As a great lady once said, "trout don't live in ugly places". But all fish eat ugly bugs, thats why we tie them. What better way to learn a new pattern than have one in front of you, so much better than a picture. If it looks buggy, it might still be ugly, but the fish just think, "yummy"!

As far as how many you tie, that depends on the swap. 1 per person usually, sometimes 2.
If you'de like to enter a swap, but aren't sure what to tie or how many to tie, just email the swapmeister or post a question on the thread. You'll get all the info you need. It's a great way to learn new and better ways to tie new patterns. Their great fun.

Just my 2 cents
