Its time - we need to do a fly swap before Xmas - who's in?

Rules of engagement:
1. Number of participants - no limit, but the sign up date ends on 10/31/09 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 11/30/09
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.

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

Players:
1. Chalk
2. Barhopr
3. sanblaslayer
4. hmaadd29
5. Terrier
6. FHC
7. Flanders

Chalk, Flanders those looking good ! I esp like that black/purple. I've been tying some wooly boogers in blk/purple on size 10 and 12 hooks..Using em for fresh water trout...In fact all my tying has been for trout the past several months.
to improve your tying skills you oughta start tying down in the 18-22 hook range..Sure make a clouser easier to tie..Heading back to Arkansas White river next week to try some on those huge browns...Reports saying they're moving into shallow water to spawn...
