    Default Safety pin swap

    I've been wanting to do this one for a while. Everyone needs to tie their favorite pattern onto safety pins instead of hooks. This swap will be open to 10 tyers. Sign up will be through May 30, and all flies should be to me by June 13.
    Pattern selection and pin size is up to you, but try to tie something that will look nice pinned onto your hat, vest or jacket.
    Be sure to include your 10 safety pin flies with toetags on them, a crushproof container large enough for the entire set, and a self addressed return envelope with postage (no metered mail).
    Finally, as always, I do not expect extra goodies or flies--I do this because I like it.
    Please post here if you want a spot and priority will be given in posting order. Thanks in advance to everyone signing up!
    I will decide my pattern later.

    I was thinking about putting one of my favorite flies on a safety pin the other day. So if it is ok I would like to get in on this with an Orange Foam Spider. I just tied one up and it looks real nice on my hat. Thanks John
    I wish you all everlasting flies and tight lines.
