Soft Hackle Swap
« on: May 12, 2009, 10:57:43 AM »
Update - Swap is full

Deadline: June 20th

Send flies to:
Steve Howard
1502 Grandview Drive
Nashville, TN  37215

Please include SASE and container to get your swap flies.

From earlier discussions there was interest in a soft hackle swap. With that in mind and with the shack nasties quickly setting in since we have had so much rain, I figured a swap would help with all the lack of fishing frustration.

I will limit this to 10 tiers unless I get inundated with people wanting to participate. Please reply to this thread if you want to be in on the swap. As well, how quick a of deadline would be tolerable for everyone?

I will have to sit this one out,  :-\ Between sitting around the pool, smoking cuban cigars, playing golf, playing pool, partying till 4 every morning, and working a little, I just don't have time.   ;D
I just don't care!

Nice Jarrod. Sorry I didn't know you were in NOLA a couple of weeks ago. I could have had you out to a crawfish boil and cigar herf.

If the boys do Jazzfest next year, we will coordinate.

Jarrod, I haven't set a deadline yet as I was waiting for the weekend to be over to close the sign-up process.

I say 4 weeks to let everyone get everything in. Would that work with your schedule and accommodate everyone else as well?
