Parachute Swap Flies Swap is completed:::
Just want to see if I can get one more swap in before we all get down to some serious fishing.
This one will be for any parachute fly you want to tie.
12 tiers and 12 flies, you will get back one of your own.
Deadline for sign up May 5.
Flies in my hands no later than June 8th.
Put your flies in a box that is big enough and strong enough to hold your flies.
Enclose your box and a self addressed stanped envelope in to another envelope big enough to hold all of it.
Please no metered mailing strips.
Please do not forget to toe tag your flies.
This is open to all tiers.
I will PM you my shipping address when you join the swap.
I will be tying the Gulper Special
Thanks to all that join in advance. John

Re: Parachute Swap Only 3 spots Left
I got to thinking last night as I was tying up the 6th of my 12 Royal Wulffs; does this fly count as a parachute? http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytyin ... art19.html I having been tying or fishing for very long, so I guess I'm a little confused about what the true definition of parachute is. I'll change to a different on, if I need to. Let me know.
Thanks, Eric

Re: Parachute Swap Only 3 spots Left
I would say the Royal Wulff would be ok for this one. John

There is no hackle on that fly that is wrapped in a horizontal plane, and there is no "post", technically, that the hackle is wound AROUND. So, that fly does not qualify as a parachute fly.
