Too Simple swap

All about flies Fly Swaps

Attention new tiers and those wanting to learn easy but effective patterns!

I really enjoyed the last couple of Too Simple Swaps, so I’m going to host another. This is my favorite theme I’ve done so far. We’ll need 10 tyers to each sign up for one of the Too Simple patterns. These are some of Al’s simple but effective patterns, and can be tied in pretty short order. Pick your pattern when you sign up. 1 person for each pattern. See the signup list below to see what is left. Here is where you can find the pattern for each entry:

Sign up deadline will be April 10 or whenever the swap fills; flies should be to me by no later than May 7. Tie them early if you need to, but don’t be late. If they aren’t on time, it isn’t fair to the other swappers, and I will return them to you unless you coordinate in advance (I can make exceptions for reasonable delays due to unforeseen circumstances). As always, send your flies in a crushproof container (with your name and addy on it), with return packaging and postage (no metered mail). Make sure all of your flies are toetagged with at least your username and pattern name on them. And also, as always, I do not expect extra goodies or flies–I do this because I like it.

I will take the last pattern left. If you have done one of these before, please consider doing a different pattern this time.

Old Blue

Put me down for the TS Bunny Emerger.
No punch yarn but I have some similar buggy yarn that will knock your socks off.

Deserttrout

13

I’ll take the Mayfly Dry if there’s room left…

14

Looks like this swap might be full. I better start tying my EHCs

15

Yep, it looks that way, but if someone was really excited about tying the TSEBBM, I’d let them do it and tie something else for bonus material. Otherwise, I’ll get some snowshoe and get tying on it.

Everyone should have a PM with shipping info now.

16

Just finished up tying the EHC what a great looking fly. So simple I decided to take it up to Cabelas Monday evening. We have a beginners fly tying class with a lot of kids and adults. I will be teaching the kids how to tie this pattern. I think they are gonna love it.

I will get the flies in the mail in the next day or 2. Please let me know when you get them.

17

ol blue, i’d like to try the tsebbm (or whatever it is) if you want to do a bonus pattern. have some free time this coming week to get those tied up. let me know either way.

18

You are in. I’ll host and throw some punch yarn in for everyone.

scubatim,

Check them all out. Wonder patterns, EASY to tie, and fish like 'em! It doesn’t get any better than that. :smiley:
