The fly I'll be tying is plastic bead caddis pupa
I agree with HCMiller, but it would sure be nice to see this swap fill up, I think everyone would have a lot of fun with this one. It would be nice to have a set of flies from all the states and countries. I have mine a 3rd of the way done.
To other tiers that are considering this swap, jump in I know you will all have fun with this one. John
This is an awesome idea. I'm in for a New Mexico.

hehehe i love how it says "ONLY 54 spots left" ... :lol:
PM sent to NukeMaster.
My wife saw the "54 spots left" in passing today also. She thinks we are all crazy. :D
I would love to see all of the spots fill, but we'll just have to see how it goes. I haven't tied any yet. I spent the afternoon tying the last of the flies for the MO FishIn. I finally reached a point where I had to say if what I have won't catch fish, it isn't the tackle's fault.
What happens if two people from the same state want in? Can it be regional (say southwest? and thereby take a bordering state) or can we just wait and tie a pattern that is common from a state or territory that doesn't fill???
I was thinking that I've been busy and didn't know if I wanted to commit this soon....unfortunately or fortunately ibrb in for the Great State of CAL...
What do you think?...I'm sure others that might be in the same position???
Oh and 65 flies for a swap....come on we can add some territories and go for an even 100 .... it's not that many more :lol:
i was thinking the same thing, and id ask ol blue first but you could probably sign up for a fly for a state bordering youre own because i imagine like for virginia a fly that works great in northern Virginia will also work well in maryland... just my thoughts. id ask ol blue first though if you could do that.Quote:

I will fall back to the assumption of honorable intentions by everyone here since my area of expertise is pretty well limited to, uh, nothing. :lol: :wink:
If we have a good alternative, especially later in signups, I will be more than happy to substitute catagories to fill up also. For example, we could have both warm water and trout flies from one state to replace a state or province that doesn't sign up. But let's not go there until late in the signups.
Blue I am there, my choices are, in order of preference are:
Vermont
New York
Massachusetts
I will take any that has not beem claimed. Great swap Go Blue!
