A pear is a failed apple! - George Carlin
Just in time for the holiday season - the Pear Tree Swap. This is as is a partridge in a pear tree! Yep, this swap is for fly patterns that uses partridge as one of it's materials. Due to the holidays this will be a BEGINING of the new year swap - flies will be due in by Wednesday, January 10th so as to avoid the holiday season with your family - and the holiday mail with the USPS ponies! Here are the details.
Registration for this swap will close on Monday, December 4th, 2023 and, as mentioned, flies are due to me by Wednesday, January 10th, 2024. This will give more than a month to register as well as more than a month to finish your flies after that! We need a minimum of 6 tyers and the swap is open to up to 12 total registrants. It is open to ALL level tyers and new faces, including anyone new to tying/swapping is most welcome! As always, I will share a fly tying gift or two with all swappers. When you register (or shortly thereafter, please include the name of the pattern that your going to tie - we DO NOT want see a whole bunch of Partridge and Orange flies!!
ALL SWAPPERS - remember to include the 5 basic items needed for each swap - your flies each with it's own toe tag, sent in a swap box, with a SASE included (so you get your set of flies back!), all included in your sending envelope. If you'd like to SPOIL the swap host (ME!), please include your screen name on each of the last 4 needed items.
If you are new to swaps and/or fly tying please contact me and let me know so I can give you any assistance to make your swap a great experience!
Lastly, and most importantly, HAVE FUN! That's why we took up this hobby!
