Seems there are a decent amt of guys who are beginner tyers or maybe it's just that I noticed a few considering I just started. Axel Djs12345 pm’d me with the notion of having a beginner swap and I thought the idea was great. It would be for beginner and advance beginner tyers and a very low pressure situation.
When discussing Dave and I agreed it would a positive way to discipline ourselves to focus in on one pattern and try to get it down pat instead of bouncing around. I can not emphasize enough that this will be very low pressure meaning if u commit and after the 1st round no worries. Also it is important to remember some ties will be better than others. For example I’ve tied a lil for a month and djs over a year. His ties might be better than mine but he likes me so he won’t be po’d! :-D. Think u guys get what I’m saying. We are trying to get as many tyers involved and not be bashful and/or think they can't participate … just look at my scud that brookiechaser told me to slash and burn.
This thread is to get an idea of who would be interested in participating. We also want as many ideas as possible and we can try to decide what will work and what will not. Myself, dj and I expect RCFetter;-) but they have to write “in” in this thread.

-Beginner and advance beginners welcomed
-Think we should keep it at 6 - 8 participants but open to more depending on interest
-two flies per which means a commitment to 12 - 16 ties
-Month time could work but open to suggestions
-No set “time of year patterns” considering we are all beginners
-U must do a different pattern each time we start another swap
-No pressure and if it isn’t for u, after u commit, no worries
Remember .. this thread is also for ideas and if u do not agree with one of mine and want to discuss I won't be insulted. The idea is to make this as enjoyable as we can for everyone who participates.
All ideas and commits in this thread. Any swapping vets have any ideas for us .. much appreciated but just remember we r beginners and some, like myself, are just starting out.
