Swap of the month group

All about flies Fly Swaps
1

Would anyone be interested in signing up for a swap of the month? I see this as having a single signup, and a different theme every month of the year with flies being due by the end of each month. Sign up for this one would be a commitment for the rest of 08, and I would limit this to a maximum of 10 tyers. Or perhaps a 3 month trial would be better to start with. I’m still working out details, but would appreciate thoughts/ideas on this one as well as if it is something you would consider joining into.
Monthly themes can go anywhere we want, but nymph, dry, warmwater might be a good way to get started.

Sounds like a good idea to me. John

I,m in. Dan Gober This could be a great way to improve my tying.

Would you rather see a 3 month trial, or finish out 08?

I like the idea of finishing out 08. It would be a real nice challange and a good learning experience. Just my 2 cents. John

I’ll go ahead and set it up.

This signup is for a monthly swap that will take place every month from now until the end of 08. By signing up for this one, you will have to commit to tieing for a swap every month.

READ THIS BEFORE SIGNING UP: Do not sign up if you cannot fulfill your part of these swaps. Your flies have to be on time every month, and you have to complete every swap in the series. There will be a total of 8 spots for this series, and if you default on a swap or produce late flies without a genuinely acceptable reason, your spot will be offered to someone else to fill. I’ve been lenient on deadlines in the past, but because this is a series, I am going to be much more strict on this one.

Standard rules apply. Send your toetagged flies in a crush proof container with return packaging and postage. NO METERED MAIL! I don’t require extras or other goodies.

If the swap fills and you want in, go ahead and put your name in, and I’ll keep a alternate list in case we have drop outs.

We are going to start with an easy July theme because the month is partially over already. July will be nymphs. Everyone needs to send 8 in to me by the end of July. I will announce the August theme during the last week of July.
