    Default Hook Size ......COMPLETE

    I had an Idea at work today for another swap. Sort of like the A- Z Swap, but based on hooksize instead of the fly name. Any fly pattern you wish but it has to be on the size hook you pick. I listed what I could think of for hook sizes I have seen commonly available, but if someone wants to tie something larger or smaller than what is listed let me know and we can add it to the list.


    1. 2 HMD- Deciever - DONE
    2. 4 Gardenfish- Punch streamer - DONE
    3. 6 Namekagon - Black Ghost. -DONE
    4. 8 Bassman -Boa Yarn Leech -DONE
    5. 10 PW Bray - Black rabbit fur leech -DONE
    6. 12 Roadhog - copper john -DONE
    7. 14 Bill Dorgeloh - sulfur spinner RECIEVED
    8. 16 cholcomb13 - metallic peacock & partridge (spider) -DONE
    9. 17 ibrb - Royal Wulff. - DONE
    10. 18 GT2fly - Hare's Ear Nymph -RECIEVED
    11. 20 zimrx17 - WD-40 (gray)-recieved
    12. 22 MarkKillam - simple ray charles DONE
    13. 24 Paddy80701 - Yong Specials -DONE
    14. 26
    15. 28
    16. 30

    The usuall swap rules apply:

    1. toe tags with the hook size, fly name, and FAOL name, email, and anything else you wish to put on your tags

    2. Box large enough for the flies you will recieve.

    3. One fly for each of the other swappers.

    4. Return Postage/ money to cover your return Shipping from Canada. CD jewel cases and similar thin cases can be shipped for roughly $2.50, thicker boxes over 3/4 inches thick (Altoids tins do not fit the slot they use for pricing so cost about $5.00) are roughly $5.00 to ship to the USA.

    5. Signup date Feb 1st, Flies due to me by March 1st

    Edit : I dropped the 1/0 and 2/0 from the swap to cut down on the huge flys. I Bought size 2 streamer hooks for something else and will do decivers on them instead.

    Your in, this should be a pretty interesting swap. From Large streamers to spiders and most likely some tiny midges.

    No interest? I figured this one would be a quick filler.
