Classic Streamer Swap
Well now that the Classic Winged Wet Fly swap is over it's time for a new one. So here goes. This swap will be for classic streamer patterns only. No Woolley Buggers please. Classic patterns can be any pattern from the Carrie Stevens era or Bergman, Edson and so on. Just no modern streamers. A few more classic streamer examples could be the Black ghost, Ken Lockwood, Black Nose Dace, Thunder creek series, Sushan postman, Queen of the waters, Mickey Fin and so on. Other patterns and ideas can be obtained from the book Forgotten flies. Swap sign-up dead line will be December 31, 2004. Flies to be mailed and received to my house no later than February 12, 2005. Swap will be open to the first 15 tyers. If the swap fills up completely that means you will have to tye a minimum of 14 flies. I will post my mailing address after the swap fills or the sign-up dead line has come and gone. I will need an alternate in the case of a person drops out due to a life happens event. When joining the swap, please let me know what you will be tying A.S.A.P
Thanks a Bunch
Andy B
P.S. The very next post will be the updated list of tyers and patterns they will be tying. I will update this post throughout the swap.

welcome aboard Mikeytwoshoes. Thanks alot for joining.
Andy B

I'll be up front with a Mickey Finn. Sorry I screwed the other one up. JGW
-
I'm thinking I'd like to tie something from the thunder creek series, though then the natural inclination would be for swappers to compare mine to yours and oh no we can't have that ;-]...is a muddler minnow acceptable? I've been tying quite a few of those lately...
I'm still non-committed.
mgj
-
White43 welcome aboard and forget about that last one.
Mikeytwoshoes, your in with Muddler Minnow. If you want to tye Thunder Creek instead let me know. I will go for a Ken Lockwood if you choose to do so. I am flexible.
Andy B
-

Andy,
Put me down for a witch ,I don't know what one yet.

tyflier & wet fly guy:
Welcome aboard and your both in. Thanks for joining and helping this swap to become successful.

Wet fly guy:
I have tied quite a few of the Gray Witch and the Golden Witch. Both of these patterns were fun to tie. Also need to mention these have taken some nice Brown Trout. I found that by making all the wings in an assembly line fashion first made my tying in the end alot of fun and speeded up the process. Just my two cents worth. Finally I forgot to mention nice pattern selection.

I'll tie muddlers then.
I do believe I've got enough hair on hand.
I suppose I should go w/ gapen's pattern and not mine. that's ok.

alright i finally found it... im going to do a Wooly bugger. only kidding . I will do a size 8 muddler minnow but will change it if there is a problem. I noticed that some one else is already doing a muddler, does that mean I should choose a different pattern?
-
Bluwatr & Ontariosteelheader:
Welcome aboard and your both in. Ontariosteelheader is it possible for you to pick another pattern, we already have a muddler and a marabou muddler being tied. Let me know.
Andy B

-

Ontariosteelheader:
A matuka would be a good pattern for this swap. I will put you down for that. If you change your mind let me know.

Andy ,I would like to change my pattern to the royal coachman bucktail instead of the shushan postman. If that's ok? I don't have any jungle cock and I think the postman looks better with them. Let me know.
Thanks, Chad

Attention all swappers. The swap has been filled and I will not accept any one else in this swap. Please send the flies to the following address:

I look forward to seeing every-ones work. Please make sure to have fun and enjoy this swap. I am tying a pattern that I never attempted to tye. So for me this will be fun and will be a little learning experience.
Thanks To All
