Pretentious Snobby Bastard Fly Fishing!

Cause green weenies are ghey!

Tie a dozen of your best dries for wild fish and we will swap them at the shindig....this gives you tossers plenty of time so tie something nice or potentially lose an eyebrow....or worse  -+;

Who's in?

I will be doing the crystal calftail...

Overboard, you caught me off guard, did you say SMALL STREAM? I thought you was a SMALL MOUTH whore. Damn, now I gotto give up some black book secrets? I'm in. I will admit, I haven't tied a dry trout fly in years, but it sends the message. Pack the tungsten and lead away. Spring is gonna be here in a jiffy. :D
Stimi's are the shit. I don't use anything else in spring/summer on a blueline. BTW, you want them with some BS? rubber legs? I been fucking around with some prototype stuff I found in a fly box my mom sent me from UK when I could still tie half decent. Now if i could just get my hands on some damn Egyptian Goose flight feathers...

I like my woman cleanly shaven, my dries, bushy. Comprende?

I like a humpy personally, but I think there's a good chance I'll be rowing my trailer park drift boat to look for toothies while you gheys are diddling fish smaller than my flies.

Id like to stand on the bow of that vessel, Mr. Bullship.

Tranny...I cannot tell a lie, small mouth do give me a chubby....but even cicadas come out every 7 years or so.

I too am kinda smitten with stimis.... My favorite version is the stimi chew toy ( foam underwing and rubber legs ).

Fuck it, put me down OB, I'll tie something that floats.

Tranny should like those....they look plenty bushy.
Since nobody else seems interested I'm gonna close this but I'd still like it to be a doz.  Either all the same, same pattern but two different colors or a half doz. of two different patterns....your choice, but everyone will still get a doz. flies back.

Send the flies to :

Tom Dougherty
637 Springflower  Rd.
Wagener, SC. 29164

Make sure they are in a crush proof container  and include a note as to whether you need them sent back or whether I can deliver them to you at the spring fishing trip.   Make sure to have them to me by the end of March.

They won't be bushy when they're done. Which is ok because Tranny has said he prefers shaved. I'm good for the dozen.

This is the finished product of those hairballs above.

Expect poorly-tied flies with crowded hook eyes Friday.

Bmadd...sorry I'm a little behind the 8ball with all this shitty weather...your flies arrived a few days ago...I'm assuming they are yours...haven't opened them yet.

No worries OB, deadline is still off in the future. Flies should be mine

Any of the rest of you underachievers gonna send your flies in?   p;- late swaps

I was going to hand them off at the campground.
But no, the swapmaster bailed.  ;D

I'll be a wee bit late.
I hate tying dries.

i just kinda thought it was dead.

Edit: 
A couple of things....
I woke up this morning freezing my bag off because the bunk heater in my truck quit...and that got me to thinking....screw that! Its gonna be colder than a well diggers ass in the mtns 10 days from now...I could do that shit when I was in my 20's even 30's but I've rounded the corner to turning fifty and I'm not playing that shit anymore. Not to mention, considering who it is getting married I am pretty obligated to attending ( big sigh )

Anyway....if you guys wanna call this off I will send Bmadd his flies back with some consolation bugs for his trouble, I know Cameron ain't gonna be heart broken....and I'll send Tranny a few flies to feed the rhodos just because.

Bmadd....that O.K. with you?

I'm pissed..............  J/K, I think I tied most of those on your hooks anyway.  Feel free to send some of them on to Bmadd and Tranny, or keep them whatever is fine with me.

OB, I am good for whatever. To be honest, I maybe only get to fish for trout one trip a year so I don't necessarily need any back. Whatever you want to do, I'm cool with.

Well shit. I'm half done.

Whatever the swapmaster decides.
This spring's swaps have had some strange twists and turns.

Psst. Forecast is nights in the upper 40's, low 50's.

Has not been much interest in folks participating or completing the two swaps. Pass mine out at the trip, fish um or throw them in the campfire.

Word on the street is that the streamer swap is complete. A miracle!

A little more time and this one could finish up the same.
I'll be done this coming weekend. I'll swap 'em or fish 'em in NC.

Well shit, Tom, I'm sending mine to ya, or I can give em to you when I see you next month
I'll hand mine out at the Spring get together. Fuck all time to myself as of late. Between working, driving fast to fish and working at the ranch, I haven't had much time.

Hell....just seemed to me that interest in completing this was shot to hell....since several of ya said your at least part way there....let's go ahead with it....just so t happen in time for the trip. My world has been a bit FUBAR too.

I'm shallow. I just want me some OB flies.  ;D

We doin this thing or what? :-\

Nope

Just send out what you got. We've got one that's a definite no, one that ties one dry fly per every other leap year, one bitten by the love bug, and one asking for flies from another swap but hasn't done his flies for this swap.

OK then....this swap is officially dead. I'll try to make it right for you and Cam. I need to put my tying crap away until I get my desk back together and have a place to work....this was the last thing I had looming.

OK. I officially suck.
I am tying up the last few, manana.
I'll send them. ?

If Doug finishes that's fine. Don't feel you need to do anything else OB. Just split up the 3-4 groups of flies and go.

You all make me feel a 100 times better about my streamer swap. 

Braden, Shut yo shit barfday chicken breh. Tom, pm dat Addy. Ain't nobudday but you getting my winged crab legged stimis.

 p;-

I should have joined this swap... This is at a level I can achieve.

You bunch of fuckos are cornfusing  me :-\
I'll wait for dougfish and Tranny...dammit send a dozen bugs! Bully is out...no hard feelings....Troutfanatic...where do you stand?  Hell I'm cool either way....just didn't want to be in swap limbo till 2016.

Bigj....my wife has yet to throw Bmadds flies in the trash...but if we don't move on this thing its still a possibility. :o

Will be in the mail by Friday.



Even if they suck.  d:b

Mine might have a better chance of hooking something in the trash than in a river.

Dougfish....your flies came in today.

Tf....the message came to my phone but not my pm inbox? Plus I've been working 16 hr days......that sucks. Those flies will work fine....now its just Tranny we be waiting on....where you at you saffa shithead?

He's dodging me.....he's a dodgy Lil' fucker. :;!

TF.....your flies are in.....waiting on Tranny.

Tranny finally sent me some bugs....I almost shit myself. I will do my damnedest to get these sorted out and back in the mail today....if not Monday morning fer sure!

Ya....its gonna be Mon. Morning....my day has already gone to hell  -0-

Yes! Can't wait to get these summer swap flies

Patience of Job, that OB.  -0-

 :laugh:

Y'all gonna have to come up with some new rules for swaps!

OK....here's the deal....they are going to the post office as of now. Promise! The only ones toe tagged are Bmadd's and Dougfish's ....Troutfanatic tied tiny white and black parachutes, Tranny threw in an array of hoppers and some humpys, FF22 tied cracklebacks and chuck caddis...and since I worked with him on them you're getting extras from me....I tied the crystal calftail, chuck caddis,cracklebacks and threw in some oddball shit as extras including some store bought humpys and orange stimis....sorry bout that but I changing jobs has all my tying shit put away and I was trying to be a nice guy and make sure everybody got back more than they sent.....in the end I think you'll agree there is a nice assortment......hope y'all enjoy them!

Snata stuffed the stockings. Maybe a late swap is good?

Thanks OB. Pics?

If we sign up now, must of y'all will be ready to tie when the shack nasties start.

Tom, iffn I get em before the 24th, I'll use em on them Native Goldern trucha. Otherwise I'll use em on the less than acceptable punes of WNC & WV when I get back. Say, you tie skrimps, crab or mullets? Lookin to expand my range on surf donkeys.

Sorry...didn't take pics....and I was feeling like a slacker of a host till you asked  :laugh: 
Y'all should have them by Friday.... Tranny  I'd love to help you out but all my shit including my floaty botes are piled up in a shed awaiting for the day I can fix it up into my man cave....unfortunately I just took a wad of cash to pay for all new flooring and paint in the house and to finish up the deck in the back....I've also got a shit ton of cleaning up to do around the property. I just blew $1,800 on a DR power grader.....I think the wife is expecting some shit to get done around here...fishing and tying in the near future looks bleak  b'; 

Its gonna kill me if any good swaps come up on the Suk and I have to sit back and watch  >:(

Got my flies Friday. Thanks for holding on and getting this done OB

Nice ties! Thanks all, esp. Tom.

It ain't easy be swapmaster to the stars retards.

This is why I don't do fly swaps any more. You cheap basturds go buy some flies if you are too lazy to tie some to fulfill your obligations. Don't sigh up for the shit if you ain't going to deliver.

Steve....I tied for what I signed up for...if you had read the post.....I wanted to throw some extras in as a thank you but switching jobs had me putting my tying shit up because we are also remodeling the house....so I threw in some store bought flies as extras.....sorry I let you down....oh wait..... You weren't in this thing so its none of your fucking business!

Not aimed at you Tom. You give away more quality tied flies than anyone I know. I'm talking about some of the other conic no shows. Sorry you took it that way. I was talking about swaps in general like the NCAA one and any number of others where people sign up and never come through. I have never known you to fall into that category. If everyone could tie like you and took care of their responsibilities I might participate. We good now?

Sorry

Fair enough....but I sent each person back 4 hand tied flies to their two (except for trout fanatic who sent three for everybody) plus sent the cash back to those who added postage....I really read it as though you were shitting on me for copping to the fact that I threw in some store bought flies which I would never normally do but circumstances have me in a position where I couldn't do all I wanted. I felt like I was just trying to be generous and got shit on for it.

Definitely not my intention. Now that I read the whole thing I see what you're saying. Like I said, definitely not my intention to single you out, or say something about you buying store bought flies. Hell you did the right thing.

I just noticed your Sig line from Casino....love that movie.....especially the scene with the pen.

You invoked the NCAA poll flies?

There's more than a few deadbeats who ain't paid up yet.
