Normally do it in 10s - 12s but could do 14s, sounds like I have some competition for crappy tier award.


Try tying it in a 14.

Should I add you to the list?

Noob question... should I leave the barbs intact or pinched?
(I've never participated in a swap/contest.)


Just leave the barbs intact, whom ever wins the fly box could decide whether they want them barbed or de-barbed.

Still using the dries I swapped with Stewmon several years ago. He is one of the best fly tiers I have ever seen. His little bugs are works of art and they catch fish too.

Well well well, look what we have here. New arrivals from tenandtwo aka Terry. These nymphs are ridiculously buggy, no doubt these buggy critters work from the link posted to his TR. Thanks for the extras set Terry, I really do appreciate the flies and will put them to good use real soon.

Still plenty of time for more to join in, only 8 spots left.

Can you PM me your address Benny? I'm ready to send mine in
