ALASKA............in July.:) :)

Just rub it in my face!!!:mad:

Julius, call me if I dont talk to you online. 1717

[Roman]

Those deer hair mice still take me about 25 minutes

I am sure it is still way faster than those first ones. You must be really getting good at it now with that much tying. I know I should tie more to get better at it but I just don't tie as much as I need to.

Oh, and about your trip, there is a little envy but I am truly happy for you. You enjoy it, scout it out for us and when you get back you can pm me a list of the best holes up there :D

I think I saw you this morning on I 94, but I was doing about 73 so it could have been someone who just looks like you. :)

Alex make sure you check your mailbox tomorrow, if they are not there I'll file a formal complaint with the postal service ;)

Which one of you guys sent in a set of flys for Roman:D

Oh man, and I thought fishermen can keep a secret. ;)

Boy oh boy, I wonder how long will my last swap's late mailing haunt me?

Can you guys image what I would have to put up with if I were late in this one? :)

All the ones who end up being late, I understand:D

Bring you flies tomorrow julius.

[julius]

will do-i totally zoned out after a full week of no school!

[Neeso1aj]

julius gets the Roman award. The only time being late is a really bad thing is when it deals with a period. If you make extra nice flies we can for give you Julius.

wo wo wo! unless im wrong it still looks like two are in the mail! if i can beat those mailmen i like my odds as i just have to hand mine to alex!:D

P.S. dont expect any amazing extras-maybe i'll send in the bass lure a made last time we were at sulak - a big treble hook with yarn stabbed into a pair of beer cans! anyone interested?

alex- nice to see your camera is here and in use!:) i only wish you wouldnt have used it to take such a terrible first picture:rolleyes:

[2PawsRiver]

the Roman award

Poor Roman, one set of flys late and a lifetime or ribbing.:D

Thats OK Roman, the titled is going to be claimed by somebody else........just depends on who gets there last.:)

[Roman]

Neeso1aj, what are you doing to me man???? :) Look what you did. Now you made and award out of that. Well, thanks alot ;)

Hey Mark, somebody else claiming the award does not help me much unless it gets renamed and I kinda doubt that you guys would let that happen

I guess it's ok, this is probably my only chance to be somehow famous anyhow :)

I can't wait to see who "wins" the award :D

[Neeso1aj]

I do that all the time. if you name an award after someone they usually wolnt do that something again. Im in a fraternity and if someone dosnt pay there dues and we have to do a fundrasier to make money we name it after them. People pay their dues pretty quick then. Sorry it had to be you. the way it looks im going to get the award for the skam swap. schools about kicking my *** right now.

[alexsalmon]

And the Roman award goes to...................... Ronc23!!!!!

Got everyones, will post a pic of the flies later.

[drbnd]

Thanks alexsalmon. Those all look good. What do you think? Good batch?

[alexsalmon]

Yea drbnd, definitly a good batch!!!!

Sorry guys, I didnt get the flies out today. I had a snow day so I didnt wake up till 1:30, well past when the mail man goes by.:(

Sorry

[2PawsRiver]

A Snow Day......I remember when I was a kid, when there was too much snow for the bus, we walked to shool, 5 miles, waist deep snow, uphill both ways.:D

Slept in till 1:30............when I was kid we had chores........school days got up 3:00 am to milk the cows, gather eggs, slop the pigs.:)

Lets see.............all the flys are there and Alex missed the Mailman.

Used to be called a Roman Award, then it became the Ronc23................not sure but it may now be the Alex Award.............or Late AA for Short.:p

Good looking bunch of flys..........they will be making the trip to Alaska.

lol, I knew I was gonna catch flak for that one!!

My stone fly is weighted go I prefer to fish that with a wet fly dropper, this fly was killer last year and I hope it will be this year.

[chainolaker]

Alex,
If you're gonna TELL people you slept in until 1:30pm, next time you better follow that up with "because I was mousin' all night on the PM" ;)

2PAWS: I never "slopped the hogs or "gathered eggs" but I know all about going to school smelling like a dairy cow ! (needless to say, the girls DON'T dig it !! ):(

No worries Chaino, I got all summer to rub that in Marks face, no need to start this early.:D

Thanks Mark, I owe you one.

I definitely second the "AA" as a new name for our award :D

Sleeping till 1:30 :rolleyes: , I don't think I've ever slept till after lunch :D

Sorry Alex, couldn't help it.

A far as sharing certain things with public, you should follow the famous "tripple S" from our hunting vocabulary. You know, "shoot, shovel, shut up". That can be modified for other things not just hunting.;)

It's all good Alex. We all get picked on once in a while. Go to bed early so you can mail the flies tomorrow. :)

Roman

[ronc23]

glad to see that I was only on the hot spot for a short period:D I'll be quicker to get them in the mail next time. The flies look good! I can't wait to get out and use them.

[scotty1834]

[Fishpm]

[Roman]

Very nice flies everyone,

Roman

[drbnd]

The white wobbler might work for steelhead. What do you all think?:eek:

[2PawsRiver]

Got mine today as wel.......great looking bunch of flies......thanks to all, especially Alex for hosting.

I will skipping the rest of the year as I am getting ready for ALASKA....did I mention I was going to Alaska.:D

[Lilgecko#2]

[drbnd]

Thanks everyone. Sweet, very sweet.:cool:

[alexsalmon]

Ya havent gotten yours yet!!??!?!?!? Ya only live like 15 miles away!!!!!:confused: :confused: I dont know, maybe this weekend I'll shot ya a PM as we get closer to saturday.

Yea yea mark we know, your going to alaska.:mad:

I bet the wobbler would work well!!

[Roman]

Hey Alex,

Why did you send my fly back, that was a second one for you man.

Again, thanks everyone, I like this batch.

Roman

[alexsalmon]

I didnt mean to Roman.

[Dallas]

Got mine today. Nice lookin bunch!! Where is the warmer weather? I want to go trout fishing.

Thanks again Alex.

Dallas

[chainolaker]

The white wobbler might work for steelhead. What do you all think?:eek:

Though I've never been up for the steelie run I have had luck with the wobbler on all species. These work great for trout, bass, pans, and even had a salmon take one last year ! One guy in our group last year tied these in olive and purple and that's all he used for the salmon run. It's by far my "go to" when nothing else seems to be working.

[Lilgecko#2]

still waiting, i guess the mail is slow up here

[2PawsRiver]

Wow that is pretty slow.

Sometimes there is a clitch. I sent fly to Montana one time and it took three weeks to get there.
