We're comming to the end of the month. Anybody hear anything about the October Swap?
I haven't posted yet, but it will be DManley followed by sanctyphilia and sjo.
I am searching this board for the earlier months to see what themes got used up before I joined. I will pick the theme tonight before I go to bed.

Let's go for "Attractor Patterns"... Anything that doesn't try too hard to imitate a natural food item. Mickey Finns, Royal Coachman, Parmachene Belles, or any other non-realistic fly will fit. This way, you can tie wets, drys, streamers, nymphs or any other type of fly.
I will probably go with a colorful classic style wet fly, or a bright streamer of some type. I'll browse "Forgotten Flies" until I find a pattern that stands out.
If for any reason, Attractor patterns isn't okay as a theme, then I'll use "Streamers" instead.
Thanks,
Dave
Attractors are just fine. Now to the books. I'll try to have a pattern picked when the swap thread is posted.
