Give us a try!
Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

wow! that was quick.. good ol' US Postal Service!!
Hopefully they're up to everyone standards. I feel a little imtimidated after seeing (what looks to be) some quality stuff from the pictures!
I'v done some research and have concluded that its probably an original pattern inspired by other better known patterns...
It was originally inspired by the Robert's Drake:

Then after tying it, I found that it looked like Tim's Brown Drake:

But the colors look more like March Brown Dun:

But I have had success with the parachute pattern at the KLG and smaller brown flies have always been good to me. So the two together produces what I sent in.
I guess if "sqerl's Drake" becomes a popular NJ/KLG pattern, you know where it came from!!

All Flies Received!!!
To all involved, thanks for making this fly swap so successfull. I received everyones creations, and will get the returns in the mail by Monday.
Everyone tied some pretty nice looking flies. This was a good experience because it made me tie and tie and tie, something I rarely do.
When I tie, I get into a rythm. It's funny because It's like going into the food store to get Milk... Before you know it, you're running back to the front of the store to get a basket to carry the Milk and the bread and the cereal and the cupcakes, and everything else in. My comparison is the fact that before I know it, I'm looking at a dozen fly's sitting in front of me when I only meant to tie 4-5.
Speaking of pictures, if you guys did not have an "Avatar" next to your name when you post, you do now. If you already had an "Avatar", I left what you had alone. If you get a photo over to me, or if I happen to sneak up behind you while you're on the river and take a picture, I'll post that instead.

Does that mean you could post any kind of pix, or would it have to be taken on a digital camera? I would like to have a pix of me next to my postings, its interesting for me to see what you and Joe T. look like (I already know what Dave B. looks like).
In the interim, maybe you could just put that pix up of the orifice cowboy next to my name--it be neat to have people believing that I look that way.
