Wet fly/soft hackle swap?

All about flies Fly Swaps

EDIT: this swap is a go! See page 2 for details if you’ve expressed interest.

Would there be any interest in a soft hackle/wet swap? Spiders, bumbles, schwapf, rolled wing wets, slip wing wets, and the like is what I was thinking…

THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL SIGN-UP! Just feeling the waters as this is “fishing season” not necessarily “swap time”. I’m thinking a half dozen or so people… Keep it small and fairly quick.

Let me know what you think! This would be my first time running a swap.
