Two material only swap.
This swap is a simple yet challenging swap. You can tie any fly you want but it uses only 2 materials, for example deer hair and floss or foam and legs. Thread does not count nor does the hook and head cement. Toe tags like always but if you can please add the pattern to the tag. This swap is open to 14 swappers. Deadline to Join the swap is the 20th of May. Flies need to arrive by the 10rd of June. all flies will ship out the 17th of June. if more people are interested in this swap i will run another in June unless its only one or two people extra.
One way to make it easy for the swapmiester is to put the flies in the properly addressed return package (Don't seal it!!) and have the PO put the proper return postage on it and then put it in a properly addressed package to me and have them post it and then send it.
Not Counted as Material: HOOK, Thread, Head Cement/Epoxy (Wire/Mono/Floss can be substituted for thread. and will not be counted as Material)
Counts As Materials: Bead-heads, Lead wire, Foam, Floss, Ect.
Toe tag flies with the name and recipe as will as your name. And be sure to Include return postage with your submission.

sweet jack
welcome poperfly
-
I wanted to thank everyone as this is my fisrt time ask swap hostess. 6 slots filled and 8 slots open.
-
I'm in with a Snip & Yellow if you will have me.
-
Char;
Remind everyone to tag their flys with the name and receipe as will as their name. And be sure to Include return postage with your submission.
One way to make it easy for the swapmiester is to put the flys in the properly addressed return package (Don't seal it!!) and have the PO put the proper return postage on it and then put it in a properly addressed package to Char and send it. That way she does not have to even stand in line at the PO to send them back to us.

Tom:
BWO looks interesting. Have you tied with starling feathers before? How do they work out? I'm always interested in using
"found" materials!
-
I will do it without the beadheaD.
Rick
-
teachmarkey: I love using starling feathers,there free and look great.
Plus the bird has different sized feathers.
But the shafts break easily easy.
-
yes they do sterling feathers can be hard to work with. some of my older patterns that use it say to strip the hook side half do you do that tom?
-
Sign me up, Char.... I gotta give a little thought on the pattern, I'll let ya know in a day or two.........Modoc Dan

-
Hi Char,

Allan
-
Welcome Allan glad to have you
-
Char;
The tag taped to 4# test mono and after I pass it through the eye a tie a figure 8 knot to keep it from slipping back through.
-
you use that instead of tippet?
-
Char;
I have lots of partial spools of mono & Fluorocarbon left over from furling leaders why use anything else.
PS. I can't find your snail mail address in your profile!
