All about flies Fly Swaps

THIS SWAP IS FULL!!

This Swap is my first, but I have been in many others. I would like 13 swappers including myself to tie up the ONE fly you reach in your box for and have the most confidence in not to get skunked. That fly you have tied on the most. It probably is a fly you like to tie as well. I will tie up a size 18 red ass that always seems to get results for me. Thanks for joining in advance!

The sign up deadline will be Jan. 31st. Flies due to me no later than March 5th.
All the usual rules apply if you have any questions send me an e-mail.

Send flies to: Chad copsy
182 s. Randolph st.
Paris AR 72855

    ATTENTION SWAPPERS

You will be tying 13 flies each.
Send the flies With an S.A.S.E.or an S.A.S.E. with enough money to get it back to you (I prefer the envelope to be stamped) in a crush proof container ie. Altoids tin, plastic travel soap container etc.

Chad,

Count me in. I’ll probably tie a # 16 or 18 flashback pheasant tail nymph. I’m with nightangler … I have three favorites and I have to choose between them. Hey, maybe a good swap might be “Your 3 favorite go to flies …”

Thanks for the invite.

This is shaping up well so far. Thanks for joining everyone. Nightangler and gqualls just tie the one out of the three you will grab first.

There are 5 spots left. When you get a pattern picked out just post what it is and we can move forward from there.

Chad,
Let me in. We have been using a plethera of flies so far but I think the best is the Bead Head Brassie. What do you think? Size 20 as usual.

Willy

11

Thought about this all night, and decided on a quill gordon nymph pattern that I have good luck with this last season. Sign me up.
CJ

The only limitations we have are the ones we put on ourselves.

13

Welcome Aboard Mikey and Cklenske! Glad to have you and since Mikey ramped it up with a two fly dropper rig I will have to step it up and come up with another fly to go with the Red Ass, probably a Zebra midge.

Only Two spots left and we are ready to Roll on this one!

Hey CHad, shoot me an email at parrothead_crb@Hotmail.com. I was curios to see if you were going to try and make the sowbug round up.

17

You can count me in. I will tie up my special nymph. It is my own design so it has no name-sorry.

Brian.

18

“my special nymph” is a cute name.

19

Your in Brian, And that my friends means the swap is full. Thanks Again all of you and let’s get those flies in on time.

Remember to let me know the pattern you are tying a.s.a.p. if you have not picked it yet and I will post it.

My e-mail addy is on my profile. I need Night angler to send me his e-mail address so I can corispond if need be.
