Well , I do belive I’m up to host the April Swap. So I’m thinking of a different kind of swap here and here is my Idea. A magazine swap. This would a fly from any publication that you have access to and have always wanted to tie, but never have. The source can be from magazine, online media, or forum. Remeber a fly you have never tied!
Just saw as new nymph pattern online. Wwill do it. A Gingreach pattern I believe.

I’m in, Hatches Magazine (electronic) RW40 bead / nymph pattern. It is a varaiation of the WD40.
I just ran across a cool-looking pattern on YouTube called the Traffic Light Buzzer. I’ll do that one. The one on YouTube is slightly different than this one (better, IMHO).

It is going to be obvious I haven’t tied this before.
