irongustavius Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Thinking of doing a fly swap if anybody is keen. Open for ideas on what to tie, but I was thinking nymphs / dries that work (or that you think will work) in the local trout waters (local being TCD, Cox's and Fish Rivers etc). I'll either tie up a Christmas nymph or a lyre bird tail emerger depending on what people want. Royce I'm looking for a contribution from you mate! So . . . who wants in?
irongustavius Posted November 7, 2011 Author Posted November 7, 2011 Well so far this seems like a bit of a failure. I'll tie some for myself and let you all know how it goes!
luderick -angler Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 I think I posted similar I am in you know that! Well we can tie up some for each other and show the love!!!!!
taloyoak Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 why don't you just go on a date already you two!
irongustavius Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 why don't you just go on a date already you two! Triple date? Would Tanya get jealous?
Matt Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 If your really interested I guess I could swap some Bead Head MkII Woollys or some Muz Wilson Fuzzel Buggers I have been tyling lately. Why don't we first up start a thread with photos of what we tie? Most of my stuff is mainly aimed at the Snowies (with some TCD and Pejar specific bits thrown in). Windy

I'll take some photos on the weekend and we can judge if the flies are worthy of swapping.
mrsswordfisherman Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 What a shame. I remember a long time ago there was a fly swap on here and I really enjoyed looking at the pics of the great work.
luderick -angler Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Done I have some nice wee hackled wet bead heads that have come along nicely perfect for swing on the rivers and slow retreives in the margins in the lakes! I'll test one out soon hopefully!!!! Edited November 11, 2011 by luderick -angler
Matt Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Tied up a couple of Black Nymphs with a bit of flash through them for use in the Rivers around Goulburn. If the go ok will post up some photo's shortly. Cheers Windy

Mind you they didn't seem to be taking anything but dragonflies. Anybody have a good dragonfly pattern?
Matt Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 If they are on Dragonflies I wouldn't bother, they are near impossible in that mood. The closest you might get is a Damselfly immitation (Dragonflies are too big to get an accurate representation) but to be honest I normally keep walking when I come across them feeding on Dragons. Amazes me how the Trout can get them in mid-flight though! Windy

But pretty sure he is only tying saltwater flies at the moment.
luderick -angler Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 You need to contact 'Royts'. But pretty sure he is only tying saltwater flies at the moment. Kurt it does'nt matter as I like to a bit of saltwater and its a fun thing to do to se ewhat everyone else i tying Angus I reckon we set a date to start this baby and get going I will put some oicks up of recent ties and gentlemen decide which one you like best and thats what i'll tie!

luderick -angler Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 7. Coffee bead olive and black bugger 8. Red bead brown and black bugger 9. The Gaylord Folker Woolly Bugger (bead head is optional in blue or red or day glo orange)
luderick -angler Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Right o Gus..........theres my contribution!
kurtisjohnthomas Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Yeah I reckon this is a great idea.
cc118 Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 4. coffee bead hackled wet 5. azure bead head hare and copper 3. day glo red bloody bugger I really like that azure bead head hare and copper. I think that patten will do very well on the Coxs river. Sorry guys, i'd really like to contribute, but haven't had the time lately to tie. Regards Caddis
luderick -angler Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 azure bead head for you Chris no worries! 2mm or 3mm beads? or bit of both the 3mm is reasonably heavy probably too heavy for Coxes flow! But down south its another matter!!!!
irongustavius Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 Right o Gus..........theres my contribution! Okay . . . the pressure is on me then! I'll put up some pics of some dries and folks can pick what they like the look of.
taloyoak Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 You should really save those Lyrebird feathers so you have a quill for work. Nothing would beat signing documents than with a massive Lyrebird quill and a little bottle of ink! Okay . . . the pressure is on me then! I'll put up some pics of some dries and folks can pick what they like the look of.
