The Driftless Angler Fly Shop has stocked this fly but it opened in 2006. I watched John Bethke demonstrate how to tie it over twenty years ago.

Hi Ron, welcome to the swap. Just turn them in before you leave, as early arrivals are no problem at all. Just need to settle on the quantity first, or you can just send in 100 in case Rene gets it that high. lol Sometimes late arrivals for the deadline hold up a swap for a little, or even drop-outs needing replacements.
