I thought the theme of the swap was tough because I didn't just want to tie a Hare's Ear and a Mayfly pattern. I probably only tie about 6 or 8 to start with. All 4 for the swap are shiny new to me. I sent along the others in case the ones I picked are stinkers. I know they work. That little red and black leach catches fish. I've got a box full of black, olive, yellow, and red & black. The red & black catches fish best.

The pictures are really nice, by the way. It looks like you prettied them up a little too.
