All about flies Fly Swaps

Folks, this one will be a little different. You won’t get anything back as far as flies, but you will get the satisfaction of helping someone else out who is having a tough time. Check here first for details:

I’m looking for anyone interested in helping out a fellow flyfisherman who lost almost anything in a fire and has helped others in the past. Tie 6 flies of any pattern you like (and you can mix sizes) and send them in to me. I will package them in a new flybox, and then send them to Betty Hiner to give to him. Sign up here so we won’t mix patterns. I understand he fishes for anything and everything, so patterns are wide open. Please have flies to me by May 15. And as an added bonus, you all finally get to see me host a swap where I don’t require toe tags or return postage.
I will start up by offering my yellow and black bluegill fly, as well as some ray charles. Thanks in advance.

You are both in. And for clarification, everyone doesn’t have to sign up for 2 patterns, but thanks to those who do. Also, I put a due date in the top post. Hope that doesn’t crimp anyone’s participation.

Looking at the collection so far, to best complement it I think I would like to contribute 6 deer hair emergers and 6 woolley buggers as a memento from Oz.
