If you forgiving folks don't mind, I'd like to switch myself to a full swapper. I have a friend not long in the flyfishing game (but who has become a deft tier) who might appreciate getting the swap's assortment passed along to her.
(I won't push my luck by asking for my old number back
)
1. AKGrayling - Lewis Lunker
2. Bow92 - Griffith's Gnat
3. Castandblast - Still deciding...
4. Hunterbug - I'm thinking but probably a soft hackle peacock
5. Couesdeer - BWO thorax
6. Qtip - AuSable Wulff
7. Sitkadeer - stone fly nymph, exact tie to be determined
8. Fishkilla - conehead sparkle bugger
9. Houndgirl - undecided
10. Ned - Undecided
11. Troutfly - Bow River Buggers
12. Leftybolt - V-rib Golden Stonefly Nymph
13. Steelhead - undecided
14. macrabbit - Bonefish Killer
I also queried a trusted fisher about the performance of the BK. Besides being a killer sight-cast on the bonefish flats, the fly has succeeded as an attractor/streamer thingy for surf perch and for shad; and he tells me that it is of a type with some other sparse flies he takes to Alaska for salmon and that the BK will go along next trip. So I feel more comfortable tying it for the swap, knowing that it will be a usable fly.
