Ok the rules will be simple. Flies have to be in my hands by Nov 15th. I will have them in the return mail by Nov 18. All wrapped and ready for Christmas morning. You can’t open them until Christmas morning. Any type fly, but try to make it your best. Let’s see 12 Tyers counting me, so send 12 flies in all. Package them in a secure box fly or altoids, be much easier to wrap for me. Needed self addressed return evelope, return postage. I’ll be tying a deerhair mouse. Oh yes! There will be prizes, don’t know how many, but they will be good. I don’t even know what they will be awarded for. My wife and mother in law will decide that. They are highly qualified for the job, they don’t tie.
Sign up ends on Sept 30 or when I have 11 more swappers. This should be a great swap. Dan Gober
International swappers I’ll pick up the return postage. That will take care of exchange rates.

12 flies by November 15, in my hands, I will sort wrap and mail them on November 22. These date will not change, except if all flies are in I will return them early. Now I’ve got to figure out some great prizes.

Bassman your in. Any fly you want to tie is ok. I sense a trip to Gander Mountain will be in order for this swap. Just promise not to open before Cristmas. dan
I have a few flies of yours in my collection so your mouse will be a welcome addition. I also like to tie deer hair mice, they are blast to tie and always makes your heart stop when a big ol bucketmouth explodes on one :shock:
Count me in. I’ll decide what I’ll tie in the next few days. Thinking some type of bucktail streamer, or possibly something with spun deer hair. It’ll be of my own creation for the holidays.
Thanks for joining HMD, bdesavage, Night Angler, and Sirron. Seeing some familar faces, some new, the swap is starting to roll. Three spaces left, don’t miss out. dan
Ok, I’ll sign up. I think I was going to tie one of my custom crawdads, but I’ve done those enough and I think most of you have one already. List me as tbd for now and I’ll come up with something different.
