    Mr. Twister Swap

    This sign-up period is over.
    Eight typers are participating.

    Please send your eight flies so that they arrive at the swapmiester by Feb 2, 2011.

    Also, please send your flies with "toe tags".



    Many of us started fishing by chucking hardware for bass. One of the more productive lures is the rubber worm or rubber grub with a Mr. Twister type tail. That is, a curly thin rubber tail that gives life to a rubber grub or worm. In the past I have read threads about how various fly-tyers have emulated this venerable pattern. So, I was wondering, are there ten fly tyers out there who share an interest in tying up a batch of flies with Mr. Twister-type tails and swapping? I hope so.
    All fly patterns for this swap must have a tail like a Mr. Twister tail. Any hook size, any materials you choose.

    Send flies with toe tags and return postage to me so that they arrive on or before groundhog day, February 2, 2011. Flies that do not include postage will be held until postage is paid. Communication is important. Please give timely notice if you can not fulfill your commitment. I will send my e mail address by pm to all who join the swap.

    Sign up deadline is high noon (Eastern Time Zone USA, Coordinated Universal Time minus 5 hours) on Saturday Jan. 8 unless the swap is full before then.
    I will post the number of flies needed at that time.

    here are web pages from two previous swap that I hosted: http://edengelman.com/Chuck/swap.html

    an article I wrote that is on this site, http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flyt...s/part318.html
    and my home page: http://edengelman.com

    Thank you,
    Ed Engelman

    " Fishermen, hunters, wood choppers, and others,
    spending their lives in the fields and woods,
    in a peculiar sense a part of Nature themselves,
    are often in a more favorable mood for observing her,
    in the intervals of their pursuits,
    than philosophers or poets even,
    who approach her with expectation."

    Henry David Thoreau
