It is limited to six tiers so the kids don't get tired of tying the same thing. give your kids the help they need but allow them to have fun. This is a fun swap so the rules (except due date) are real flexible.
AGE: any tier under the age of 14
Due Date: at my house by the second of January 2011

Hey this is great Eric. I'd like to sign up my two girls. An 8 year old and an 11 year old. They have each tied a few flies before. They are excited too.

Hey Eric,
My granddaughter had a great time with this last year. This year we'd like to do it again. But, we're going to include her brother too. So, please count Allana (11) and Braden (7) in!

Welcome John. You'll have at least as much fun as your grand kids.
My kids have already tied a couple flies each and are thoroughly enjoying it. I showed them all my tying material and they came up with their own creations. They love it. They'll catch pan fish for sure.

Thats great Tim, what this swap is all about. everyone having fun, I am sure as the holidays come closer we will get a couple of more tiers

Since I get Christmas break and the kids will be off too... we spend the break tying flies. They're looking through my books to see what kind of flies they want to tie. They always have a blast doing so.
Say, Eric, if you get more interest than just the 6 you've said was a limit - I'm ok with extending the group. The more the merrier. Never mind the more kids get to spend time with parents/grandparents and gain an interest in a wonderful hobby/past-time/passion.

John, I keep the group small beceause we might have some very young tiers or someone with adhd whos attention span is not that great. I would start a second swap if there was enough interest. hopefully we can fill this one out.
