Benzo Posted August 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Thanks dude... This pattern will work on bonefish too... just substitute the ice chenile for regular chenile and add heavier eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Van Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Benzo... Those shrimp look great, I'm going to feel a little guilty tossing it in this "dirty" Loooziana water! But i'm still gonna do it! My contribution is almost done, I'll put eyes on them tonight take a preview pic and get them in the mail probably Monday.

TokenGirl Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm finishing mine this weekend. Benzo I'll call you to arrange a drop off during the week. Those spoon flies look amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twojs Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Van, I think you misunderstood the ***ignment. This was a fly swap - not an entry into the fine art exhibit at the museum. Man, those things are amazing. Can't wait to get one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzo Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Van, those spoon flies are absolutely insane!!! I sent you an email with the mailing address. Claire, give me a shout and we'll arrange the dropoff. I've been away for a few days as well...fishing!! I already got the flies from River1 and TwoJs.

TailFisher17T Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hey Benzo, Sorry I missed this SWAP!! I would have loved to do it. My Computer at work for some reason has been blocking this site. Anyways I am game for the next one. Also Could I buy a few of those Shrimps off you? I wanted to see how they work for tailers here. I am taking Sam out sometime in Sept for Tailers and I usually use a Sexy Sliders but I think those will work to. Thanks and Shoot me an EMail. We have to get on those Bones one day.

Benzo Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Jeff, Sorry we missed you man. I'll probably be doing a tarpon fly swap this winter. I will give you a shout when the time comes. As far as purchasing flies... I am working with SSflies.com right now and they will carry a whole line of my redfish flies (including the C. shrimp) very shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzo Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Van, Got your flies in today! Man those spoons are masterpeices.. I kinda feel guilty getting them wet. LOL!!! Great stuff dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForgetoRemember Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hons I'll be finishing up mine tonight brother last week was pretty bad on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzo Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Awesome guys... I know it's been a busy few weeks for most so I'm going to extend this for another week. Charlie Johnson has shipped out his already. Newman's got his flies on the way. Mark N. has shipped his out today. I'm picking up flies from Clint and from Claire this week. Everyone else has them in already. I spoke to ABSam and we will be doing some videos with everyone's fly this month. I'll be shipping everyone's flies out as soon as I get them all in. Got some great stuff so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForgetoRemember Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Alright Hons I threw in a twist for ya seem's how much I know you love them. I did up a bunch of Sliders your favorites but seems how you and Sam are going to do some tests on them I tied you one regular with a Marabou Tail and one with a Craft Fur Tail. I'm interested to see the difference between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzo Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'll put them to the test!!! For redfish, I like using craft fur as it is more durable then marabou. Our redfish aren't as picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForgetoRemember Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Mine are done Honson. I tied up some sliders I like the way these push water. And not to hard to tie either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benzo Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Update: Guys, I apologize for the delay with the swap. I am sure everyone is anxious to get their flies. I picked up Clint's flies this weekend. Just waiting to get TokenGirl's and Mark Nicholl's flies. Mark's should be in the mail already on its way over. I must say, we've got some pretty stuff coming in. I'd be scared if I was a redfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Van Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Update:I must say, we've got some pretty stuff coming in. I'd be scared if I was a redfish. Yeah man, I've seen some of you guys work...I can't wait to get mine! It'll be like Christmas. I've got about 10 Fly Bums meeting me in Empire, La. the last weekend in Sept. to do a redfish weekend, that's where these flys will make their Cajun debut.
