Haven't done a swap in a while

[adamtn]

Its been a long time since we've had a fly swap around here. Any of you guys up to get one going?

I've finally dusted off my tying gear after a couple of months off. We're seeing glimpses of springtime out here after a pretty rough first half of winter (saw -48 one morning).

Time to fill those boxes. How does a streamer swap sound to yall? I can host unless one of you tennessee guys want to.

Streamer swap sounds great. I have been tying for my salt trip and spring fishing so that would be great.

You are more than welcome to host!

[Fred Mertz]

I'd be game.
Sounds good!

I'm in!

[adamtn]

bump, for more participation. Come on guys, we need at least six people on this one. If we only get 6-8 people, maybe we can do two patterns each to make it worthwhile and fill those streamer boxes a little more.

I'll be a good sport and join.

I've never participated in a fly swap.  How's it work?

[David L. Darnell]

Tie up required number of your chosen streamer pattern. Send them to swap master. Swap master will divide all flies from other tyers and mail them back. You get to sample a variety of others work. I like the swaps when you get orginals and not Willy Buggers.

Bump x2

[Rusty]

I'll give it a try

I'm in!!

So it looks like we have seven participants. Why don't we do two patterns each with seven of each pattern. That will give us a nice sampling of streamers and leave us with 14 different flies each. Lets set the due date for the swap at April first. I'll post up my mailing address once someone has theirs done.

 Should we impose a no bugger rule?

[David L. Darnell]

Yes, I don't fish them. What about size parameters?

Big and gaudy.
