Stimulator Swap

SWAP IS CLOSED

I've been very busy for a the last couple of years but recently I done a little fishing and a little tying. I want to host a stimulator swap....your favorite stimmie. I will limit this to a total of 12 tiers (including myself). Flies due by October 1st. SASE, toetags required, when finished pm me and I will send you my mailing address....I will tie my go to stimulator the "Prism Stimulator". (old timers should remember me.....for the newer folks....see my pattern in FOTW Dec 10th 2007).

1. cholcomb13 - prism stimulator
2. WCCNovice
3. Allan - royal stimulator
4. Mr. Blur

I'd like to join your swap. I don't actually know the name of the stimulator I tie, but it's got a yellow abdomen and an orange head with brown and grizzly and deer body hair. It's one of the many that work on our waters in Delaware.

Hi,

Like to hop in on this swap. Think I'll opt for a good attractor stimy pattern - the Royal Stimulator.

Allan

You are both in

casey,

If I wasn't so tied up with other things I'd jump on this. Maybe next time.

Folks, Cholcomb13 is an FAOL Old Timer that I've been in many swaps with. Don't hesitate to join in on this one. His prism stimmie is a killer fly.

Nice to see you again. Buddy.

Ron thanks for the kind words....hey we'll make it work with how ever many we get. :)

okay - I'll do it. stimmies are among my favorite to tie and fish.

You are in

Hi,

What is the sign up deadline date so we can know how many flies to tye?

Thanks.

Allan

Allan you are reading my mind....I will leave this open through the weekend last day to sign up will be Monday (labor day) sept 5th. I would say tie no more than 12 (if we get to 6 that would be 2 flies per person. One to fish and one to keep :) )

Btw Allan are you in?

To which you responded, "You're both in". You were refering to me and WCCNovice.

YES! I am in.

Will get back to tying these flies now.

Allan

It's been a crazy week.....

Okay. I finished the flies for this swap. Would you email or PM your mailing address so I can get them to you. 12 flies, right?

Allan

I'm not sure if this is worth the cost of admission. There are only 4 swappers if I counted right.
Allan

Allan you have counted right....

We can go one of three ways

1. 8 flies total that way we get 1 to keep and 1 to fish
2. We can tie two different patterns (I will will let the second be your choice)
3. Cancel all together ( I still think one or two is the way to go....keep in mind if we have a person or two drop that kind of dictates what the rest of us will do)

So what's your vote, majority will decide...LET ME KNOW ASAP

As I said in my PM, I'm game for tying 8. If the vote is for two flies, I'll have to go with a Renegade variant.

Do we have a consensus on how we will proceed? I'm done with my flies (8) for the original swap. I just need an address to mail to and a final decision.

Thanks,
Dave

Well, I had completed the flies for this swap and was hoping there'd be more participation. The swapmeister emailed that he was figuring how to procede based on a vote of the participants. While I voted that it would be best to just forget the whole thing, I will go along with the idea of 2 flies for each participant if that is the majority vote. I will not however, tye an additional 2 flies per swapper of another pattern.
Oh, WCCNovice, if there are 4 participants, we only have to send in 6 flies.

Please post decision soon.

Allan

I heard from everyone and we will go with number 1.....8 flies total....which means you only have to send 6 (you won't get yours back). I'll pm my address shortly. Don't forget Self addressed stamped envelope, crush proof container and toe tags.

Thanks for understanding and participating.

Allan I tried to pm you and your mailbox is full

Flies are in the mail as of 2pm today.

Got mine yesterday. Lovely flies, thank you all. I feel like the poor man in the group. Your flies seem like display flies. Mine are just for fishing. :)
