Well I just walked on my porch and checked the box. They were there.
The other day, I was telling Wayne about a technique  I like to use called swymphing by West coasters, that involves fishing a fly as if it were a nymph in the beginning of a drift, then changing tactics and swinging it at the bottom. Not lifting, as in the standard SR floss maneuver, but as in throwing mends and giving  some slack to actually get a good crossing presentation. Your patterns look like they were designed for that, Andy. Thanks.

Fichy,something tells me you and I could share a portion of water with only 10 feet between us while we both manage to fish 50-60 foot of line without bothering each other. you basically explained a common method of mine thats been a staple of mine from a very young age on even stream trout... Never heard of the name swymphing but it makes sense. It is a deadly method and often when Ive rotated with other folks that technique was a high success when rotations took place. Often in the first or second cast. Switch rods compliment the technique very well. Those patterns work very well fished that way. Hope everyone has success with them. They are fairly simple to tie as well.

Just a heads up, the larger fly with fox tail is for earlier season and higher water while the smaller is for winter months ... But both can produce either time of year

We could and hopefully will, Andy. Wayne and I fished on Clint's rock 5' from each other and did well last fall.  Wayne took the nymphing seam, I took a short swing in the tail. Both produced fish.

The raffle winner was BigBear and he will receive a leather bound, parchment paper fishing log.
Just remember, there's a second part to this swap folks- now we got to fish 'em. I dedicated a section of one of my boxes to the swap flies. I'll use them wherever i feel they'll work. First person to catch a salmon or steel on one of the swap flies not their own will win some ceramic nippers and some flouro tippet.  Please try to get a pic if you can, otherwise we'll go on the honor system if you have a good corroborating story.  Looks like we beat the run with the swap, I'll get them out as soon as I can.
