Swap of the month 2009 signup

[bobbymojo]

Good evening. If any spots open up and you are in need of a replacement, please allow me to volunteer. I have been looking to get back into the swing of tying and this really looks great.

Thanks.

I have you as the first alternate. Chances are that someone will miss a deadline or drop out, so I'll let you know as soon as that happens.

We are a ways off from July, but think "egg yarn." Can be an egg pattern or be egg-containing such as egg sucking leech. Or can be a flesh fly or anything else as long as the egg yarn is a part of the fly. Doesn't necessarily have to have an "egg" as part of it.

I will tie Randall Kauffman's fresh roe fly. End of May I'll post the sign-up along with my shipping address as it's high time I hosted a swap!

I know that July is considered "Fourth of July" time, but when you think about it, flies are due at the end of the month so July 4 has come and gone. Also, there seems to be a few "patriot" or "red white and blue" swaps on this board and others. With steelhead and salmon runs starting a few months later it might be good to give people time to study the patterns and tie their own supplies.

Just a quick bump to keep this current. Don't forget to see when your month is to pick the theme (and host if you want to). If you want suggestions for themes, post here and we can come up with some interesting ideas. Here are some ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

Feathers only
Hair only
Tiny
Large (oversized or just large patterns)
Color specific (i.e. yellow or team colors)
Old flies
bluegill
bass
new fly (pick a pattern you've never tied before)

Hello,

I saw your note and wanted to ask if you have a list of who is assigned to which month. Since I was a late addition to the swap I want to make sure I do not miss my month.

Thank you,

Bob

Post 7 in this thread has the updated list. You are in for wetflyguy, so you have August for your month. Sorry I didn't have that updated before.
