Pet Fur Fly Swap
This swap has been completed as of 3/9/2008.
now that our dogs and cats have their full winter coats, and before they begin to shed it, how about sharing those special flies that can only be made in YOUR home? Gold Ribbed "Tang" Tummy Nymph, anyone? how about "L'il Joe's" Ruff Wet Fly?
this might be the first ever Pet Fur Fly Swap here at FAOL, so don't miss out!
the flies for this swap must include some fur (or feathers) from your resident companion animal, which of course will not be harmed in any way. there is no penalty for using the same pattern as someone else because the name of the fly will be different. here is your chance to immortalize your special animal pal when you name the fly after the provider of the chief ingredient. fly may be large or small, for trout or bass or whatever.
room for 12 tiers--need at least 5
sign up by Jan 30--INCLUDE SIZE OF FLY, PLEASE
flies to me by Feb 29
usual practices apply: my address to you via PM upon sign-up; put your screen name and the name of the fly on a toe tag (and post the recipe on this thread if you want to); send me your flies in a sturdy box big enough to hold the flies you will receive; put your screen name on the box; send a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope (or a new label and enough stamps) for me to use to return the box to you. Delivery Confirmations are nice, but not required.
feel free to post a photo of your pet along with the fly recipe.

Reason: end of swap
fly fishing and baseball share a totally deceptive simplicity; that's why they can both be lifelong pursuits.
