As you all know John Eaton, aka bassman, passed away this last weekend. John was an enthusiastic swapper, and I don’t think that there was a swap that I can remember that he passed up.
So this will be a swap in his memory. There is no limit on tyers, and no theme involved. Pick a pattern, tie 1 good fly and send it to me. I will collect them, repackage them in a box, and forward the swap to his family with the FAOL swap communities condolences. You will need no return postage or packaging. Just have your entries to me before March 1. PM me for shipping info if I don’t get it to you.
Sign up on this thread so I know what is coming and how big of a fly box to pick up. Thanks.

Bassman was in almost every swap i did on this forum. I looked up to him even though i never met him. He will be missed. I don’t know what to tie yet i will have to think about this one ,but i will post when i decide. My prayers and condolences go out to his family and friends and everyone here at FAOL. Tight lines Bassman.
Ben.
I would be honored to get in this swap in Memory Of John ( Bassman ) Eaton. Never met him but like most of you I was in many swaps with him, and considered him a friend.
I just started tying up some red over white Clousers for his Bass Swap so I will get one in the mail in the next couple of days.
I am so very sorry to hear of John’s passing. Although we never met, I feel that I have lost a friend. I will be sending something. It will be on it’s way very shortly. My condolences go out to his family and many, many friends.
Chuck
Blue,
John was a True Friend, Though I never met Him,
I feel like a part of me is missing.
I Will tie a 32 Para Trico.
Prayer’s will be going out for his Family, And His FAOL Family.
Bill
