All about flies Fly Swaps

***** THIS SWAP IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED *****

Found this concept on another board and got the OK to use. So here goes:

How about a safety pin fly swap…?

Any pattern you want, just tie it on a safety pin. Reply if interested, then send one (1) fly-on-a-safety-pin by 15 Jan 05. I will randomize the collection and send you a fly pin from another tyer. One safety pin fly submitted, one safety pin fly (not your own) in return. Display it on your favorite hat, fishing vest, or shirt collar.

Sign-up deadline:12-13-2004
Suspense: 15 Jan 05
Objective: 10 Tyers.

Heres an example:
