Second Annual Do not open until Christmas swap now full

Yes I borrowed the Idea from Ian short. This year I’d like to open the swap to 24 swappers. Due date to have the flies to me November 9th. I will have the flies back in the mail by Nov 12th. These dates will only be change if a serious problem comes up. Send flies in a box that will protect the flies but also can be wrapped for Christmas. You have to promise not to open your flies until Christmas morning. Flies, tie any fly that you would like to receive in a Christmas package. I’m planning a deerhair creation, if you want I’ll do another mouse. Maybe a Christmas Mouse. To get some international favor to the swap. I’ll pick up the return postage for any swapper who lives outside the US. Last day to sign up for this swap will be Sept 1st. I know christmas is way off but time flies when you are having fun.

I like the idea of everyones flies being a surprise. so there is no need to post what fly you plan on tying. I’ll post my address when the swap closes.

My mail address is Dan Gober

Danny,

I’m in. I’d like to tie one of my current favorite flies, an Olive Klinkhammer. I might have FUBARed the spelling but I’ll get on the flies. Thanks! When you get the swap filled send me your mailing address info and we’ll make this happen. At least this way I know I’ll have a present to open. Thanks in advance.

Danny I would like to get in again this year if I can. Will have to decide what to tie later. Thanks John

Danny,
I’m up for this again. Last year’s was great. Pattern TBD.
Chuck

may el JZ’o enter with a partridge and el oarngeo?

Can I get in? If I have to name my fly, then it won’t be a surprise at Christmas. I’ll just promise it won’t be a Wooley Bugger.

Danny,
Count me in again for this year.
I’ll do a #26 or so Parachute something or other.
Bill

I’d like in, too…and I’m also going to go with Gigmaster…and make it a surprise :lol: if I can…

count me in. SURPRISE, no wooley bugger. will have some red some white.

Danny,
I think that I will go with the others and make it a surprise.
Let’s just say it will be some sort of a caddis.
Chuck

hehe, i might tie some atlantics if i find some time, or a spey, i am not sure yet… :slight_smile: it might be a wee bit spendy… but it’s christmas!

COunt me in on this one Danny your last Christmas Swap was great. I’ll figure out something interesting to tie and let you know what I’ll tie. Oh wait maybe it will be better as a surprise.

I would like in with bluegill fly.

i would like in with a jiggin’ shad. it should be suprisey enough because i dont think many of you know what that is.

I’ll join! I’ll have to think about my entry…I’ll post it in a day or two.

I’ve posted a list of the first 12 swappers. Thanks for joining the swap. It’s good to have repeat swappers. Last years was a good swap. My totally unqualified judges are looking forward to awarding prizes. So it looks like I’ll have to figure out some good ones. Don’t worry they choose for reasons not connected to tying skill.

Actually, i am not going to do a partridge and oarnge, i will make it a suprise :slight_smile:

Open to 24 swappers? In that case, I guess I’d like to be lucky number 13. I’ll be tying a :shock: fly! Sounds like a lot of fun!

Vulture6 you are in. Welcome to the swap

For some reason my mind is not working well today. I am assuming we are tying 24 flies each. Sorry for my confusion. John
