Warmwater flybox filler swap

All about flies Fly Swaps
1

This swap is intended to produce a set a flies that will take care of a flyfisherman in most warm water settings. Please sign up for a pattern that will correspond with any available species listed. That way we won’t have all bluegill, or all bass flies. Find an open spot, and post that you want it. You will also see that there are 3 open spots. If you want to submit a fly for another species, or the one you want is filled, the extra 3 are up for grabs.

I’ll sign up for the first spot. I want panfish and am tying crappie candy.

Standard rules apply. Signups are open until 4/15 or until the swap fills. Flies will be due to me no later than 5/01. Don’t sign up if you can’t meet the deadline. Send your 12 toetagged flies to me in a crushproof package along with return packaging and postage (no metered mail, please). As with most warm water swaps, and altoids tin probably won’t work for this one, but you can try if you like. Please include your FAOL user name and pattern name on the toetag at a minimum. And please either include a recipe on the tag or post it here on the swap thread.

ol’ blue I would like to sign up for one of the bass spots. I am thinking on what fly to tie, it is between a clouser, chili pepper, or a chili demon. I had talked to Tony Spezio at the sowbug this year, and he tied the chili demon for me. Tony had said that the chili demon was his smallmouth fly of choice.
Thanks.

ol’ blue,
I’ll take a Pike spot. Pattern TBA tonight, but something in the 6" range for sure.

Looks like a fun swap. Great idea for the mixed species limits.

I just changed my Pike pattern to the most awesome movment I have ever sen in a clouser. It will still be in the 6"+ range but will be much more awesome. Oh yeah my carp pattern will be a headstand.
