Whoa! I never thought of that. The Carey is a N.W. pattern. Any relation?

5. Jim Lyons

"Whiskey River"

this will be grreat, already 5 tyers.

I am looking forward to this. I love going fishing when we can't go fishing. The picture on my previous post is of an osprey taking a big rainbow. I can't believe I caught it I am trying to up load a picture for my site, but am struggling to figure it out.

I thought about the Carey Special (no relation). Maybe next time. I like that Montana nymph!

Hey Marc,
I am sure I have seen you at Amber. I have a Green Gator twelve foot boat and troll alot. I am waiting for you to join the fly swap and choose the maroon wooly bugger of yours. Now I know you fish Amber because you don't like to feel fishing pressure...but that is one fish catchin' looking fly.
Jimbo

we need a few more!

ill tie up a second pattern if needed, maybe a easy little midge.

if there are only 6 tyers everyone will get two of each flys, still tie up a dozen.

Beresford, I can join in and tie a pattern for the swap. I have a friend visiting Rome right now so I can give him the flies to take back to the States when he returns next week. That way they it will be easier to get them sent out to you. I'll PM you with an address in the States where you can send the other guy's flies to me rather than sending them here to me in Rome.

The pattern I am tying is a general biot emerger (for a beatis hatch in this case).

It would be great to have some other guys join in.....
