Now for something a little different! I'm proposing a swap that will be for flies using a specific list of materials. You can use any combination of the materials on the list below, but nothing else. Any hook you want, but only items from the list of materials below can be tied on.

peacock herl (standard not dyed)
grizzly hackle (saddle or neck, rooster or hen)
black thread
white chenille (ultra or regular-not pearl or ice)
hare's mask (natural)

Open to 10 people plus the swapmeister. Standard swapping guidelines: Tie 10 flies of your choice and ship them to me with toetags, packaging, crushproof container and return shipping. I will send shipping information as soon as the swap fills. I'm going to leave this one open for a bit longer than usual so people can experiment just a bit if they need to. So due date for flies to be to me is March 31st. I'm looking forward to seeing what you all can come up with on this one. If it turns out well, I can see this swap becoming the first in a series with changing materials lists.
