Well , I do belive I'm up to host the April Swap. So I'm thinking of a different kind of swap here and here is my Idea. A magazine swap. This would a fly from any publication that you have access to and have always wanted to tie, but never have. The source can be from magazine, online media, or forum. Remeber a fly you have never tied!
Just saw as new nymph pattern online. Wwill do it. A Gingreach pattern I believe.

I'm in, Hatches Magazine (electronic) RW40 bead / nymph pattern. It is a varaiation of the WD40.
I just ran across a cool-looking pattern on YouTube called the Traffic Light Buzzer. I'll do that one. The one on YouTube is slightly different than this one (better, IMHO).
