Chance Swap (Full)

[wireguy]

Hey everyone.

Here is a tenitive list of the the flies you may get your chance to tie. If there is any objections (materials are hard to come by etc..) let me know and I will make changes if needed.

All the flys are right of the archives here so that the recipe and tying instructions are easily found. Ok, so take a peek if any comments please let me know. It is ok to tie these with some variation of materials but make sure if you do that its not becasue you always tie it that way. This swap is about a chance to hone your skills and maybe find a pattern that catches lotttts of fish.

Harvey,
That works for me. It's your swap, you pick whatever flies that appeal to you. Not knowing what we will be tying is part of the fun of this swap.

sounds good, just let me know which one to take a crack at

[Feenom]

Also...I'm up for letting Greg sneak in this one, if it's alright with the swapmaster and everyone else....others have done it for me before ...Jason

Well I did the drawing today, Had my girlfriend pick numbers out of a hat, (cabelas hat ) and the results are in. You can each find the recipe in the archives, again some modifications are fine but the object is to tie a new fly not one you tie all the time. I am sure you have all tied most of these patterns one way or another but mayb not this exact one.
