A dry fly swap

All about flies Fly Swaps
1

I have just started tying drys the past few months and am finally to the point I feel my creations are worth sharing. Lets see your favorite drys or emerger patterns. Even if you don’t think your that good at tying drys tie some up and join this swap it’s a good place to learn

The usuall swap rules apply:

  1. toe tags with the hook size, fly name, and FAOL name, email, and anything else you wish to put on your tags

  2. Box large enough for the flies you will recieve.

  3. Please tie 12 flies for this swap so everyone recieves a full set. It makes it much easier for me to do the sorting if I have 12 flies from each tier as I sort as flies come in. Extras for the swapmiester are not required but appreciated.

  4. Money to cover your return Shipping from Canada. Its been costing me $5 per set of swap flies to ship out swap flies and I can not use US stamps to mail from Canada.

  5. Signup date Jan 30th, Flies due to me by Feb 29th. Flies recieved after the due date will be returned to sender as it is not fair to others who have thier flies to me ontime. Shipping to Canada can sometimes take 2 weeks so try and mail all flies early to insure they arrive on time.

  6. Please insure all customs declarations are filled out as no value gift and fishing flies so I do not have to pay duty on swap flies being sent to me

IMPORTANT, IF YOU HAVE NOT YET MAILED YOUR FLIES TO ME PLEASE SEND THEM TO ME AT:
