Parachute Fly Swap

[dc410]

I’m also good with donating any extra flies to PHW.

Like others said, I'm good with giving my extra to PHW. I'm looking forward to getting a good look at what everyone else sent in. Thanks Jim for organizing this swap and please keep me in mind if you do another.

 

[PatchezMDM]

Agreed. Send the extras to PHW.

Also Streamers sounds like a great idea.

 

[JimNovo]

Your flies are on their way back to you!
I’ll try and post photos soon.
Please let me know if they don’t get back to you in a week or so. My post office guy did seem a bit confused when I arrived with postage paid envelopes, but I will trust him.

Thank you all for participating in my first swap and for your generous contributions of extra flies to Project Healing Water. Your flies are all amazing and I am so grateful to be part of this community.

Looks like Streamers will be the next swap, so start thinking of what you can tie. More to come in early December.

And while not a parachute, @lprudente added some Stimulators to go to PHW. Thanks!!

First off huge thanks to Jim for hosting and doing all of the legwork. Great ties everyone, great work and can't wait to get 'em wet.

 

[Broodstock]

Yeah - a second thanks to Jim. Those are some great looking ties. Thanks to everyone who participated. I look forward to seeing some of the fish that they tricked.

 

[Kms]

They all look fantastic. Thanks to all the tyers, plus a very big thanks to Jim.

 

[dc410]

Thank you very much Jim for your commitment to run the swap. Great ties to all involved. Looking forward to more swaps in the future.

 

[Eagle204]

Thanks to everyone for accepting me into this and a huge thanks to Jim for making it happen. I can't wait to do this again. Besides, this gives me an excuse to tell my wife that I "have" to go to the fly shop for supplies.🤣

 

[Broodstock]

My package arrived today and I have to say - these are some awesome flies 👏

I’m thinking of challenging myself tomorrow to find some bwo sippers, however it’s cold and all the rivers are up now with the rain.

@JLB what model hook is used on your emerger? It’s a very nice hook.

 

[Eagle204]

I just brought the mail in and all I can say is, great ties everyone! These are going into my box to keep and try to learn to tie. Thanks Jim for the bonus flies that were an unexpected surprise.

 

[dc410]

I received my flies today as well. Thanks again Jim, for a very well administered swap and for the bonus flies too. They are great ties! Awesome job by all of the tyers. This is a real solid collection of well tied parachute patterns. Excellent work!

 

[paulbrown145]

I received mine as well. Thank you to everyone involved.

Thanks to everyone who participated and to Jim for organizing. Great ties!

 

[lprudente]

Got my flies also, fantastic ties all. Another thanks to Jim for the bonus flies, really liking the sulphur pattern, I think that will do some work this season.
