6 for U at rendezvous
Aug 6^th, 2010, 11:22am

Ok I'm limiting this to 4 people.
You tie 24 flies and each person gets 6 tied by you.
Flies are due at Rendezvous.

the point is to fill your box with enough of each pattern to fish an afternoon or so.

I prefer if you only tie one pattern to get maximum affect.

People signed up are:
1. Myself - Caddis Dry
2. Anayalator 22 - yellow sallie dry
3. Liam - Knotty Nymph
4. Spencer - Parachute Adams

Two more slots available,
Anyone? Huh

I will tie a nymph, which I suspect will be very productive for someone during the 'vous. I'll call it the TKN, or.......The Knotty Nymph You'll get to see a preview at the trials next weekend.

I hear you guys, but this is an annual swap and I love the format so I'm going to stick to it. Last year we did 5 and I thought it was too much in the end ... so I vowed to do 4 people only.

Ryan, start a swap... it will fill up quick. You can do the same format and you'll love it.

when you get 4 rows of 6 flies each, you'll be stoked.

Have fun,
Cris

I tied flies with Drewski Saturday night. When I sat down at the table I just wasn’t feeling the original fly I wanted to tie so I started tying what seemed right at the moment and decided to change my fly to a caddis pattern which has been working for me lately and on a lot of different rivers. I ‘came up’ with the color scheme although the materials I use are basic so it’s likely that it’s been done before… I have yet to name this fly. I tied 6 of them and man do they look yummy. Cheesy

So we have:
Cris – Caddis Dry
Drew – Yellow Sallie Dry
Liam – The Knotty Nymph
Spencer – Parachute Adams

Man alive! Shocked

That’s going to be 4 rows of killer flys. 6 caddis drys, 6 yellow sallies, 6 Knotty Nymphs, 6 Parachute Adams.

I hope more folks start doing this format... I enjoy it a lot and it's a great way to fill your box! it offers a different type of incentive and is a great compliment to the typical swap format.
