"MacGyver" swap -*** FLIES ARE IN THE MAIL 10/16 ***
This swap is a "Macgyver" swap (remember the TV show) .The idea is to make use of materials around your home that normally would not be used for flies(or not intended for fly tying).Example - bead chain , rubber bands , dog hair (dubbing) , grandmas yarn , etc. You are allowed to used a hook and thread only. Try to be creative and use new materials to create a usable fly of any size , type or pattern.
This is my first time hosting a swap .I have participated in 3 swaps to date(just mailed off swap#3).
Signup is open until September 28 or until full and flies are due by October 15.
Swap has 10 spots open .
Your 10 flies should be to me no later then October15 .
~All late flies will be returned to sender ~
Please include a toe tag with Faol name and pattern -DONOT include recipe.Post your recipe here once everyone has received their flies and had a couple days to try to figure out the materials used.
Also include return postage (stamps preferred) in a crush proof container along with your return address.

Re: "MacGyver" swap - 8 spots open !
I was going to start a similar swap so I am definitely in on this one.
This will be fun.
I will tie a nymph made of secret ingredients. ;)
Re: "MacGyver" swap - 8 spots open !
Your in Gardenfish .I think your idea of not revealing the "recipe" is the way to go.
Re: "MacGyver" swap - 8 spots open !
I think it would be fun to post the fly recipes after the swap is completed or some such thing. What a blast trying to figure out what people used! Thanks for hosting.

Great idea Gardenfish - everyone post your recipes once the flies have been mailed to everyone and they have had a day or two to look them over .
Re: "MacGyver" swap - 5 spots open !
JRA, thanks for hosting such an innovative and fun swap. My flies will be finished over the weekend.
Cheers!
Re: "MacGyver" swap - 5 spots open !
Oh, what the heck. I'm in. I was going to wait a while to give everyone a chance to join in on this one, but I gotta support a new swap host.
JRA already knows one of my secret ingrdients, but I'm sure he won't tell... :D
