Fly Talk/Dr. Slick Jul./Aug Swap

[fish]

Hi Guys,

We will run a bi-monthly fly swap starting with July/August. The first fly is an old faithful Woolly Bugger. We invite all fly tiers experts and beginners to take part, most of you should have the materials for a Woolly Bugger and wouldn't it be great to receive the best Bugger in all the other participants fly boxes. Below are the rules and more information.

Gary from Stealth came on board and sponsored a Dr. Slick Ceramic bobbin valued in the region of R 150.00 for the winner of each fly swap. We will post all the flies on the forum for all to see. The flies will be judged by MC, myself and Mark Krige. The winner then needs to do a step by step sequence with pictures on the forum. We will use the following criteria when we judge the flies.

Proportions- Tail length, hackle length etc.
Inventiveness.
Overall fish fooling ability.
Neatness
