Summer Time Bugs Swap III

[deserttrout]

Swap is closedThanks to the 36 hardy soles that have signed up. It is gonna be fun!!!!



Looking for tyers for this one. I have run this for two years on another site with great results. Just want some new tyers involved. Room for 6-10 tyers.

Anyway we have until 15 Jun to sign up and 30 Aug to complete the flys.

Let's look at some more streamers (warmwater or coldwater)> (trout, gills, steelhead - your decision).

Self-addressed stamped envelops (MANDATORY), toe tags etc (all the
normal rules or guidelines)

Again for our friends not in the US, send 3-6 extra flys and I will pay the postage back BUT you still need a self-addressed envelope.

Also will need your email address so I can make a group list of all the tyers. This will make it easier to keep everyone up to date.

Some of the lurkers and newly signed up - get your vises dusted off and get to tying.

Note: This will be a large swap with 36 tyers as this is being marketed on other forums.
This is the reason for the long due date and why I need your personal email address (not forum address).
It will be fun.....

Shoot... I signed up at the other site. Don't think I can handle both places.

Jim, I received the flys in today's mail. Thanks for hosting an awesome swap and thanks to all the folks who hung in there and tied some beautiful summertime bugs.

My PC has been going through menopause for the past week and was not able to get into the internet.

Mailed both sets Wednesday, was waiting for one more set from Canada but Me thinks the mounties have some new flies.

All in all it was a great swap. The streamers are some of the best I have seen. Quality all the way. I will be doing a framed version and hope to send you all a pic. Am in the process of going through four years of fly swaps, all my extras and extra material to mail out next week to both chapters of Project Healing Waters.

Wild Bill (a professional photo-dude, retired Army, fought Bruce Lee in a movie and my fly fishing teacher) has agreed to take some stills and email them out to us. It may take some time as he now works in the "Puzzle Palace" and is on the go with our so called leaders.

Yesterdays Dr visit was good and bad. Good is I am getting better - Bad is that I can't go on my annual "Father Daughter" Steelhead trip up near Hell's Canyon as there is a fear that since we would be roughing it; there could be some possible adverse reactions to the injections I would have to give myself. Oh well, next year.

God Bless
Jim
