Another swap Idea popped into my head, why not a trout streamer swap. Classic patterns or your creation If it’s for trout lets swap it. Lets limit this one to 12 tyers including myself.

The usuall swap rules apply:
toe tags with the hook size, fly name, and FAOL name, email, and anything else you wish to put on your tags
Box large enough for the flies you will recieve.
One fly for each of the other swappers.
Return Postage/ money to cover your return Shipping from Canada. CD jewel cases and similar thin cases can be shipped for roughly $2.50, thicker boxes over 3/4 inches thick (Altoids tins do not fit the slot they use for pricing so cost about $5.00) are roughly $5.00 to ship to the USA.
Signup date Feb 27th, Flies due to me by April 15th

Any further questions regarding swaps in general see the sticky. Also if you are an International swapper do not forget to fill out the appropriate customs tags/ customs declaration (check gift no value if a value is needed) Questions regarding these declaration stickers can be answered by your local post office.
Sounds great. THe Black ghost is a really good looking fly. I’d like to tie some grey ghosts sometime , but I lack the pheasent feathers I need for it. I’ll pick up a nice Lady Amythest skin sometime and I’ll get to them someday.
SOunds good, Thanks for joining. This should be a grat swap, I mostly fish streamer patterns for trout, but also fish alot of wets and leech patterns as well.
I need to be tying saltwater flies for my new foes in the Coastal Bend of Texas, but I can’t get motivated. Maybe this will be a good transition. Sign me up for the Grey Ghost.
Warmest regards,
Adam
P.S.
I don’t quite understand the return postage sizing issue.
