I made the suggestion in the chat room that someone should organize a fly swap for those of us who fish either the white bass or shad runs. The flies seem to be interchangeable and the fishing methods very similar.

This swap should be a lot of fun, as will fishing the flies later this winter and spring, during the runs.

Deadlines:
Sign-up: November 15, 2005
Flies Due: December 15, 2005

The swap is open to a dozen tyers, everyone will submit a dozen flies, and receive a complete set back. Please toe tag your flies and provide return postage.
