Naw! tie’em all …if we don’t need them we can use them for other swaps
:lol:
The fly I’ll be tying is plastic bead caddis pupa
I agree with HCMiller, but it would sure be nice to see this swap fill up, I think everyone would have a lot of fun with this one. It would be nice to have a set of flies from all the states and countries. I have mine a 3rd of the way done.
To other tiers that are considering this swap, jump in I know you will all have fun with this one. John
This is an awesome idea. I’m in for a New Mexico.

hehehe i love how it says “ONLY 54 spots left” … :lol:
PM sent to NukeMaster.
My wife saw the “54 spots left” in passing today also. She thinks we are all crazy. 
I would love to see all of the spots fill, but we’ll just have to see how it goes. I haven’t tied any yet. I spent the afternoon tying the last of the flies for the MO FishIn. I finally reached a point where I had to say if what I have won’t catch fish, it isn’t the tackle’s fault.
What happens if two people from the same state want in? Can it be regional (say southwest? and thereby take a bordering state) or can we just wait and tie a pattern that is common from a state or territory that doesn’t fill???
I was thinking that I’ve been busy and didn’t know if I wanted to commit this soon…unfortunately or fortunately ibrb in for the Great State of CAL…
What do you think?..I’m sure others that might be in the same position???
Oh and 65 flies for a swap…come on we can add some territories and go for an even 100 … it’s not that many more :lol:
i was thinking the same thing, and id ask ol blue first but you could probably sign up for a fly for a state bordering youre own because i imagine like for virginia a fly that works great in northern Virginia will also work well in maryland… just my thoughts. id ask ol blue first though if you could do that.
I don’t have a problem with signing up for another state and tying a fly that has worked for you there. As long as it is accurate. Tying a crackleback or a chamois worm to represent the Missouri trout parks would be a good example. No salt water streamers for Montana or anything like that. I will fall back to the assumption of honorable intentions by everyone here since my area of expertise is pretty well limited to, uh, nothing. :lol: 
If we have a good alternative, especially later in signups, I will be more than happy to substitute catagories to fill up also. For example, we could have both warm water and trout flies from one state to replace a state or province that doesn’t sign up. But let’s not go there until late in the signups.
Blue I am there, my choices are, in order of preference are:
Vermont
New York
Massachusetts
I will take any that has not beem claimed. Great swap Go Blue!

[/url:e9a0a] (26 to 65 is a big jump for me. I ran out of fingers, toes and teeth. Maybe next year! That’s all I really have to say about that)
Blaiseboy,
You are in for Vermont. Welcome, and a PM is heading your way.
Greg
We are 1/5 of the way there!
:lol: :lol: :lol: I’ll wait a while and see what fills in and whats left…if there’s a pacific northwest state I’ll fill in although I know that some of my flies that I’ve previously sent out have worked in other states…i.e. Prism Stimulator…
I’ll let you know…oh and btw 26 to 65 to 100 is huge “65” is a mega monster swap…100 that’s just plain crazy…
You’re welcome in the swap whenever you decide to go for it. No pressure, though. :lol:
Ol’Blue…
Now this is a BIG SWAP…
Im in for Missouri… I’ll do a infamous zebra midge (black)… size 20
Just in time for the winter midge hatches…LOL
Leonard…
A little change of pattern I’m going to tie. It’s going to be the “Plastic Bead Caddis Pupa”. I do not have enough material for the fly I wanted to tie at first.
Ol" Blue this is a terrific Idea. I would like to get in on this one I live in southern Ill. but mostly fish in Missouri and therefore I usually only tie for fishing in Missouri. I will tie either a blonde mohair leech or crackleback. If I take the Mo. spot it would leave Illinios open possibly for someone who fishes more in Illinios. I,ll let you make the call.
CRoyally
Well it looks like Night Angler1 beat me to the punch and made the call for us so I will take Illinios. By the way great call with the zebra midge Night Angler1.
Give me some time on the pattern.
CRoyally
You are both in. PMs sent.
I’m heading out the door in a couple of minutes for the Fish In. I’ll be back on Wednesday.
Greg
Put me down for Alberta. I’m keeping my number of swaps down due to my new job and move, but the due date is feasible for this one. I’ll tie a prince nymph for this one.
-HMD
ol blue;
If it is still open, please sign me up for Nebraska.
Since I have about 600 size 12 hooks, that is the size, but I will have to think about the pattern a bit.
Great Idea!
Thanks,
Don

I am going to tie one of my favorites. A good batch of SHWAPF flies in size 12. (They’ll be on wet hooks, but you can fish them however you feel.)
