Post by jonb » Sat May 16, 2015 10:08 am

i have 6 fly cases, all of which have no room in any of them, and now have a surpluss to the point where i have piles of loose flies in my appartment . I wont be able to use all that ive tied in one lifetime. I would like to trade the flies or sell if need be. i live in the everett area. pm me if interested to see pics. Wooley buggers, knudson spiders, elk hair caddis, zebra midge, caddis larvae, adult caddis, gnat, stayners ducktail, mosquito, the list goes on...i tie with trout in mind.

I tie knudson spiders which are almost a carey special, if you like carey special, you should try it, the only difference between the 2 patterns is in a knudson spider there is mallard flank , in a carey special it is pheasant rump feathers, the flies look and act almost identical. I tie knudson spiders because the material is more affordable, and in my opinion works better. Ive trolled these patterns side by side, the spider wins everytime.
