    Gene, the venerable wiggle tail is unfortunately not listed as part of the "Ultimate Trout Subsurface Fly Collection" . . . are you sure you wouldn't want to tie something that is?

    I am tying a wiggle tail as well, it is my go to fly for subsurface trout. Mine will be olive. Anyone who fishes with me on stillwater knows I always throw a wiggle tail now, thanks to Gene showing me about them.
    So long and thanks for all the fish!!!

    Aw... Come on Mike... a wiggle tail is just a junior wooly bugger!

    Okay fine! I was kind of hoping they would challenge themselves, but then again, it is not my place to think or say so.

    Well . . . since most flies are a challenge for me to tie really well, I have no problems being able to satisfy both criteria. But, I get your point, some of the guns on this board may find every one of those flies on the "Ultimate Trout Subsurface Fly Collection" thread overly easy and thus be in a quandry . . . .

    Scott, you mean the water is back in and they've finished the construction??? Can't believe you were bagging trout. I know where I'm going next!

    Gee, I didn't realize we had "junior woolly bugger" lovers They're definitely subsurface, and though they're not mentioned by name in the list, if they're catching fish and you believe in 'em, then bring 'em on!

    Mike, I can totally relate to the challenge aspect. I'm involved in another swap on another board, where it's going to be a really simple midge. So, I'm going to push myself on this one a bit, especially if I try for the Mighty Mite.

    And now that we have Scott V, Guppy, gene goss, flounder, _SHig?, and Cody, we still have room for 3 more. Who's in?

    John

    BTW, if you want to check the status of the swap quickly, I'll be updating the starting message for this thread.
