Hi Tony, nice to hear from you. I figured you were busy with health issues and silent because you didn’t need another swap to stress you out. So sorry about that. Thanks for the info and for being around for us. Sure hope you’ve gotten ahead of this new problem in time. Will keep you in my prayers.
I can maybe send you a group of extra PSQN flies if that would work for you. I’ll bet the guys won’t have a problem tying one more for you. Eh Guys, 19 instead of 18? One for the Tiger?

Wish I was able to do it. Right now I am too tied up with doctors. Have therapists and nurses that are here every day of the week for therapy and to bandage wounds that have now appeared on my other foot. That is the same as started on my left foot that lead to amputation.

I will do my best on my batch and hopefully I can tie something worthy to toss at fish. Hope to create & post a fly plate photo when done.

Since VFB traffic is not an issue nowadays, do y’all want to keep swap correspondence on list, or take it off. All posts for the swap will have the subject line PSQN SWAP. So we have 18 flies due by Feb. 28th. Does that work? Can submit extras or design efforts for charitable donations. Rest of details to follow shortly.

IOFFers rule! Just a 2 more as we’ll have the 18 we need. If I missed you, please let me know. Tiers: (re-updated as of 1/24 am) 1. Rick Zieger 2. Allan Fish 3. Neville Gosling 4. Chuck Alexander (are you still doing WW charity auctions?) 5. Don Ordes 6. Renr Zillman 7. Gary Webb 8. J Balmer 9. Ron Boutin 10. Alan Di Somma 11. Mel Hocken 12. Jack Harford 13. Mike Bliss 14. Joyce Westphal 15. Keith Passant 16. Darren MacEachern 17. Peggy Brenner 18. Donna Crowell I found an interesting fly on the internet that would be a good candidate for a swap. It’s called a Pink Squirrel Nymph. Many of you are aware of it and have probably fished it. If you have fished it, a story can be added. Even crawfish like this pattern! Ye Rooles: (for IOFFers) 1. Role call for who’s still here- swapping or not. 2. List of those interested in swapping this easy and much-liked pattern. 3. Lots of photos on a search of images 4. Broad range of quarry fish 5. Very east tie, easily adaptable to rope-dubbing if you choose 6. Size 16 – 8 all one size or varied, style hook can vary- wet, nymph, or scud hooks 7. Gray or mottled brown body (your choice of dubbing), pink collar (any material suited for a collar per the photo archives) 8. Gold or silver bead, your choice of ribbing wire or roped segments 9. Any customization in keeping with the basic pattern (dubbing blends) 10 Number of swappers to dictate size of swap- SHOOTING FOR 18. 11. Standard swap rules apply: toe tags, return SASE (some sort of pkg.) or Cash for return of flies. Recipes not needed unless you did something special. (Story?) Any extra flies will be donated to good charity. Will post a photo of all designs. Google images should pick it up. All comments welcome. Easy tie, great fly (famous even), lots of variations with a common theme. I am still in stroke recovery, but able to do more all the time- just need to keep my energy up. Any VFB swappers left (2)? Looking like we’ll have a good-ol’ days VFB Swap. Will give it a couple of weeks for distance lurkers to check in.
