Haven't herd from anyone else, so once I get Timber's flies we'll close the swap out on Saturday (unless I hear from someone). That will leave us with 6 tiers, so we'll get two from each + mystery flies for those that tied them.

CB2fly's comments on his Squid Flies

I ended up making a heavy large squid, I fish this fly in and around large rocks and structure in where bass can ambush this fly, i fish it very low to the structure, this fly has been very successful for me. It should ride like a clouser hook side up with an airflo cold water fast sink tip in rips and sharp drop offs. This has the possibility of catching fish on the drop, you need to mend the line to try and keep tension on the fly the deeper you dredge the various water levels. This fly has been very good at fishing below large Bluefish blitz, when large stripers set up below the "top or middle" layer of baitfish.

small squid fly, not so much..

Billy,
I know you got my flies a while ago, I said I was going to make a small (kind of a shallow or flats type of squid)

Well, I ended up making big, ugly and heavy 3/0 clouser style SQUIDS- "as the MIB would say". They have been very sucessful for me over the years when fished deep with the Airflo Forty Plus Coldwater sink tip, low & slow. I think I am getting sick of winter, ready to go out with these spring temps.

I'm with you CB, cant wait for spring. Thanks for the albie post on the other spot. We gotta plan a trip come spring.

Timber, your flies are in.

Thanks for all of your contributions.
