January 2010 Swap of the Month

All about flies Fly Swaps
1

Wow! Christmas is over. The New Year is almost here. So, its time for the fly of the month for 2010 to start up!

January’s fly – your choice of any big ol’ bottom dredging nymph you care to tie. Due to me by the end of January. Please include toe tags. All the usual stuff. Please let me know what you’re going to tie.

The folks who signed up for 2010 are listed below. I’d like to follow that listing in terms of who will be choosing the theme for each month. So, DManley will choose for February, sanctyphillia for March, etc. You may also want to host that month. If you don’t want to host then I’ll do it.

Let’s rock ‘n’ roll!!
