The Gilligan Swap - my first fly swap on this site

[WWKimba]

Tomorrow, Sunday 8/7, is the last chance to join this swap! We are now up to 5 total swappers and need ONLY ONE MORE TYER! I hope that there is someone who'd like to be added to the swap. If you have ANY questions/concerns please feel free to PM me and I'll address any issues that you have. If this is your first swap please DO contact me - I'll give you enough information to make you feel like an old pro!

Let's see if we can get at least that one last swapper!

Though we hit only 5 tyers but I AM going to hold the swap. It's my first on this site and I'd rather try to establish my reputation to this new audience as well as honor that you DID register, Thanks!

The flies are due to me no later than Tuesday, August 30th. You need only tie 5 flies and I look forward to seeing your ties!

Final list of swappers:

1-use2wuz -Hardhead Minnow
2-Tigereye-Mickey Finn
3-dc410-Foxie Clouser
4-laszlo-Emerald Shiner
5-redietz

One last thing, would someone like to take and post pictures for this swap on this thread. I used to but I took a trip to Florida and on the way home someone at the airport needed a last-minute gift for their spouse! The pictures you see me post now are from a swapper that lives a short drive from my house. We made a deal - I tie the flies and he takes the pictures. He keeps the flies and I keep the pictures.

Just a reminder from your friendly neighborhood Swapmeister - flies are due in to me in 13 days. I look forward to seeing your ties! As always, let me know if you are having any problems.

A half dozen Foxee Redd Minnows are going out in today’s mail. The extra one is for the Swapmeister for all of his efforts in organizing the swap.

👍 👍

Ken Lockwood bucktails on the way. They work well for me in off color water, and in the eponymous section of the South Branch of the Raritan.

Looking forward to seeing your traditional bucktail streamer, redietz. In all the years of tying I never really got into tying them, but I have a spot in my box for your tie, for sure.

I'll post when received. Probably next day or 2.

Thanks Tigereye. It'll be a challenge to find the good side of my ties!😊 Do the best you can.
