Geography swap - Let's do this thing! Only 22 spots left.

[ol' blue]

Ok, folks! Here we go! I'm going to make this work going with the big version. You can reference this thread if you need the background. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/v...p?f=24&t=19373

Everyone should plan on tying 65 flies max (less if we don't fill). I will take one participant to represent each state or province out there, and up to 4 other people from other international locations. (I am combining Nunvut/Yukon/NW Territory due to demographics. If we have multiple entry requests here, I can break them out in place of an international spot or vice versa. I will take multiple international entries and strike a state entry until a full 65 is reached if need be. So sign up if you are interested.) Each person is to provide flies that represent a pattern that is effective in the state/province they sign up for. Warmwater/coldwater/saltwater is acceptable. The only real restriction that I am going to ask for is that everyone keep an eye on the list, and try not to repeat patterns unless it is a significant variation (not just the color). I don't really want to see 50 variations of wooleys/weenies/sanjuans, etc. Try to come up with something somewhat specific to your region if possible. I know that it is tough to do that in this age of information, but I think everyone understands the concept here, and I'm trusting in everyone's judgement/goodwill on this to make this a really cool and enormous swap for everyone involved.

Sign up deadline will be December 31 or when we fill; your 65 flies should be to me by February 8. This swap is based on a theme that really needs to be completed, so PLEASE don't sign up unless you really intend to follow through with this project. If you cannot, notice should be given ASAP, and 1 week before doesn't really allow time for replacements on this one. There are a lot of flies to tie on this one, but I've given everyone 4 full months to tie and ship. As always, send your flies in a large crushproof container (altoids tins won't work on this one!), with return packaging and adequate postage (no metered mail).
For this swap in particular, please make sure all of your flies are toetagged with at least your username, state/province and pattern name on them. There will be so many involved here that if you don't, it will really stink trying to figure out what those flies are.

And also, as always, I do not expect extra goodies or flies--I do this because I like it.

Here the list. Sign up for whatever regions are available that you want to tie for. I will jump in first for Kansas. My pattern is tbd.
