SWAP COMPLETED
Within a month, the tribs of the Great Lakes will rise, the air will knaw it's frosty bite, and most importantly - the Steelhead will make their annual migration to the tribs in high quanitity. In lieu of this, I would like to start a fly swap for Great Lakes Steelhead patterns. Unless I get shot down on this, I would prefer to exclude egg patterns. So if you are interested, please PM me with the streamer/nymph/spey/etc pattern that you would like to submit. Please also include contact information.
The swap is open to the first 12 tiers, where each tier will submit 12 flies.
Signup deadline is September 21. Flies due October 12th.
I will PM my shipping address as each tier joins.
Please ship flies (with toe tag/recipe) in a box large/strong enough to contain the flies that will be returned. Please take note to the posted flies and consider the size of the flies into box sizing. When shipped to me, please shoot me a PM. I will notify via this thread when each set of flies has arrived as well as when the swap will be distributed. Please let me know via PM when you receive the flies back.
Please include a self addressed envelope with return postage (no metered mailing strips please).
I am excited to see what creative/productive/reel screaming patterns we can compile!
Thanks,
Chris
