Unique Material Fly Swap
Ok the idea for this swap is a combination of many swaps I have been in.
You will be tying a set of 12 flies. Any pattern your choice. They can contain any material you want but they must contain 1 material that is not usually used for tying flies.
This will be for 12 tiers, 12 flies each.
Signup deadline Feb 15
Flies due to me no later than Mar 15
Send your flies in a box big enough and strong enough to hold the flies you will be getting back.
Also enclose a self addressed stamped envelope big enough and strong enough to send the box back to you. Please put your on line name on your box and your envelopes.
When you sign up please list the fly and its size. The reason I want the size is so tiers can better judge what size box to send.
I think this can be a fun swap.

Count me in John, I'll figure out someting to tie and something different to tie with, maybe some blond wig hair, or maybe a trip to the dollar store will be in order, It'll be something size 10-14 nymph type pattern probably unless I use the wig hair then it'll be sire 2 to 2/0 for bass or pike.
I'll let you know what I come up with. put me down with TBA, By the way thios is an awsome swap topic.

Rick,
You had me worried when you posted that the flies were on their way, I thought I was late getting mine tied. But I see we have a little while so I am in good shape.
