Swap of the month - January

All about flies Fly Swaps
1

I’m posting this early because bassman responded and we have everything ready for the January swap.
This month’s theme is terrestrials. Bassman has decided to host for the month, so tie your flies and get them in to John sometime in January. Get with bassman for shipping info.
You have extra time this month for tying your flies, so lets see some beauties, eh? :smile: And remember, don’t be late. January is too soon to lose your spot in the swap.

If you want to sign up for this swap, realize this is a monthly swap, and signing up sets you up for a series of 12 swaps throughout the year. See the prior post on the swap of the month for 2009 for more details.

There are still 2 spots left in this one. but remember that You are commiting to a swap each month when you join in on this one. This gives each of you a chance to tie many different patterns through out the year. If you just tie a couple of flies a day you would have no problem fullfilling the commitment to this swap in a week each month. John

You have me down for tyoing a Green Leaf Hopper. That’s what judbach is tying. I was going to do something like a Chernobyle Ant, but there doesn’t seem to be many spiders in this swap, so how about a Black Pom-Pom Spider?
