I'll join, but will let you know what pattern after others announce. I have several in mind and this way there sould be a greater variety.

Count me in with a Red Humpy! Scott

With a due date of about a month away and so few tyers, should we each tie two different patterns? I have another pattern that I would love to share. I already have 1 set done. Fine with me either way. Scott

Salovin, that sounds great. I was trying to make up my mind about a couple different patterns also.
Panman is this idea alright with you?
I hope that this swap fills up

Thanks for the idea,
Doug

Hi Doug..count me in for this one....one or two patterns, doesnt matter. Im thinking of a Lime Trude or an Adams Variant or both if you decide to do two patterns. Thanks, Jason

I'll do two too (lol)

Tim

This is turning out to be a great swap! I LOVE the tying styles of the participants so far. I already have two sets of six tied. Bring it on! Scott

ok, count me in. flies TBD. thanks

ok-make it a #20 Griffith's Gnat and a #18 Hair-wing Coachman

Hey Doug,

Count me in. I will tie some lightning bugs and some black nosed daces.
Thanks,

Chris Radding

I will submit a Gray Coachman and a Peacock & Teal dry fly. Photo & recipe are at the below links. In addition I will send each tyer a small package of wild duck CDC that I picked from this falls hunt. It is unsorted, but you should find some good stuff in there. If, per chance, you don't want the CDC contact the host so he can give it to one of the other swappers.

For my second fly, I will submit a fly called "Mrs. Simpson". It is a fly mainly used in New Zealand, but I know it would be effective around here fishing for Brookies. Scott

This is going to be a great swap. All very skilled tyers. Can't wait to see the flies.

Thanks again everyone,
Happy tying,
Doug

Waitin on one more set of flies. I will sort the flies and send them out by the beginning of next week.

Thanx,
Doug Goulding

Received the last set of flies today. Flies will be organized and shipped by this upcoming weekend. Thanks for another great swap.

Till we swap agian,
Doug Goulding

Thanks Doug.....can't wait to get them!

Have the flies gone out yet Doug? Just wondering. Scott

Hey guys,
sorry about the long delay, I had to go out West to visit my Uncle who has been ill for a few weeks. Flies will be in the mail by Monday afternoon at the latest.

Thanks for another great swap!
Doug Goulding

Flies were mailed this morning. If I mixed up the flies or forgot a pattern, just let me know and I'll send that pattern(s) out to you for free.

Thanks again guys,
Doug Goulding

I received my flies today! This was a great swap. I'm glad we did two patterns each. Great job to all!!! Thanks for a great swap Doug! Scott

Doug and swappers....these babies finally made it to me on Saturday. This was a fun swap and the whole time I was tying mine I was thinking of being on a small brookie stream way up in the mountains. All the flys look great and look like they would fool any wary broktrout. Thanks for coming up with the idea and hosting Doug.
Special thanks to Panman for sharing his wealth of natural materials with us. The CDC is beautiful!.......Jason

The flies arrived last night and I was really impressed with them. Thanks Doug for hosting the swap and to Jason for your kind words about the CDC. I hope you guys can find a use for the CDC and I am elated with Jason's Adams Variation which he used the gadwall feathers for the wings.
