not just a swap, a royal MF of a swap.

Here is a pretty good link that may spark some ideas for ya'll.

I'd like to see someone submit the royal coachman parachute.

Personally I'm getting in on this cause at a few points in the past while conversating with Gfen he convinced me to purchase golden phesant tail tips, an array of bright colored floss and numerous unnecessary animal furs. I think the least I owe him is combination of the said above on a hook.

Now I am confused. I am looking for the tail to pluck the fibers for legs. What Jay has is not what I am looking for?

I have been looking for Golden Pheasant tips, willing to buy.

Have you ever been to the Fly Tyers Heaven?

 

[SBecker]

Do I have to be dead for this?

 

[SBecker]

Will tie a Light Spruce

 

[flyfishermanj]

If there is room, I'll join. I will tie the Royal Renegade in a size 14.

[wsender]

No, but you'll think you've died and gone to heaven!

*rim shot*

Cool place though, he has the nicest assortment of materials I've ever seen.

 

[gfen]

"Golden pheasant tips" is pretty indicitive of having a bag of, ready for this, "golden pheasant tips." If he'd said "golden pheasant tails," then he'd have.. hold tight... tails!

Tippets.

Crests.

Tails.

There's room, you're in.

I'm not sure of JayL's status, so I figured he'll think it over for a bit or we'll languish and he'll get drafted.

Thanks Fancy Pants!

Gfen, whats a rounda bout number on how many we should tie?

 

[SBecker]

15 Would be my guess

 

[BrookieBuster101]

Alright sounds good.

 

[gfen]

11 people total, but one is you. You make ten for everyone else.

The website has moderators, if you feel that you're getting your money's worth, you tie extra for them. If you don't, well, they don't get 'em. That's your perogative.

 

[FrequentTyer]

If there is still room, I'll jump in with a TBD pattern. When is the due date?

 

[gfen]

When the slots are filled, we'll give it a week or two and a half.

1 gfen. royal coachman streamer.
2 little lehigh. royal elk hair caddis.
3 shakey. rc wet, biot wing var. (omgomgomg)
4 wsender. parachute royal humpy.
5 good fortune, partridge-and-royal.

Two open.

 

[BrookieBuster101]

Well I decided to kick the tying funk today and I have 7/15 done. Ill do a few extras for the mods.

I think the distinctive red silk band with peacock.

The various other parts of the fly are all sort of variable, as long as it would appear to be in the same vein. The Light Spruce is out there on the fringe, but its a perfectly valid idea, and one that alot of us have probabably never tried.
