Hi there Scruffy_Fly - I received your flies in today’s mail. Just one more to go. As soon as I receive katghoti’s flies then I will get them ready for mailing.
Just picked up my mail & I’m please to say that all the flies have been received. I am really impressed with the looks & quality of the flies. You guys went beyond the call of duty [sounds a little military like] including fly receptacles and postage. I had planned to take care of those needs myself. Gosh you all didn’t leave me much to do. Anyhow, I hope to get them out come Monday or Tuesday. Thanks again guys

Orange Asher -
I did this because it is a dry which met the swap plan. But it is used as a wet fly also and MacFly had said something about wanting nymphs or streamers. So I thought it was a good choice for this swap.
It historically has been used on high mountain lakes. But an acknowledged expert old timer put me onto using the Orange asher during a caddis hatch.
I was fishing the end of the famous Mother’s Day Caddis hatch on the Arkansas River which is really a tax day hatch. Anyway I was standing thy deep in the current when the yellow rubber hatch started popping when I hooked into a nice rainbow. The skipper of the lead yellow rubber pontoon boat back paddered his boat into an eddie so that I could have some room to play around with the Rainbow who willingly jumped in the air a couple of times for the enjoyment of white water rafters. When I netted the fish the pontoon flotilla passed on by with a polite knod.
I have never used it on warmwater species but I bet that Crappie and blue gill would chase and maybe so small mouths too.
Neat fly S_F. Have a place in mind that I will give it a good test.
and where would that be.. or is that a ff’ing secret.. LOL..
all I know is that all the flies look awesome..
