Fly Swap?

Recommended Posts

I'd like to propose a fly swap if we can get enough interest going.

For example, if we have 10 participants, each would tie 10 of their favorite patterns and mail them to the swap co-ordinator (we can decide who that will be along the way), along with a pre-paid return envelope. Once the co-ordinator gets all the contributions, he re-packages the flies, one of each pattern for each participant, and mails them back out.

If this sounds interesting, please comment below along with the fly you'd like to tie. I'd suggest limiting this to the first 12 people for starters.

If this goes, I'll contribute some hairwing Black Ghosts.

So far we have:

Coachman

cdnfishguy11

Dogman (I'll take you as "maybe)"

Lets get a few more before we call it a "go."

Lets call it a "go" when we get 3 more.

So with Snaggy and Cliff we have our 10. I'll get my 10 Black Ghosts done up. Lets say end of June to have the submissions in? If cdnfishguy is still interested in being the co-ordinator, we'll work out the logistics before then.

Josh is gone the end of this week. He'll be away for most of the summer. Hopefully he can chime in I know he is very busy getting things in order. I'm in I have no idea what to tie but I'll figure something out. I'm gone from June 28th to Aug 1st or 2nd so I'll need to know where to send them before that.

I'm sure everyone will come up with something interesting. Doesn't have to be elaborate. I'm doing Black Ghosts because they're simple. Other simple patterns for the suggestion box: Wooley Buggers; Pheasant Tail or Hare's Ear Nymphs; Mickey Finn Streamers; Prince Nymphs. . . I could think of dozens more.
