Double Terrestrial Swap **Completed**

[bassman]

My last Terrestrial Swap has had so many lookers and is still being looked at, so I decided to do another one with a twist. It looks like the trend right now is large numbers of flies for swaps. So this one will be for two different flies. You will need to pick two terrestrials to tie.
Lets limit this to 12 tiers. That will be 2 patterns 12 flies each, total of 24 flies. Any bug or insect that is not normally in the water but may end up there by falling or being wind blown into the water.
Signup Deadline will be Feb 15, Flies do to me by April 1.
Besure to ship your flies in a box big enough and strong enough to hold the flies you will be getting back. Enclose it along with a return stamped and addressed envelope into an envelope strong enough to hold it all. No metered mailing strips please. Don't forget to toe tag your flies. Also please mark your envelopes with your online name and the swap name.
I will PM you My Shipping Address as you sign up for the Swap. Please let me know when you receive my Address.

I will be tying a Tan Foam Hopper and a Red Lady Bug.

I would like to jump in (pardon the pun) with a black ant and indictor hopper. Thanks.

Diane

[bassman]

Your in Diane, and thanks for joining in for this one. John

[Vulture6]

I'd like to get in on this one.

I'll do a black bucktail beetle and a mini-hopper (it can imitate many different things - started off as a fluttering caddis but kind of grew into a hopper pattern after several trips to Mossy Creek in the Shenandoah valley).

Both flies are my own design (thus the fancy names), and are my "go-to" flies when all else fails.

I'll include the recipes with the flies.

[bassman]

Vulture6, You are in and thanks for joining. My Foam Hopper and My Lady Bug are also my go to flies in the Spring. John

[bassman]

Bumping this one back up. I am sure there are many out there that like to tie and use terrestrials. John

[Rick Z]

Bee popper and beetle

Rick

[bassman]

Rick, you are in thanks very much for joining in on this one. John

[George Emanuel]

I'd like to do the LeTort Hopper, and the LeTort Cricket, both were designed by Ed Shenk, and have become PA classics.
Thanks,
George Emanuel

[bassman]

Sounds great George, your in. Thanks for joining. John
