    Talking A to Z Swap 2008 - FULL

    Time for another big one. But then again, after the geography swap, this should be no big deal, right?

    Here is the format. Sign up for a letter of the alphabet and tie 26 flies that represent that letter appropriately. When the swap is filled, everyone will get a set of 26 flies in return.
    For the toetags, PLEASE include the letter you are tying for, your user name, and the pattern name. ( P - ol' blue - pheasant tail nymph)
    Be sure to include your 26 flies with toetags on them, a crushproof container large enough for the entire set, and a self addressed return envelope with postage (no metered mail).
    This is one of the swaps where we really need to have all the entries, so please take stock of your life situation before signing up. If you can't make the deadline or complete the swap, don't sign up. And I understand if something unusual comes up to cause a delay or cancellation, just please give us the courtesy of as much notice as possible, because I will do my best to find a substitute or tie another set myself.
    Sign up will be open through March 28, and I want all of the sets of flies in my hands by April 25. If everyone submits their patterns early, I will sort and return them early (*hint, hint*)
    I will hold off on my fly selection until later, and am planning on picking a new pattern to learn for this swap.
    Finally, as always, I do not expect extra goodies or flies--I do this because I like it.
    Please post here if you want a spot and priority will be given in posting order. Thanks in advance to everyone signing up!

    If it is ok I would like to take O, with my version of an Orange Foam Spider. This is a pattern I found on the web a few weeks ago. I have tried it out on the local gills and they seem to love it. I have been waiting and tying for this one for a while now. Glad to see you do this one again. Thanks John

    I will take S for stillwater nymph. 26 flies are a piece of cake LOL cause I have to tie a hundred for myself anyway.

    If anyone is having problems coming up with patterns for a letter, send me a PM, and I'll give you some additional places to look if you need them. I don't want to post links here that except for FAOL:
