Rope-dub bugger swap list – half-way there already. So far:
1. Don Ordes 2. Rene Zillmann 3. Wayne Blake-Hedges 4. Allan Fish 5. Rick Zeiger 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Getting Jim Moore to join in would make the list nostalgic, and filled with IOFF members.

(after the season is over) I have an idea for 10 tiers. Tie an easy fly design that I give- a rope-dub bugger pattern, and each swapper ties one color of it 10 times. (I’ll post a collage of a wide range of styles) Each color can be a different size and embellished with flash, eyes, cones- whatever, but the bugger basic style must be maintained. Since there are combination of colors, the selection would be infinite. Natural furs count as colors. This would allow big bass buggers, trout buggers, panfish buggers, even pike and saltwater buggers. A chili-pepper would even pass. But each color or combo must be by one tier, so there’s no repeats. I will post a picture palette of styles and colors to give some food for thought, and then we tie one on. Then we get to tying actual flies. (TUI flies are still acceptable) If this one runs over the number, that’s fine, since variations are endless and buggers work for everything. I have salt-water rope-dub jack-buggers that are just killer in Florida bays. (Ask Jerry Goldsmith) Just a rope-dub (highly segmented, tapered) bugger tied with bite tippet with flash green and blue materials. I thought a new twist would be to post your pilot-pattern on VFB for a comment session to get thoughts. Then if a VFBer wants to join or just post their comment or even their version (photo), that would make for a real fun swap with lots of participation that wouldn’t be time-consuming at all. Any takers? DonO -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
