I cherish the Calcasieu Pig Boat Tom tied for me last year complete with spinner! I will tentatively tie either the Cajun Coachman or Arkansas Cajun Coachman, will have to check the book tonight.

As I posted earlier to the list, Tom Nixon, a pioneer in flytying and flyfishing for bass and panfish passed away on May 29th. Our local fly club (Contraband Fly Casters, Tom Nixon Chapter) holds a yearly conclave (dates are variable, from September through February are possible). Tom tied and gave demonstrations for free at every one of these conclaves in Lake Charles. I'd like to host this swap of his fly patterns and ask that the participants tie 2 extra flies. One set would be for a shadow box for the club, and the other set to be auctioned off. A list of some of the patterns Tom developed is below. If needed I can provide a scan of the finished fly and diretions for tying any of these patterns. Bif Fly Badger Streamer Crappie Mickey Penguin Sowela YBP-2 Albino Beaux Belle Black Bird Bumble Grizzly Bumble Puppy Bumble Zebra Calcasieu Pigboat Chitto Squirrel Mickey Brim Moss Bluff Special White Tail Grizzly Arkansas Cajun Coachman Brim Charmeauxse Cajun Coachman .56%er SQT56 various rabbit fur leeches This list is by no means complete. I'm not setting a limit of participants and hope to get a nice group of tyers. The finished flies will also be displayed at the Contraband Fly Casters website, http://cbfc0.tripod.com , as well as my own web site (shown below) with due credit given each tyer. I'm looking at Labor Day weekend as a potential completion date (I'll either have to buy an appropriate shadow box or make one, so I'll need a little time as well). I'm not choosing a fly for myself yet, since there are plenty of good patterns. Please consider joining this swap! Mark Delaney So much water, so little time!
