Bead Head, Scuds, Shrimp, and Nymph Swap Is Now Complete

[bassman]

I am proposing a swap for Bead Head, Scuds, Shrimp and Nymph flies.
Signup deadline,15 December. Flies to be to me prior to 1 February.
Please adhere to these deadlines as it makes for a smoother swap and everyone gets their flies back at the right time.
We will limit this to 12 tiers. Send 12 flies and you will also get back one of your own.

Please toe tag your flies with your on line name, email addy and name of fly.

Send them in a strong enough and big enough box to hold the flies you will get in return.

Enclose your box in a strong and big enough envelope to hold your box and a return envelope that is self addressed and stamped with the proper return
postage. Please do not use metered mailing strips.

Mark both of your envelopes and your box with your on line name and the name
of the swap.

If you have any questions please ask and I will do my best to answer them for you.

This is a Bead Head Swap.

I will PM my mailing address as each tier signs up for the swap.

harleybob, you are in and thanks for joining a pleasure to be in another swap with you. John

[fish4trout]

Hi Bassman. Can I get in with a Fox Pupa?

[bassman]

fish4trout, yes you can get in, Thanks for joining. John

Bumping this one back up. John

[bassman]

I like to experiment with flies and change them a bit to see how they will work. So I do add bead heads to a lot of flies that do not normaly have one. I have found that a lot of them work as well if not better. There are no rules in fly tying except for some fly tying contest. You can add a bead head to most any wet fly. Try it some time I am sure you will like it. Just my 2 cents John

[DianeID]

Thanks for letting me join, John. I have always enjoyed your swaps.

Diane

[bassman]

Your very welcome Diane, it is always nice to have you in a fly swap. John

I'll have a go, if that's ok.
Not sure what I'll tie yet.
Maybe a Copper Bead Olive Shuck nymph.
