BigBendFishing.Net Phly Swap II

Post by Chalk »

Seemed to be some interest in another fly swap, so here we go

Rules of engagement:
1. Number of participants - no limit, but the sign up date ends on 01/30/09 midnight
2. Mail X number of flies in package suitable for return mail
3. Include return postage to your address
4. Deadline for submitting flies is 02/28/09
5. Tied by the person, no store bought flies
6. All flies must be the same, so if 12 people sign up and your tying clousers, you send 12 clousers. One fly for yourself, it's easier on the person mailing out lots of flies. 12 groups of the same flies are easier to manage, so send one for yourself.

Taxonomic specialization - None, this is a free for all, tie what you want.

To summarize - You sign up, you tie X number of flies, mail or hand deliver to me, in a shipping container with return postage (even if you hand deliver)...when I receive all entries...all flies one from each participant will be sent out to each participant.

I think I might make this a quarterly event - it's good to make yourself tie sometimes.

Mail the flies to me - I will post my address after the sign up closing.

Players:
1. Chalk - Topwater - Rattlesnake

Good deal

Here is what I'm tying - Rattlesnake (it has a rattle)....more or less a deer hair toad. I foresee some in pink on a Gamakatsu SC17 1/0 -3/0 for a little Mega action :smt028

Probably no more than at a yakking party.

Uh...back to the fly swap. I'm in - haven't decided what to tie but I'm leaning toward the "Stealth Bomber":
