    Default International Swap

    This swap is now Mailed! JGW


    Okay, this one is costly due to the postage. Since this is an international site, I'll take two swappers from each country involved be it the U.S., Holland, Norway, Chile, NZ (Jeff Hamm?) . . . whereever, whatever. Pike to trout. Your choice. Limit 12 tiers. Sign up is prior to Christmas, say December 26. Due to logistics let's air for a deadline by Valentine's Day -- that would be February 14, 2009 for the unaware. I'm in on this one, so one more person from the States. Any water type, any fly ? salt, warm or trout. Send the flies to John G. White, Box 672, Clara City, MN 56222. Make sure you provide return envelops with the correct postage stamps.

    I just saw this.... guess I won't have a chance to get anything done before Christmas but if the date is later I will be able to.... Would be great to see some interest in these.

    I may regret this but put me in for Oz.

    Hi,

    This looks like a great idea. I'm flying out to Canada in just over a weeks time, and won't be taking my tying gear with me otherwise I would be in.

    Hey, I'm new to this stuff but it sounds fun. If I were to go in this would you be able to guide me though the process. Heres a little bit about me. I have only been tying for 1 yr. I live in eastern Canada and absolutely love to Fly Fish and tie flies. I understand if you want someone more expirienced at tying, just tell me.

    Thanks, Nic

    Gringo and Hamm --- the sign up is before Christmas, then there is a long month or so to get the flies in. I'd like them by February 14, but due to international mailing, etc., that can be flexible. Nic, you're in. There is a post at the start by Bassman that pretty much gives all the pertinent details on how to submit a swap. I'll put all three of you down. Okay? If not, PM me. Thanks. JGW

    Flies were sent before end of January -- did they arrive???? First post still shows as not yet received.
