ron4blues Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron4blues Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horrorshowrot Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Sound like a plan if Josh (cdnfishguy) is not able to do it I could be coordinator if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogman Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Awesome......I would like to tie intruders if that qualfies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cplummer Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 No idea what I feel like tying If I get my orders caught up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron4blues Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnfishguy11 Posted June 1, 2013 Report Share Posted June 1, 2013 hey guys, sorry its taken so long Ive been unreal busy lately getting everything ready to go.... I fly out June 8th(one week away!) we should try and make a theme for the swap that way people have some idea on what kind of flies to tie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron4blues Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Good idea. Hadn't thought to suggest that! How about nymph patterns? Or maybe streamer patterns? I like the nymph idea myself. I have a pretty cool dragonfly nymph I can do up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnfshn Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 What about bass flies since the season is coming in a few weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakeyes Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I could do foam poppers.......... yes no????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horrorshowrot Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 I agree on the bass flies we could get quite the assortment together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron4blues Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 OK. Bass flies it shall be. That means I can still do a dragonfly nymph (bass love 'em). Lets get everyone to post their intended pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogman Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'll tie up some gurglers. Always good for bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
