Re: Fall Equinox -- 4 spaces left
Hi Diane,
I'm Sorry for taking so long to respond to your swap,((Got a lot on my plate rite now)) But if the deadline stays at the first week of September I'd like to sign up. I was thinking..... that March Brown featured on the cover of "Fly Tyer Summer 2007" and some kind of a Soft-Hackled Nymph. I just got a new book called (Tying and fishing Soft-Hackled Nymphs) by Allen McGee He's got a couple in there I like.

Re: Fall Equinox -- 2 spaces left
You're in. Thanks for joining. I personally think that Fall fishing is the best time of year. Days are shorter, vacationers are gone, and it's not 90 degrees outside!
Re: Fall Equinox -- 2 spaces left
I would like in. A hopper and wolly bugger, although I reserve the right to change my mind about wolly bugger.
Re: Fall Equinox -- 2 spaces left
YAY!! Almost full! Thanks all!! I anxiously await my first swap!! I should have the flies done in a few days or next week at most, I've been tying for my first fly fishing trips last week so I will have more time now!

Re: Fall Equinox -- 1 space left
Thanks for joining, Lady.
We have one spot left for couple of Fall flies. I know it's hard to think of what September will bring if cool lemonade and a scorched lawn with an overheated mower are battling over the next fishing trip in the last part of July.
Re: Fall Equinox -- 1 space left
Hi Diane, I`ll take the last spot Question: tying instructions for two patterns, two flies, and toe tags? correct?

Re: Fall Equinox -- 1 space left
jcntheriver, yeah, all you need are the flies with toe-tags, maybe a couple of extras of each for the Swapmeister, the recipe, a sturdy box (Altoids tin!), and don't worry about the address, just PM Diane and that's it I think. Correct me if I am wrong anybody!

Blaiseboy, thanks for joining. Those will be handy flies in September.
We also got some flies in during the week. They look great! I'm sure everyone will look forward to seeing them....but you'll have to wait. :lol:
Re: Fall Equinox -- Fly Update
Ok, i have decieded that i am not going to do a hole in one hopper. instead, i am going to tie a new fly i created, and was dubbed a very good pattern by sylvestor nemes, is a soft hackle hopper. HeHe, I hope you guys like it!
P.S. i am also going to do a Salar's nemisis, or some other streamer. (a salar's nemisis is a fly that was created by sylvestor nemes, and has a GP tail, a yellow body with a gold rib, brown hackle and a JC eye, plus, i can make it in a blind eye snelled, or not snelled, your choice :) )
