Crazy action in the water....just incredible fly by all accounts,I can see myself falling in love with tying and fishing Dungeons!

Coincidentally,just last night I was going thru my supplies and realized that I'm gonna need some more appropriate sized coneheads for the swap fly I'm tying.In the process,I found several dozen dumbbells that I had forgotten I bought last year,and whipped off a few clousers.Then I got to thinking......hmmm....instead of coneheads,I wonder how I could incorporate dumbbell eyes into a muddler head?I didn't try
it cuz I wasn't sure how it would balance,tie to top or bottom of shank,if the fly would ride upside down,if I could spin hair around dumbbell,etc.,and thought maybe I'd experiment with it some other time?Now thanks to you,I've seen not only that YES it can be done,but also how to do it,and the results are
amazing!I can't hardly wait to tie and fish an entire arsenal of these fish slaying bad boyz!
Sure wish I could tie this fast,LMAO>>>>http://globalflyfisher.com/video/fly...ps-sex-dungeon

that's one of the things I love about swaps,as often as not it seems I discover some incredible new fly that I absolutely have to have more of.

Also kritofr,that's an incredible amount of time and work to put into a swap fly...WOW!!
Really appreciate the effort and look forward to seeing your flies.

They aren't as hard to tie as it they seem. A few extra steps to them, but a lot of fun to tie.

I just hope we can fill up the remainder of the swap and get some patterns going. For those in the Calgary area, I can arrange for a get together on a Sunday morning or potentially a evening to tie up the streamers for the swap. I should be finished up mine this weekend although what I might do is tie up a variety of colours just in case the swap isn't full, the recipients won't be receiving all of the same variety of the fly. So I might do 6 in the yellow and the other 6 in a olive, or black or brown/tan.

Looking forward to seeing everyone elses streamers,
