I would like to join the swap. Instead of a Crazy Charlie, how about a Patriotic Charlie. Will that do?

Here is a good chance for all of you tiers to get in on great swap. If you have contemplated getting into a swap here is a good one. This is an easy swap and you do have until the new year to get your flies tied up. I am sure since the Thanksgiving Holidays are now over this swap will fill up real quick. Don’t wait to long and miss your chance for this one. John
