Hi David,...... Sounds good. I've already got a nymph type ID'ed for the swap. This one is already a large one.

So,.... I've got a leg up on it.

Works for me. You did say big, UGLY nymphs, right?

Alrighty!! A size #2 pheasant tail, hahahaha!! An interesting choice as I don't do too many nymphs that size. Only a few things come to mind, helgramites, dragon flies, damsel flies, and the larger stones..... and of course hex's. Did I miss anything....

I guess I can still tye my caddis pattern. I do tie it on a tiemco 205 #20 but it might as well be a #10....it's freaking big enough... I need to learn to go to the shops and check hooks and their sizes before I buy them.... I guess I can tie it on a #18 cuz you could probably tie rope to it and grapple!! I know it has to do with hook gap size.... but still..........

Or I was thinking if developing a wiggle nymph damsel...... get to try my C&F extended body tool out!!
