SWAP CLOSED
9 swappers, tying 18 flies each - 18 of same fly, or 9 of two different flies - swapper's choice
Swappers are spread between FAOL and FTF.
OK - my current swap is coming to an end, and I have an idea for another - The Spun & Crippled Swap... inspired by Kelly Galloup's Cripples & Spinners book - and also by the podcast on Fly Fishing Internet Radio - check this out.
So, here goes:
Allowed Patterns: anything that is a cripple or spinner
Number of Tyers: Min 12, Max 20 - when signing up, just be prepared to tie up to 20 flies if we get that level of interest.
Sign-up Deadline: 10th June (extended) - 5pm EST - I'll close it out then at whatever number of tyers we have. If it's less than 12 I'll extend the deadlines so we can get a good swap size. Advise pattern ASAP after signing up - I'll bug you till you do.
Tying Deadline: 17th July - flies to be received by then at latest.
Rules: Check them out... just note the toe tags, rigid package, self-addressed envelope etc. requirements.
I'll PM you my address for shipping when the sign-up closes.
Don't leave to the last minute - if I get them in early, I'll ship them back early.
If you read the book or listen to Kelly's podcast, you'll realize how important fishing this type of fly is - what better way to get stuck in than with a good selection of flies.
Thanks - it's a joy hosting a swap on this forum.
