Who's up for a streamer swap?
Permalink  
 

Alright guys I think it's time for another swap.  What do you say we make it a streamer swap?  I have been getting more and more interested in some of Kelly Gallups idea's and flies so I will offer up a zoo cougar, and obviously be the one in charge of the swap.  Let's say the first 7 guys... because in the past we have had a hard time getting 10... to sign up are in.  And this time to make it interesting lets have guys type 14 that way each person gets two of each fly made.  Who's in?

Hello all,
I've been reading and learning for almost 2 years now from Bono's site.  It would be my pleasure if I could offer up a fly.  I'm leaning toward a bugger of sorts.

Troy

Here is the list for who is in on the swap... thus far... and what they are tying.

Otter - Scuplin
L2F -
Richard Hardwood -
Oger - Some sort of Bugger
Emerger -
WT - Zoo Cougar

There is still room for one more person on the swap. However, If no one else signs up in the next few days I am going to close the swap and we will just go with 6.

Let me know what you all are going to tie and I will update the list as needed

Ok, since there has not been any more interest in the swap I think we are going to close it now, and proceed with the 6 tyers we have.

I will PM everyone with an address to which they can send there finished flies. Also do not forget to include return postage.

Also if you have not posted which fly you are going to tye be sure to post it in the next few days.

Finally, the due date for the flies will be December 7th. That's a month to complete the 12 (becuase there are only 6 tyer instead of 7).

Thanks for participating everyone!

Wes,
 I think with snail mail the latest you would get mine would be Wednesday.

btw, We didn't catch a thing and had one one hit all day. Better than work though.

Rich.

Cool cool. I also got a message from Oger and his are on the way in as well.

My goal is to turn them around so you guys have a nice little christmas present. In actuality who knows with all of the holiday mail.

Sehoner- I agree, a slow day fishing is better than any day at work

I actually only have to tie 10 flies correct?  If we have six tiers than I can omit the two I would get for the swap right?  I could get them out faster that way anyhow.  Just a thought.
