They surely average even better than previous editions I've been involved in. There are some genuinely unique and original approaches and applications represented here.
These flies have me ready to sit down to replicate and experiment with all these ideas. That is if they all make it back from the obligatory trial run down at the pond.

Spinny,
If I remember a few years back you had nimble fingers of one of our very own special fly creations. Your classic fly caused great fear among the finned beauties, was pure poetry; a combination of simplicity, beauty, and great killing potential. It was aptly named "The Two Herl, Red Thread, Bead Eye, Asymmetrical Rubber Leg Nymph", and was dressed by Samuel Tisdale Society member, Master Spinzo. This pattern is in every fly box of every serious fly fishermen... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (gillbuster) http://thebasspond.com/sreply/7964 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 20:42:53 PST http://thebasspond.com/reply/7961/t/Pictures-of-2009-Bass-Pond-Fly-Swap.html#reply-7961 JeffSod wrote:

Fantastic selection of flies this year. I am sure anyone looking at these photos will wish they had participated. Thank you to all who contributed!!

These are some dandy flies, though. Two blocks each of 17 flies up for bids? That'll keep the gerbil running in the Interwheel for another month or two.

John, let me add my voice to those who have recognized your excellent contribution and dedication to maintaining this site. Thanks, amigo. It is my great honor to know and be associated with you.

Great turn out, awesome tying craftsmanship, and a outstanding selection of warm water flies as you will see... Hope you enjoyed the swap, and hope all members have a chance to view the wonderful fly tying and feel free to comment on any of the flies posted...

#1. This fly is a neat creation by Flytackle called the "Weed Walker"... as you can see, he's tied a strong piece of foam that is the weed guard that makes this warm water fly completely weedless. When Mr Largemouth chomps down on this fly, he's in for an introduction of "take me to your leader"... Alec used a unusual style hook to tie this fly, I would say it... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (gillbuster) http://thebasspond.com/topic/1818 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 18:55:57 PST
