Folks

just got a message from Coolwings - his flies will be in the post tomorrow and I'll get them out by end of the week. Bit early for sedges anyway

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 12:56PM

Oke,

Any joy sending out the swap?

okedoke · 29-06-2011 01:19PM

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.

okedoke · 01-07-2011 12:11PM

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

Steve

okedoke · 06-07-2011 03:53PM

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

okedoke · 07-07-2011 12:48PM

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 12:27PM

All finally posted except Jacko (waiting for your address)

Will post photo's on Sunday

coolwings · 12-07-2011 09:15AM

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

okedoke · 12-07-2011 01:45PM

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

yank_in_eire · 27-07-2011 10:48PM

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

thekevin4540 · 29-07-2011 06:06PM

what about a nimph one

yank_in_eire · 30-07-2011 09:43AM

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

b.w.ollie · 30-07-2011 09:49PM

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 03:09PM

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 08:04PM

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

yank_in_eire · 08-09-2011 06:40PM

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 08:38PM

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

yank_in_eire · 24-11-2011 07:52PM

I'm in
