First, you are in no position to be mean to me. You will address me as, MR. DCabarle.

Now I've already told you that you must PAY ME and PAY ME with FRANKLINS. No, Not Aretha Franklins and not Franklin Mints, I'm talking BENJAMINE'S and lots of them in cold hard CA$$$$$$H. SEND ME MONEY bettle and I'll join in on your crusade to divide and conquer the evil emporer.

Is that Ming the Merciless?

NOT A BAD CHOICE!!!

But I see Him as fuckin Dr. Evil...

This is AK, plotting to DESTROY the Beetle Swap...

I already have four of my flies done, nothing fancy just a hairwing that is meant to be fished. Won't tell or post what it is let it be a suprise.

Thanks, Ron.

We got lots of guys confirmed.

I'm a bit worried about the RRTU folks...

The Don of NEFF might not like it...

If they participate in the Beetle Swap.

Big Jake, are ya in, friend?

BIG NEWS COMING TOMORROW!!!

HUGE SWAP NEWS!

HUGE!!!!!
 
1. Andy Brasko - Trick or Treat
2. Allen Landheer - In.
3. Simms - UNCONFIRMED
4. Trico Mike - In.
5. G Lech - In.
6. Tomfly - cased caddis
7. Big Jake - UNCONFIRMED
8. Ronbo - In.
9. Lynch - cool white marabou spey fly
10. Golden Beetle - salmon fly of my own design
11. Rusty Spinner - UNCONFIRMED
12. JK - In (A GREAT TYER FROM MASS, HE ALREADY SENT HIS FLIES AND I POSTED A PIC BELOW!!!)

Simms (close to AK), Jake (close to AK) and Rusty (close to AK)...

They are unconfirmed.

I'll let 'em slip out quietly.

If they tie...

And the DON don't APPROVE...

Well, let's just assume the Don didn't give these GROWN MEN PERMISSION TO SWAP FLIES WITH DA BEETLE.

So, if we don't hear from Spinner, Jake or Simms by tomorrow...

They're OUT OF THE SWAP!

(Let's be real... They are the worst of the tyers for the Beetle Swap, so good riddance I say.)
 
Beetle will ACCEPT 1 MORE QUALIFIED TYER FOR THE SWAP.

Don't BOTHER if you SOME DOUCHE WITHOUT A NAME.

You GOTTA tie LIKE A MAN.

So, if you Trout BEAVER, don't waste my fuckin time.

And remember that every feather you waste on one of your flies?

Is another bird.

Who died for no fuckin reason.

Nah, I fish the West Branch where hackle is the enemy. I'll probably just throw your fly in the garbage:rofl:
 
So AK is really in?

Or is "JK" a "nom de PLUME" as it were?

Here's the surprise news:

Mike Valla is tying the prize fly that will go to the winner of the Beetle Swap.

I sent Mike a PM threatening to trash him on NEFF unless he participated in the swap.

So he wouldn't have anything to do with me...

Ron asked Valla.

I assume nicely.

And Mike came through for the swap.

This is great news and I appreciate Mike Valla for this, and for the book he sent me for no good reason, other than the guy is kind and generous.

Thanks to Mike.

And Ron.
 
What about trout beaver, probable the most underated great tyer of our times !!!
Is he in or out?
 
Fuck Trout Beaver.

Trout Beaver is responsible for the unnecessary DEATHS.

Of countless birds.

Every wrap of hackle, to me, is murder.

At the vise of Trout Beaver.

So BEAVER is FUCKIN OUT.

This the best. Now you are an advocate for creatures that fly over you and crap on your head.
 
Sorry Trout Beaver, I tried.
Some people just don't appreciate the simplistic beauty of your ties, flies or what ever you do:shrug:
But for Christ's sake don't kill anymore birds,
use plastic :thumb:
 
9 flies done. Still waiting on my order of more size 5 Alec's!
