Tight Green Girdle? A guess from a friend of mine! Kim

Gee, nobody mentioned that I was so short winded! :rolleyes: Glad it got my point across! Kim

A couple oldies from England for today's 2X2's. Charles Cotton designed these fly patterns in the mid 1600's in England. Cotton was best known as an English poet and formed a friendship with Izzak Walton around 1655 and contributed to Walton's famous The Compleat Angler in its second edition...

A couple poly(propylene) 2X2 patterns today. Both are fly box stuffers! Black Magic - This is a pattern developed by a river guide from Coldwater, Michigan named Terry Klavinski around 1985. It should end up ~ 5/8" to 3/4" long when finished and can be fished dry as is or fished wet with an...

Since February is the second month of the year, I thought that I would tie some 2X2 patterns from my collection. Let's start with some New Zealand Killer style streamers. Black Pete - this is one that actually was designed in NZ! Designed by John Morton of Christchurch. Hook - Mustad 9671...

NP! If you need, I have a few hundred patterns that are 2x2's I can suggest. Kim

Well I got a heads-up from Buzzy and let's just say I'm glad I'm here.

We now have 6 people registered which means that this swap is a go, but I think that we will get a few more involved! BTW, my fastest filling swap took only 22 minutes to fill on the FTF site! That site has about a dozen fine and experienced host with at least 3-6 overlapping swap choices...

For this swap only the hook and tying thread are free. BUT, if you were to pull a Frank Sawyer and use that rib material as the thread...:cool: You are in either way! Kim

I'm a new member here and have just posted my first fly swap - The Ark Swap" found on the next thread - 'Fly Tying and Entomology". I've been tying flies for over 50 years and hosting fly swaps going on 12 years now on other sites. What is a fly swap? It is simply a where a bunch (6-12) of...

I live a little over an hour's drive from the West Canada Creek and Fran's old shop! Kim

Thanks and you are all in! Kim

You are in my friend and welcome. Please not I forgot to include that I'd like to post the name of your pattern ASAP. This is so someone doesn't come in and swoop it from you. I've updated the rules to include this! (I've been tying for over 50 years and that means one important thing - I'M...

First, most fly swaps are open to all level and experience tyers - ALL of the swaps I host are. Do NOT feel that you have to be a professional level tyer! They are a fun way to better and widen you tying ability. You simply tie a fly for each participant, they'll do the same and when the host...

I see that there is enough interest so I'm formally listing the swap on a new thread and I look forward to working with you all! Kim

.. Yes they were. The story is that they both sat down at the kitchen table one night and listed everything that they would want in a fly fishing/tying site and FAOL was born. Jim di the business end (working on the $$ from sponsors and Deanna (Ladyfisher) ran the site. Things cut back when...

(y)(y) - start to walk before we run! Besides I JUST LOVE 2X2's! Kim

First thing I did was copy any and just about ALL the patterns from Just Old, Man in Canada, FOTW,... I'ts been a while since Ladyfisher has passed and, as I understand it, there is a single volunteer site admin trying to hold the forum together. The "search" box lost it's ability about a year...

Hi, my name is Kim and I love to host fly swaps. I cut my teeth on them back when FAOL was still an active on-line magazine as well as an active forum (I have used this screen handle on all the sites I currently belong to) - I'm OLD and don't want to test my memory remembering a whole slew of...
