    Default Replacement - not quite entomology swap - completed

    Somewhere in the transfer of the database, all of my posts were lost. Here is the replacement of the NQE swap as previously posted. Use this thread as a communcation area until the old swap is (hopefully) replaced. Thanks bassman for the backup here.



    Let's do a swap based on the FAOL not quite entomology series.
    Here's a link if you need it.

    http://www.flyanglersonline.com/feature ... chive.html

    I would like each swapper to pick one category from the series
    (i.e. sedges, stones, etc.) and tie a fly that represents it
    during any of its stages of life. Please no duplicate categories.
    Let's try to get as many representatives here as we can.
    Please pick your category when you sign up. I will hold off and
    tie something from whatever categories are left after signups
    are completed. If all goes well, we should be able to end up with
    a pretty decent variety of flies that cover a fair spectrum of the
    trout's food sources.


    Limit will be 13 swappers, including the swapmeister.
    Deadline for signup will be on July 21. Each swapper should send 12
    flies (13 if you want one of your own back) to me by August 21 with
    proper return postage and packaging, a crushproof container, and
    toetags.

    Flies came in from essobee today. Good looking flies....and more. I must say that is the first time I've been pranked while hosting a fly swap. Thanks for the laugh. Those will be making their rounds on fly swaps here. I'll have to throw one or 2 in on the swaps I participate in from here on. You might have started a new FAOL swapping tradition. But I think they might work pretty good if you glue them on a hook, too!

    ol' blue,

    Maybe I missed it with the hiccup of the conversion to the new bulletin board but can you please post or email me your mailing address?

    I intend to get the flis in the mail early next week.

    Also, I have not been real happy with the way my midges came out so I'm going to also send a batch of red midges to go with the blacks I tied. Hoping quantity will compensate for quality.

    Thanks,
    Terry

    You didn't get the e-mail since your e-mail address isn't visible in your profile. I PM'd you the shipping info. Thanks again for signing up!

    ol' blue,

    My midges are tied and will be out in the mail this evening.

    Just to confirm, you PM'd your mailing address to me didn't you?

    Thanks,
    Terry
