wraith Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I'd be interested. It might be interesting to start a club so that we have a monthly or bi-monthly meeting. I don't see a lot from people in the Niagara area that fly fish. It would be nice to meet up with people who have a common interest in and around the Niagara area.

ron4blues Posted July 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hi Wraith You're welcome to join this swap. Can you get your contribution to me by the end of this coming week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraith Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Normally I would say yes but it's been a crazy week with the rain. One of our offices got flooded out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron4blues Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 No problem. We'll probably do this again. Thanks for the interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCfly Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I'm in for the next one Coach... Lemme know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron4blues Posted July 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 My apologies for the delay, folks. Friday night's storm meant other things had to take priority. The flies will be in the mail tomorrow morning. We had 4 participants contributing 10 flies each. I'm sending each of you two of each fly (so you're getting 2 of your own back of course). The remainder I'll send to Cliff to donate as a prize for an NFN sponsored event such as a swill or whatever. Perhaps we should do the same for future fly swaps as well. That way we'll have a nice collection for a draw or the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron4blues Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 As promised, the mail went out yesterday. You should be receiving them shortly. Please post here when you get them so I know they arrived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveC Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Got my flies today Coach....thanks for volunteering to organize. Nice job guys....look forward to the next one with more people who are willing to participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron4blues Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Glad that they arrived safely. Can't wait to get mine wet! Don't be afraid to strip those dragonfly nymphs: the real ones "swim" by jetting water through their abdomens. Strip about 8" really quickly, then let it sink. The twin beads for eyes will pull it down fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnfshn Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Got the flies - sorry for late feedback but I was away last week. Nice stuff and thanks to Coachman for doing the distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron4blues Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Glad to hear they arrived. The "extra" set of flies will be going to Meatface to be donated as a prize for the Garbage Derby. I'm also tying up some additional flies to donate as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
