I have never been involved in a fly swap and would love to try one. Everyone on here that I can find looks to be full or the sign up date has expired. Any suggestions?
CKhanna, welcome to FAOL, the most helpful and best site on the internet.
Just watch for the next swap to startup. They startup very often. Just let the Swapmeister know you want to join in and what you want to tie. I am sure they well welcome you. In the mean time sit back explore the site. You will find a lot that you will learn and enjoy. John
I’ll make you an offer. I’m hosting one and tying for 2 and am willing to give up something to make space for a new interested participant. I haven’t started tying for bassman’s terrestrial swap yet, so if he doesn’t mind and you are interested, I’ll offer you my spot in that one. You have until mid-September to tie something up for it.
Not a problem ol’blue it is your decesion. You and CKhanna please let me know what you decide. John
That is entirely up to the two of you. I hate to bump you out of a swap just because it is my first time.
Not a problem with me at all ol’blue and I are in a lot of swaps together. If some of the tiers had not already sent there flies in I would just add you in. John
Well I appretiate it. I am excited to try it out. I guess I need to decide on a fly that has not already been picked.
It is your spot. I have 2 others going, and would hate to be in 3 when we have guys who can’t find a swap to be in. I like seeing more guys get involved. It benefits everyone IMO. I’m sure I’ll see both of you in more swaps in the future. I’ll catch your next one, bassman. We seem to tie alot of flies for the same swaps.
CKhanna just go to the Terrestrial Swap Post. You can read all the info there on what is required and the dates involved. I will add you in since I am sure ol’blue has given you his spot. Thanks ol’blue and I am sure we will be in many more swaps together. It is always nice to get new folks in swaps. John
Thanks ol’ blue. I am sure I will be in a position to return the gesture some day.
I will send my fly information in alittle while to you Bassman.
That will be great CK. Thanks again John
Where you get it???
wigglebug swap is open
There are still a couple of spots open in the NFL Swap. This is a real fun swap. John
I’ll be organizing one come mid fall. Just have some trips to get out of the way before I have time to organize a swap. Heading up north on a trout and grayling trip, and then a pike trip before ice up. Been fishing 4-6 lakes a week around here and been too busy to tie for many swaps. Fishings been great around hear since the summer heat broke.
I’m not sure what my swap will be but am thinking on doing a pike fly/large streamer/large bass fly swap. COuld be pretty interesting.
