Reply With QuoteI listened to a pod cast with George. He had a different take on weighting that's for sure.

I am on my way to the post office. I'll have my Bottom Rollers out shortly. I have only been tying about 6 months and I was hoping that my nymphs would not betray that, but upon inspection, I'm sure I failed. I tried to make them identical, but some have more ribs than others. You may have some sorting to do to find the most photogenic. Additionally, I just started reading "Dynamic Nymphing", and it seems George Daniel would find the Bottom Rollers too heavy for most situations, but they have caught a lot of fish for me, and with a decent sling-shot, you could kill a moose with one.

Kevin, speaking from a personal perspective, I would hope that there were varying levels of experience represented in all swaps I enter. I find that it makes me a better tyer and I like to watch the evolution ofother tyers as well. I have been swapping flies online since 1995 and have yet to feel disappointed, though I admit, sending mine out is sometimes a bit worrisome. I think the biggest thing about doing this is to use it to improve tying skills but even more importantly to have fun and meet new Tyers.......Kerry

I think it's a great excuse to force you to do one fly - and hopefully become an expert at it.

Mine were sent on the 2nd Feb, if you haven't got them by Saturday I will sent some new ones. Thought they would have been there, it normally takes about.7 to 10 days.
