All about flies Fly Swaps

Hi all!
The March Brown is a great searching pattern; trout love them, I can see them,and they are effective here in central Pa for almost 4 weeks!

There are quite a few ways to tye this fly: standard catskill, parachute, comparadun, Proper’s perfect dun style, etc…and no one can seem to agree on the body color!

So, here’s the plan.
Tye up the eastern march brown pattern which WORKS for you!
If someone signs up to tye a parachute MB, for example, and your killer pattern is a parachute, send it in anyway! No two people see this bug in exactly the same way !

Sign up deadline is Valentines day, Feb. 14th.
Flies should be in the mail by April Fools day(!), April 1st. That should give everyone plenty of time to tye up a pile of their favorite eastern march brown pattern.

This swap is limited to 8 tyers

  1. Black Gnat- Proper’s perfect Dun March Brown
    2.GT2FLY-Traditional Dry March Brown
  2. Turk- TBA
  3. krilroy- TBA
  4. mr. blur-MB wet fly
  5. DianeID- MB nymph
  6. Mike Harsh- MB spider
  7. Feenon-MB wet fly(the English version)

The usual rules apply.
Send me a PM and ill send you a mailing address
I look forward to hosting this swap!

Best,
Black Gnat
