Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Did I hear someone say that it's time for another Swap?

Oops! Sorry I left you off, didn't do it on purpose.

No panic. I just came up with my pattern this AM.

Welcome aboard, buzzer.
Don't worry about beating my time. I learned my lesson last year.
Not to mention, right now I'm buried under tying projects.

Buzzer was an "also ran" in a very, very good book!

Ishmael, I know. Also Ivanhoe, Captain Nemo, Orrin Sackett, and Bob Cratchit. But Buzzer?

I think there are 3 zzzzzzzzs

Anyone ever tell you snore?

I've heard that I znore.

What are the tying projects?

The local club wants boxes of flies for its annual dinner/auction; a feller wants to experiment with differently weighted versions of two flies (one of which already takes nearly an hour to tie), and he has a separate theory he wants to test, so I have to dream up ways to put together the thing he's imagining; the Swap, now, which entails a new tie I've got to think through and prove; and a big run of test Aztecs using some special materials (Sitka deer will like the results of this last project).
Now you've gotten me depressed! I just estimated and calculated and totted: I've got a good(?) 60 hours of tying ahead of me!

Ya wanna buzzz down and give me a hand?

Wheewwwwww that's a lot in only 60 hours and sounds like fun. I'd love to fly down and help (except for the hibernation factor). I'm looking at 60 hour to get the 13 swaplets done - and the special packaging. Presentation is everything.

OK, now you've committed yourself to giving us each 4 hours worth of flies in the Swap. Don't disappoint!

The experts agree with you. I've often heard that presentation is more important than choice of fly.
Your mosquito matchbook is a jewel.

And caught fish to boot!
Is there a fly called urge "Impostrophy" yet? I have an idea....

urge?

her good ol' iphone, at its best, editing her every keystroke!

Ah.

But, no, Zzzubber, there doesn't appear to be an Impostrophy fly. Yet.
