Being number 7 on the list its my turn to announce a new swap.
I was thinking off a CdC-swap. Let’s do a swap using CdC feathers, whatever pattern you like! Dries, wets, nymphs, streamers, whatever.
Usual swaprules apply. Due date the end off the month, 7-31st. The Swap will be hosted by John R because I’m a continental and yours and mine costs for posting would be huge!!
Let’s do this! I’m curious to see your creations!!

John,
When You are at a Fish-In and the Arthritis in Your shoulder’s driving you nutz, and You manage to pull the muscle over Your left shoulder blade, so You can’t cast what else are Ya gonna do.
Except talk and tie
OK… finished. This Turkey biot BWO CDC will NOT be added to my Top Ten Favorite Flies to Tie list unless you all report large trout jumping out of the water and snatching it from your fingers while tying it to the tippit. You may have to look hard but there is a bit of CDC underwing. Will get them in the mail in the next couple of days.
Sorry for the delay in sending the flies. I am waiting on an order for some more materials to complete this run. They should be here next week, then I’ll knock 'em out and mail 'em
