Think Spring Trout Fly Swap

Think Spring Trout Fly Swap

Never run a swap - though bassman might say "its about time". But, this cold (6 degrees in Tennessee! ) has got me thinking about Spring and some good trout fishing.

So, let's do a swap of early Spring trout flies. Pick any spring time trout fly to tie.

This will be for 12 tiers, 12 flies each

Signup deadline will be February 1st
Flies to me deadline will be March 15

Please do not signup if you do not intend to complete this one.

As you sign up try to let me know which fly you will be tying and what
size hook you will be tying. This helps everyone to know what size box to use.

Be sure to ship your flies in a box big enough and strong enough to
hold the flies you will be getting back.

Enclose it along with a return stamped and addressed envelope
into an envelope strong enough to hold it all.

No metered mailing strips please.

Don't forget to toe tag your flies.

Please let me know when you ship your flies.

Also please mark your envelopes with your online name and the swap name.

I will PM you My Shipping Address as you sign up for the Swap. Please let me know when you receive my Address.

At the end of the swap please let me know when you receive the flies back.

Have fun!

John

One of my favorite flies for spring time trout is the Ladies Fish Finder. If it is ok I will get in with a size 16. Thanks John

I would like to join in on this if you dont mind.

I would be tying a beadhead green psycho prince - size 14.....always a favorite of mine to use as a dropper in the spring.

Thanks

RCream and deserttrout welcome to the swap. Glad to have you join in. Hope you enjoy! JohnR

John R I like cherry pie LOL. I want in on this one. I think I will tie a size 10 stillwter nymph. I like this and most of my trout fishing is done in stillwater. May even have to go out this next month and try some out again. This is by far my favorite fly which I have caught fish in ponds lakes rivers and creeks.
