Buzzers arrived today.

Really great set of flies looking forward to trying some of them out at Haddo

Thanks again Baz for organising the swap, any time you want to organise another one, you can count me in.
    

[Barry Robertson]

Glad to hear everyone is receiving their flies ok.
Let me know if any of them are catchers 

Any ideas for the next swap then

How about a Lure swap   good chance to get them tried out at this time of year

Alex

[Barry Robertson]

A lure swap eh!
I like the sound of a cormorant swap - not to lureish and a bit nymphy 

[Iain Goolager]

Baz,

wash your mouth out! ................cormorant............. nymph

I just might participate this time - If I'm allowed seem to be finding time to tie late on at night.

Thanks for the pic's of the buzzers - some are already filed away for the next run on buzzers.

LOL
Must be a purist then Iain!
I reckon a cormorant could be passed as a nymph if i fished it slow enough!
Its better than a size 8 cat anyway! 

[Cameron deBoth]

NOW NOW GIRLS hehe   

I think I might be able to remember how to tie a lure, normally use the pureist mehtods 

[Barry Robertson]

LOL
I think there is to much bad press for un natural looking flies!
 I go fishing to catch fish and if it means giving them something they will munch on so be it! I will throw them a blob if they wont take my buzzers lol 
I bet a lot of people do but would not be keen to admit it

Could always make it dry fly if you want purist, recon I could still tie a mean size 22 midge pattern.

[Cameron deBoth]

Bigtroot - I have nothing again lures, I have recently bought a new box to house some of the lures I had from years ago and also for some of the newer ones I have tied recently

Cat - Dont have any hooks that small

I vote a lure swap, and this time Ill send a self addressed (AND STAMPED) envelope

[Alex Burnett]

Cat - Dont have any hooks that small

And there was me thinking you were a purist

I guess a lure swap would be good , at least they are usefull flies 
I just started my 2 weeks so plenty of time for me to rustle something up!

[Mike Barrio]

You could make it "CD"s

Cormorants and damsels ...... this would leave any future swaps open for other winter type flies?

Well done with doing the fly swaps by the way Baz

Cheers
Mike

I think this is a braw idea and its quite catchy , it sounds like a purist swap but we know it has a twist!

Would i say a thing like that???
I reckon they would have their uses 

October entries for the Haddo Winter League:
Alex Burnett - 20 fish

Your flies cant be to bad after reading those reults 

[Alex Burnett]

Baz

Cormorants & Damsels sounds good to me, will see what I can rustle up 

Was using a fly named by Mike as a "Shamrock" (Damsel) so guess this will be what I will tie up
might do some extras as well. Agree that a Stamp Addressed Envelope is a good idea.

Alex

[clark]

could i join in ??

[Mike Barrio]

Hi Baz

If you want to make it really like a purist swap ....... you could make it "CDC"s?

Cormorants, damsels, or cats

Cheers
Mike

[Mike Barrio]
