I have been asked to host a fly swap. So lets do a "Favorite Fly" fly swap. Any pattern you wish to tie. To sign up the swap, post in this thread.
Rules:
1. Sign up will be until 6/25/14. At that time, the swap will be closed and the tyin begins. Please announce the name of the pattern you will tie also.
2. Flies will be due to the host, me, by 7/30/14. Flies received after that day will be given away in a drawing.
3. Each participant will tie one fly of the same pattern for each other participant. Ie, if there are 10 participants, you would tie 9 flies.
4. Each tyer will submit their set of flies by mail to the host by the deadline. The flies should be mailed in a padded mailer in a crush proof container. Altoid tins are perfect for this. Along with the tin of flies, another padded mailer with sufficient postage for return of the swap flies should be enclosed. The host should not have to pay your postage.
5. Each fly should be toe tagged with tyers user name and name of the fly. Also one note with the recipe of the fly would be nice. Toe tags are small slips of paper attached to the hook.
6.When each tyer is finished, please PM the host for a mailing address to send flies.
7. Once I receive all the flies, I will sort and mail them back to the participants in the mailers provided.
8. If you don't understand the rules or need clarification, don't be afraid to ask.
So who wants to join? Remember it can be any fly you wish to tie. I will update this post with the user name of each participant and name of the fly you will tie as you join up. I will add RECEIVED to your name and pattern as I receive the flies.
