[b]DECEMBER 20TH UPDATE:
Have added two new members to these 5 fly swaps, since I do not hold a December Fly Swap you can still get in on the November Soft Hackle Fly Swap, by sending in you Soft Hackle Flies (12) along with your Nymph Flies for the January Nymph Swap
There is only one position still open for membership! The next four fly swaps starts on January 1st 2013. You can still apply for the remaining fly swaps during the month of December, email me at [/b]parnelli@comcast.net[b] Subject Beginner’s Only Fly Swaps. Once you join I will mail out the package for these swaps, and during December you can dress the November Soft Hackle and mail it in with the January Nymph Swap Fly Patterns, or you can start with the January Nymph Swap, your choice. These swaps are for those new to fly tying, and to those who have never joined in a FAOL Fly Swap. [i]~Parnelli
[/i][/b][b]November ~ Soft Hackle Wet Fly
January ~ Nymph Fly
February ~ Dry Fly
March ~ Streamer Fly
April ~ Terrestrial Fly
All flies need to arrive before the last day of the monthly fly swaps.
As Swapmeister I supply the following to members of these 5 fly swaps…[/b]
[ul]
[li]Pre-addressed envelopes for mailing the fly patterns in, and for mailing the fly patterns back.[/li][li]Cardboard box for securing fly patterns for the fly swap patterns[/li][li]FAOL Fly Pattern CD.[/li][li]Toe-Tags for placement on the bend of each fly submitted for the swaps.[/li][/ul][b]At the end of each monthly swap I email a listing of all fly patterns submitted to each member of the swap in pdf format (requires abode reader).
There are only 10 positions open for these five fly swaps. Each member of the swap will submit 12 flies of the pattern they have chosen. The two extras are for replacements of lost packages that go missing in the U.S. Mail (I was the finder of lost mail when employed at the US Mail Recovery Center).
Each of the two mailing envelopes require $1.95 postage, meter strips are allowed for mailing in for each swap, but self-adhesive postage is required for the return shipment (or you can sent $2.00 along with your flies as I have everything check at the Post Office.
I am also a mentor if anyone has a question or difficulties… If a members has a event that prevent them from mailing in on time I should be notified as soon as possible.
