my first swap of the season...

All about flies Fly Swaps
1

will be the adams. or your variations thereof.

ak recently claimed it’s the world’s greatest fly, right? I’ve been tying/fishing these a lot over the summer and they work well. surprise?

anyways standard procedures will be rigidly followed, which means, of course, you won’t be late. and you will email me at mgjaej@yahoo.com after signing up so I can add yer email address to my book, as all swap communication from my end will be handled through email and save the board from some clutter.

those of you who swapped with me in the past know what to expect and I hope that you’ll sign up and play along.

let’s make it an even bakers dozen w/ 12 swappers plus myself. tyers submit 13 flies and will receive one of their own back for a complete set of swap flies. I’ll make the deadline a generous 6 weeks w/ flies due to me by 15 november.

I look forward to your contributions.

we are half full. 6 spots left.
the roster’s looking good. I know I can count on these guys and you can too.

what the hell am I supposed to call you 3kyGk2? kentucky geek? or kentucky greek? or what? don’t forget to email me so I can add you to my address book.

those of you who’ve been in my swaps before need not do this unless you’ve changed accounts.

I’ve tied a half dozen #18 p adams this evening. that’s one of the patterns you’ll be getting from my vise. I like 'em. don’t much cotton to tying parachute flies though.

I should try to whisper in badbug’s ear before this fills too.

Mike said he was ‘out’ for a couple of days, but I’m sure he’ll be back soon to reply and set up straight. I could make it 14 if need be.
