No hurry on my end. Your health is far more important.
Get well.

Subject: [VFB] My 2 cents Re: Pink Squirrel Nymph Swap
Sorry to learn of your continued medical problems. Don’t give up on the long
term as I am sure that you will eventually get there. I am in absolutely no
hurry; in fact, I don’t even need the swap flies. Your health is more important
to me than that. When you announced this swap, I really thought that you were
recovering ok from your stroke but it now seems you have dealt another blow.
I’m sure you will get there Don, but it is going to take longer than you, I or
the rest of the swappers figured. Take time to heal first.
I want you to concentrate on getting better and don’t worry about the swap at
all. That’s my 2 cents

To all pink squirrel swappers. So sorry to make you wait so long.
My hand is finally coming around to where I can tie once more. Tried a few
times – awful and slow results. 2 min fly takes an hour plus.
Very slow recovery from a couple of nightmare nerve pain medications – side
effect almost killed me.
But I Can finally hold the bobbin again, with the sleeves.
The long-term is still questionable except for pain. But I am still trying.
Trying a new therapy- promising results.
Alan has offered to finish the swap for me, but I’d like to finish it, as it
will probably be my last swap.
Pl ease let me know what you want me to do.

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?

Been following this. 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.

Welcome all to the fly swap and thank you.
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.
Cheers,

Not too late Donna- you’re spot #18. ;o)
See list below.
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.

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.
Cheers,
DonO
