THANX RENE for getting the ball rolling. I like your hook size, etc.
which will make it lots easier. I hesitate to put a number on the swap.
Let's just see how it plays out. No matter how many flies, will give me
something to do. I'll let you guys decide on the particulars. Time
frame. etc/ WHAT EVER will be fine with me.

P.S.I do like hook size 10 and larger. These old fingers can handle
those much better.

Hi Jimmy,
Best wishes from my family to you. Sorry to hear about your constraints.
I decided not to do a lot of swaps any more, simply running out of time.
But this _is_ a good reason for a swap. I'll join. Let's say, hooks
larger than 10?, so that;s 10, 9, .... to make it clear. Easier for us
old chaps.
I will do a streamer, some bucktail.

I continue to have good days and bad days. The Essential Tremor

yet, because I can still "think"
Stop and it stops. I can hold it indefinitely. In fact the members
of my Rotary club weren't
aware of the tremor until I told them during my program last week on
rattlesnakess. ;-)
The worse part of the deal is the atrophying of the muscles in my
calves and pain in my feet.
This is not part of the essential tremor, just another "rock" in the
road for me to navigate
around. It's Osteo Arthritis in my feet. This is what makes it
impossible to "wade" anymore.
There's a neme for this one, but with all the ailments I have with
feet and legs, it doesn' seem
important anymore. The bottom line is that my balance is shot. I can
wade, but takes two wading
staffs and that's abundle what with my chest pack and the other "must
haves"
If you guys could come up with a simple FLY for me to tie, I'd love
to enter a "simple swap."
and see how it goes. If I can handle it, I'll enter some more
difficult swaps. I always said, "If
I can no longer wade, then tying is the next best thing."
Looking forward to hearing from you guys. What say - A Handicapped
Swap for Jimmy D.
