Steve

okedoke · 21-06-2011 12:46pm

very tough - high winds for the first 3 days making fly fishing (and boat handling) tough and clear skies all day on the 4th day. I caught a good few brownies including a few nice ones, the guys I was with caught 1 good sea trout on the fly and a grilse and another on the troll. Good fun but you really work for your fish. Will be going back.

premiercad · 29-06-2011 1:56pm

Oke,

Any joy sending out the swap?

okedoke · 29-06-2011 2:19pm

Had update from Coolwings this morning - he has one fly left to tie and then post them . All the rest are packaged and ready to go so just waiting.

I have delayed the sending out.
The dozen flies I tied went missing, they still are AWOL.
So I had to tie up a duplicate set, and that went to Okedoke today.
He should have them and be ok for sending them at the end of the week.

I now have all flies and they will be posted on Monday

Steve

okedoke · 06-07-2011 4:53pm

Up the walls at work - flies in the post tomorrow - sorry about the delay!

okedoke · 07-07-2011 1:48pm

Flies ready to go - I'm missing two addresses though (you probably sent me envelopes but I can't find them)

Can you PM me your address

Agreed. Wish granted

okedoke · 08-07-2011 1:27pm

All finally posted except Jacko (waiting for your address)

Will post photo's on Sunday

Steve

coolwings · 12-07-2011 10:15am

Just advised that the flies arrived in the post this morning.
I'm looking forward to seeing them after work.

okedoke · 12-07-2011 2:45pm

Excellent Coolwings - going fishing this evening - so hopefully will have photo's up tomorrow

yank_in_eire · 27-07-2011 11:48pm

Anybody interested in another?
Maybe saltwater this time?:D

thekevin4540 · 29-07-2011 7:06pm

what about a nimph one

yank_in_eire · 30-07-2011 10:43am

Yeah , I suppose since we've done SW once already. I'm in for nymphs.

b.w.ollie · 30-07-2011 10:49pm

just a small suggestion, but has any one ever noticed how at a lot of angling club meetings some members donate their prizes to Des Chew for the Angling Initiative ( they do great work getting kids into angling, including Fly Fishing ) so how about organising a tying session where people instead of swapping flies Donate them to the Initiative instead. If people feel they would like this idea perhaps someone could come up with a list of flies (I think the kids mostly fish rainbow fisheries ,and I'm a river man) Those interested could tie some or all of the list and send them on to Des Chew. Each set would give a kid a good start,instead of the rubbish that pass for flies that come with fly rod sets. Any takers?

yank_in_eire · 31-07-2011 4:09pm

Sounds good to me - or we all just tie a few extra for that purpose. That way we get flies, the kids get flies and everyone is happy!:D

okedoke · 01-08-2011 9:04pm

I'm off on my holidays in two weeks so I'll sit this one out.

yank_in_eire · 08-09-2011 7:40pm

Not a lot of interest right now - maybe we'll leave it off until the season is over - something to do on those long winter nights:D

jack01986 · 22-11-2011 9:38pm

Anyone interested in another one of these? Some off season fly tying.

yank_in_eire · 24-11-2011 8:52pm

I'm in

okedoke · 26-11-2011 12:04am

Yea - I'm up for it

Sorry, FLaberdeen

jack01986 · 05-12-2011 11:54pm

Sure we can do nymphs, will wait and see if a few more numbers join up before setting a deadline.

whelzer · 13-12-2011 6:09pm

Swap still on?

I'll join in if so- if nymphs I'll tie some grey/shrimpy chaps..

jack01986 · 14-12-2011 5:35pm

Ah jaysis howyeh Our! Yeah big changes across the board - a lot of dead wood getting cut out. It's nearly a different place.

Nymphs sound good to me, and so does waiting til after Crimbo. Going to be mad busy before then but after it will be time to start filling the box for the coming season anyway.

premiercad · 18-12-2011 11:29pm

I'll do a Baetis Nymph and a Czech Nymph, after christmas is fine for me too

zziplex · 09-04-2012 5:00pm

Any more swaps on the go?

whelzer · 11-04-2012 4:53pm

Folks,

I normally wouldn't dream of doing a fly swap this time of year but will be out of (fishing) action for a while due to small operation from next week onwards.

So I'll offer to run a swap if anyone is interested.

Quick run through a fly swap. Say we get 10 people involved, You tie 10 of the same fly and send them and a SAE to me.

I'll divide them out equally and send you back your SAE with 10 flies one of which wil be your own.

Its a good way pit your skills against other tiers and to see what other people can achive, styles etc.

Anyone interested??

I mostly fish dry fly on rivers but would be happy keep the theme broad so any trout pattern you'd like.

Good stuff Yank..

I presumed I could edit my post above to add you in - I'll ask the mods what the story is.

So any more tiers out there???
