    Default getting around to it swap

    Have you been meaning to learn to spin deerhair or tie wonderwings? Maybe you want to try some dremel bugs or clouser minnows. This swap is for you. Looking for twelve people brave enough to set out to learn something new well enough to swap the results. Duplicates of the same technique are fine. This is about geting around to trying something new. Sign up by the end of February with flies due by the end of March. Send toe tags with recipes and FAOL handle along with flies in a crushproof container and return postage on an addressed envelope . I've always liked the looks of woven flies but wondered if they were worth the extra effort so that is what I'll be doing.

    and this is a size six forWestern streams:

    Bugman I'll send you my address in a P.M. So far we have five tyers so you would need to send four flies. Hopefully we will fill this swap and you'll need 11. I'll send you my address in a p.m. after sign up closes on the 28th. The flies should reach me before the end of March. I'm looking foreward to seeing that fly. Since I got the basic braid figured out now I had been thinking of a hex nymph as a good choice for a braided body. Bill, I got you down for a muddler (on a #24 hook right).
