The more you tie the better they will get. That’s one of the coolest parts about tying for a swap. Don’t get hung up on what you think is worthy, in the whole big picture your ties will be fine and the fish most certainly won’t care. Great to have you a part of the swap!
Thanks! I've got a half dozen I've tied that look good and are ready to ship out, so I'm not sweating it. Just came home from a dinner party Saturday and decided to have a few more drinks at the vise, which turned into an experiment in devolution. Would've taken a few attempts to tie my shoes, let alone a fly.
If I had a dollar for every time I've tried that same experiment I could buy all the flys I'd ever need.
Maybe the next fly swap needs to be an in person and under the influence event?
I have been thinking of doing an in-person swap where we'd meet at the fly fishing museum to distribute the flies BUT I don't think that alcohol would be allowed! We could make a day of it by inviting some youth group or two and do some demo's/tying with the kids. Though I do know that you have a brewery or two down in PA!
Thanks so much, laszlo for the bonus flies! I haven’t shipped yet, still tying a few, the best ones will go out to you guys. The less than best ones will go in my box. Let’s not lose sight on the fact that they will all catch fish!!
I have been under the weather for this past week and just starting to get my sea legs back so, if it is OK with all of you I'd like to get the flies mailed by this coming Monday (16th) at the very latest. I guess Swapmeisters are not bullet-proof!
No rush on this end! I appreciate you running the swap! Feel better.Got some wet ants from redietz in todays mail. I love swaps that start strong finish strong and have a middle they can brag about - like me!

If I wasn't clear these are the 7th and last set that we needed to complete this swap.
