Subject: [VFB] Late 2017 swap intro
Anyone up for a November or Dec. fly
swap? (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
