This swap is a “Macgyver” swap (remember the TV show) .The idea is to make use of materials around your home that normally would not be used for flies(or not intended for fly tying).Example - bead chain , rubber bands , dog hair (dubbing) , grandmas yarn , etc. You are allowed to used a hook and thread only. Try to be creative and use new materials to create a usable fly of any size , type or pattern.
This is my first time hosting a swap .I have participated in 3 swaps to date(just mailed off swap#3).
Signup is open until September 28 or until full and flies are due by October 15.
Swap has 10 spots open .
Your 10 flies should be to me no later then October15 .
~All late flies will be returned to sender ~
Please include a toe tag with Faol name and pattern -DONOT include recipe.Post your recipe here once everyone has received their flies and had a couple days to try to figure out the materials used.
Also include return postage (stamps preferred) in a crush proof container along with your return address.
I think it would be fun to post the fly recipes after the swap is completed or some such thing. What a blast trying to figure out what people used! Thanks for hosting.
Oh, what the heck. I’m in. I was going to wait a while to give everyone a chance to join in on this one, but I gotta support a new swap host.
JRA already knows one of my secret ingrdients, but I’m sure he won’t tell…
