THIS SWAP IS CLOSED

This is designed to give tiers a chance to be COLORFUL! (though not in their language - please!). Each month the fly will have as the main color a new color in the rainbow. The swap will run for six months with a different color theme each month. The colors and due dates follow:
Red - Due by Febuary 22, 2011
Orange - Due by March 22, 2011
Yellow - Due by April 19, 2011
Green - Due by May 24, 2011
Blue - Due by June 21, 2011
Violet - Due by July 26, 2011
I will run this swap for no less than 6 and no more than 10 participants and registration will close by COB January 4th, 2011. Please do not register for this swap unless you plan on tying all 6 flies. I would like to limit flies to freshwater only. Please include the name of your fly when registering and toe tags when mailing your flies. I will send my mailing address to you when you are confirmed for the swap.

Have fun and I look forward to hearing from you!

I’ll Play if you take continental swappers, we have to work out the postage, because being European I cannot buy American stamps. Maybe some extra flies or materials or Paypal?
I’ll do a red spinner.
Grtzzz…
Sjo

I would like to join. Will start with the Scarlet Lbis.

4

Please, sign me up… I need to do a little researxh to pick a red pattern… I’ll get back to you later today…
…ModocDan
…I’ll go with a red midge pupa pattern I used summer before last that fished well, I can’t recall the name of it,
but it was productive…Dan

5

Does the fly have to be of an offical pattern or can we make up our own as long as it is fishable

6

As I said at the end of the initial annoucement -HAVE FUN! Love to see new designs!! Plus, even WITH a formal, known design - I NEVER guarentee that my flies would be descibed as FISHABLE! I only know that there are two good days when fishing - days you catch fish and days you don’t. ALL of my flies pass one of those two standards.

7

sjo. ibrb, modocdan and scubatim - you are all registered for this swap - please remember this swap will entail 1 fly per month for 6 months total. Glad to have you aboard.

sjo,

Always appreciate any flies or tying materials - same goes for the TECHNIQUE SWAP. I’ll leave that decision to your good graces - whatever is easiest for you.

Welcome Flygal! Happy to have you join us. FYI - your PM came up on my screen before I saw this listing. Just let me know what fly you will be tying for this swap.

13

Looks like we will have a cozy total of 6 tyers in this swap. I look forward to seeing your flies!

Also, I hope everyone will join me in welcoming a new member of the FAOL family - Flygal.

Have fun everyone!

14

Thanks Kim. I think I am going to try a red classic wet wing.

15

Hey Flygal, over here also! And again making a swap possible, that’s almost too much! I am very happy that you participate in these two swaps!!
Grtzzz…
Sjo

Welcome Flygal

17

I received your flock of ibis in the mail. Great looking flies and enough for 2 flies per swapper! Thanks ibrb!!

18

Just wanted to let you know I will be tying red brassie flymphs on a Mustad C49S size 12 curved caddis hook

19

Okay RED Froo Froo flies are on the way to you. Seriously folks, I have been practicing body work for classic salmon flies and the red color gave me a chance to play. Hope you don’t mind but I think they came out okay. I am still waiting on hooks for my thundercreek assignment in the other swap. Should be fun.
Now to start figuring out what to tie for orange…hmmmm…

I look forward to seeing them! Thanks Flygal!
