With winter upon us our thoughts are turning to Spring and getting back on the water again. My first trip is usually to a lake for the big browns cruising the shoreline. With that in mind I decided to have a still water swap. what is your favorite go to fly for lakes and ponds.
This is open to 12 tiers and myself. Signup by Dec 15th and flies to me by Jan 15th. All the usuall applies ship in sturdy container with return postage in stamps only, that type of thing any questions pm me. this is my first as a swapmaster so bear with me.
this swap is open to any fly used in still water for any type of fish be it bass, crappie, whatever.
I wanna play with a Green Meanie – if that fits the criteria. My goal is to tie a batch and it seems I need a swap to do so, and my nephew says he’s caught trout on 'em. That’s as close to trout fishing as it gets in this family, so like I said, if my selection fits the criteria of your swap I’d be honored to be included. If it doesn’t, you won’t hurt my feelings by not accepting. Okay? JGW
hb,
I’m pretty sure I will be able to participate, however, I’m changing locations in a couple of weeks but should be up and running before the 15th. Don’t hold a spot for me but if possible I’d like to reserve the Booby Nymph as my tie if you don’t fill before I know???..and absolutely no problem if someone wants that fly before I can commit…
Bouncing this one back up. I know there are other tiers that would like to get in this swap. I beleive it will be a fun swap with some great flies. John
I shouldn’t be joining any more swaps right now but, count me in with a rabbit fur blood leech. I’ll probably do them in size 10 but I do tie them size 8-14.
Thanks for hosting this swap. I was actually thinking about hosting a stillwater swap myself later in the winter. Who know might still do it, I have a few swap ideas that will probably be posted in the new year.
Bassman Thanks for all the info on your site. Checked my swap to make sure I have everything if I missed something let me know if you wouldn’t mind. This is a bad time of year with all the holidays for a swap but what the hey it will work :lol: Thanks for your support it is appreciated.
Harleybob I am far from being an expert on swaps, but I sure do like them. I learn a lot from them. As far as I can see you are doing perfectly. Also thanks for visiting my site. By the way I put my flies in the mail to you yesterday. I included some extra’s for you. I do not include a fly to be sent back to me. Thanks again for letting me in this one. John
