Classic Streamers Swap

Andy_B · December 13, 2005, 1:37pm

Classic Streamers is my second favorite fly to fish and tie. I generally do not except Woolly Buggers in this swap but this year I will make an exception for a pattern that truly has become a classic that takes a vast amount of fish. This swap will be open to 13 tiers. The sign up dead line will be December 31, 2005. Flies will be due to my house no later the February 14, 2006. When signing up please provide me your pattern or provide it to me as soon as possible after signing up. I will post my address when the swap fills or the sign up dead line has come and gone. Please toe tag all your flies so every one in the swap will know what pattern it is and tied by whom. This is the third year in a row for this swap and the past two have been fun and interesting. This swap is open to all levels of tiers. The swap far as entering is on a first come first serve basis.

					Thank You
					 Andy B

P.S If the swap is full each tyer will have to tie a total of 12 flies of the pattern they chose.

Andy, I would love to get in here and I assure you the flies will be sent in plenty of time to make the deadline. I will let you know the pattern a.s.a.p.

I will tie a red fox squirell streamer that is a variation of a classic style streamer.

Andy, RW here,

I’ll fill in the last slot with a Chappie if I haven’t miscalculated the number of tyers. Originally a western wet fly for steelies, but tied in small streamer size for trout it is a killer on our eastern brookies.

Later, RW

Leo C and wet fly guy, your both in the swap. welcome aboard.

RW you are right you are the last spot to make this a full swap. Sounds like an intersting pattern. Have to try it at the fish in 06. Welcome aboard as always.
