FWI .... I switched up my 2nd cause the WND Hot Spot Nymph was close to the Frenchie plus I received an order ysterday and I am now going to try to follow Charlie Craven's Basic Fly tying ....
You gents are going to be getting Charlie Craven ;-) Brassie with a Stagger twist lol
Recipe
Hook - Umpqua U201 Size-16
Thread - Black Ultra 0
Body- Ultra Wire Small
Dubbing - waspi Black Antron
Tied a bunch of these and I have to get my wire closer.
Tying size 16 is a 'lil' more challenging then 12 .... Don't know how u guys do 20 and smaller 😛int:

Hey Andrew - I can step back and let a master educate me at the grill just as easy I I can learn from our instructors on the stream! 🙂

Looking good Andrew.
How's everyone else doing? I haven't been at the desk in a while. Trying to exercise more and life in general has had the schedule jumping. On the up, or maybe it's the downside, I saw 252 on the scale again.

Joy and I are empty-nesters, so it's peaceful here. Just need to motivate myself to sit down and tie.

I've been working on it. I just can't quite seen to get it right. I've probably cut 2 and a half dozen after not being happy with them. I plan on trying more tomorrow. If I can't get it in the next day or two I might have to switch to something else. I won't be sending something I'm not satisfied with.

Hey guys, sorry life has been getting in the way, but I'm still in.
Been closing my store and liquidating my inventory.
I'll be tying a Half-Assed Fullback
Hook 1xl nymph hook
Thread : 6/0 Olive
Shellback and tail : Squirrel tail hairs with blond tips
Body : Peacock hurl, several strands twisted together, then wrapped for body
Rib : Small copper wire
Throat : Squirrel tail hairs with blond tips
May tie something else also, Norm

Country,
I have received two sets of flies already and I think more are on they way.
If it was just me I would say sure, but since there are others involved, you may want to sign on for the other swap in this thread -->Newbie Summer Pattern Fly Swap
If you want to swap a couple with me, just shoot a pm.
