I will try to tie up a few of mine tonight and take a picture.
My tying area has been disturbed and the tv taken away so the little guy can watch movies in his room.
So the only time I can tie is when everyone else is sleeping and not disturbing me in the living room. I have to set up and take down my gear every time I want to tie. Soon enough I will get my man cave back to how it should be and get a digital cable box. I can't sit down and tie without some background noise like sports highlights or a hockey game.

sorry no picture...a real pain to try & uplload to this site..
So the fly is a Nightfigter: Hook wet fly#8-14 my tie for swap is #12 3906b
Tail Black calf tail or blk bear very sparse
body peacock herl 3/4 pcs.wrap around tieing thread reinforces it.
Blk.wet fly hackle [webby]1 11/2 turns behind the eye.
Now you can put a bead on the hook prior to tying it.Sliver.makes a good backswimmer imitaer.copper just helps it sink,but the best imo is a red sliver lined #8 glass bead.I fish in lakes,trolled or cast .small represent a small blk.nymph ,larger sz. a leech..tight lines &sinking corkies

Postage
i received a message today from one of the participants. the flys he mailed out were returned to him. after going into the post office to inquire and mail out again, it was deemed the envelope had insufficient postage. i just thought i'd post this info in hopes this doesn't happen to someone else. maybe if you're unsure your postage will cover your envelope, it might be a good idea to mail out from a postal outlet. again, i look forward to seeing your packages.

Here is Fishgunner's final product. I tried to shrink it down to a reasonable size. We will see how this comes out.
Sorry I didn't do it sooner FG. The site was down all day yesterday.

That sounds like something my old man used to say about going to school.
Now I have to take some pictures of my flies and post mine also. I am tying some of my competition flies at the same time. Also got another order for a couple dozen chronomids yesterday. So the vice will be warmed up and humming for a few days. In between it all I had time to head over to the Calgary Hook and Hackle Club tonight for the first meeting of the new year.

Well I have 6 of mine done so far and ran out of olive thread so I will be heading down to wholesale tomorrow to pick up some more tying supplies and hopefully some arrows for my bow since I have some wholesale cards to use up.
Should have these sent out on Friday or Monday. Now that I have these figured out and looking better then the first batch I think I am going to tie up a dozen for my own fly box and go test them on the oldman and crow in the near future.

stimulators almost done
Here is a sample of the stimulators I love to use in the fall. I dress them heavy so I can attach a small nymph to the stimy hook bend. The heavy dressing keeps the fly afloat, which allows me to double purpose it, one as an attractor, one as a strike indicator. When grasshoppers are on the menu it can be a fantastic setup.
I have 7 done, package should be in the mail by Monday morning.
Cheers
