Pink Fly Swap
This weeks post in the Old Flies and Things section has inspired me to do a Pink Fly Swap.
This swap will be for 12 tiers 12 flies each. Any fly that has at least one material that is pink in color your fly does not have to be from the Old Flies and Things.
Signup deadline. August 1, Flies due to me September 1.
Besure to ship your flies in a box big enough and strong enough to
hold the flies you will be getting back.
Enclose it along with a return stamped and addressed envelope
into an envelope strong enough to hold it all.
No metered mailing strips please.
Don't forget to toe tag your flies.
Please let me know when you ship your flies.
Also please mark your envelopes with your online name and the swap name.
I will PM you My Shipping Address as you sign up for the Swap.
Please let me know when you receive my Address.
At the end of the swap please let me know when you receive the flies back.
Above all else have fun with this swap. John

Thanks for the update Chuck, you are always welcome in any of my swaps. John

For those of you that are sitting back and thinking about joining a swap this can be a good one. There are many many flies out there that can be changed just by changing one of the materials to Pink Color. The Green Weenie done in Pink insted of Green became the Barbie Doll and it is a great fish producer in the Smokies So if you are sitting back just thinking about it, take a plunge and try this swap.

John,
I'd love to get in on this one, but, alas, other commitments coincide with the timing. I'd rather err on the side of caution and not disappoint swap members. Sounds like a great swap for tyers of all experience levels.

I would love to have you in this one Ron, But I do understand sometimes the timing is just not right for some things to happen. I agree with you about this being a good oportunity for tiers of all levels. I try to do swaps that are for everyone. Thanks for your interest. John

I would like to tie a Jimi Roe for this... It is my favorite silver salmon fly, but I will tie these smaller than my usual for trout as they would likely get more use...

Got a slot left?
I've decided to bite the bullet and join my very first fly swap. I would like to tie the Double Pink Weenie. I don't think that you can do any better for a pink fly swap than an all pink fly. 8T :)

Eight Thumbs, you are in thanks for joining. It is a pleasure to have one of my swaps be your first. I have been following the thread on your fly. It does look like it would be a very productive fly.

I received a PM from a tier Chuck 10101, a friend of Jim Phillips, that would like to get in on this swap. He is still trying to figure out how to post here. I did give him instructions but they may not be clear. I am putting him in the lost spot. I know he will find his way and post here also. So now this swap is full. Thanks again to all of you for joining in on this swap. John

Got Your Address
Hi Bassman,
Got your address and I'm already to sit down and starting tying some Double Pink Weenies. Thanks so much for taking charge of the swap. I notice that we are now full with 12 tyers. I'm sure glad that I didn't wait another day to respond. Since this is my first swap I've got one question for you. Would an Altoids tin be OK to send and receive the flies in? I've used these tins to send gift flies and they seems to hold up well. Thanks again. 8T :)
-
8T, once again thanks for joining in on this swap, great to have you. Yes some times swaps do fill up real quick. Yes Altoid tins are great to use. They are preferred by most swappers. Some times they are a bit small but most times they are perfect. Thanks again for joining in on this swap. If I can be of any help please let me know. John
