Anyone up for a swap as we approach fall? To get this started I'll try and keep it simple, just one of your favorite fall patterns to fish. dry or wet.
I like to try new flies and i like fly tying. I'm hoping to revive the Fly swaps that happen occasionally in this forum because it gives us all a chance to share our passion with each other.
All are welcome to participate. There are some true masters who haunt this forum, but you can be new to tying and still participate and enjoy the experience.
While i am up for hosting a regular swap, in the past, getting 12 people together who each want to make a 11 of the same fly is hard to do.
If you prefer i'm willing to do a mini-swap. I call it a Triangle Swap. You make and send 3 identical flies and get back a different set of 3 flies. That way it's minimal effort to tie them and you receive 3 of a pattern to fish, which is great when you're like me and tend to loose at least 2 every time i fish
Even if it's just one other person that's interested, a Triangle Swap still works (and i get to make a new tying friend). if more people want to join in, it still works and you still only have to make 3 flies, the host just swaps the flies in a circle.
(A -> goes to B - > goes to C -> goes to A) does that make sense?
Usual guidelines for a tying swap. If you're interested in participating in a swap, comment and let me know you want in, and what pattern you'd like to tie. Specify if you're willing to do a Full Swap (up to 12 people including myself) where you would tie 11 flies or if you're willing to do a Triangle Swap (send and receive 3 flies only, unlimited participants)
Deadline for Host to receive flies: 10/31/18
How swaps work:
1. I will provide my address and email via pm once the swap is full
2. I will send out a reminder through the PM system about half way through the swap.
3. Full Swap: toetag each fly with makers name and pattern name
Triangle Swap: toetag at least ONE fly with makers name ( and pattern name
4. PM me when you drop your flies in the mail so i know to expect them. Please aim to get them to me BEFORE the deadline (in this case 10/31/18)
5. Send your flies in an inexpensive container with your name on it. Include a stamped return envelope.
6. I will mail out all the flies no later than 11/1 assuming everyone turned in their flies on time.
7. Go fish with new flies.
