THANKS AGAIN GUYS FOR MAKING MY FIRST SWAP A GOOD ONE,


TY

[Daryle Holmstrom]

I'd jump all over that, what did you have in mine.

Daryle

[tythetier]

Caddis, Foam Fly, What Ever.

Things Are Looking Kinda Grim As Of Right Now..

Oh Well, Nothing Else Me And You Could Swap A Couple Each.


Ty

[I 1ur|<0r J00]

Any Idea on dates? # patterns?

[Jason]

I may have to do this as my first swap.

I can only do one fly decently so if anyone wants some EHC, I am in.

[tythetier]

I Was Gonna Wait A Week (or Until Eight Or Nine People) Showed Up And Then Set A Time. Just Do A Single Pattern, No Specifics, But It Has To Be Bigger Than Size 16.

I Just Thought Of This Swap As I Was Trying To Tie On A Sz 18 The Other Day And I Was Having A Hell Of A Time.

So Any Larger Pattern Prefer Trout But I Guess Steelie Flies Are Fine Too If You Want, They Should Be Proven Patterns That Have Caught Fish For You In The Past. Foam Flies Are Fine, I Have Yet To Tie Any Of Those Or Fished Them, But They Are Kinda Hard To Make Small So They Can Be Included.

First Timers Are Welcome To Join As Well.

So Far We Have Daryle And Jason. Room For Six Or Seven More.

[I 1ur|<0r J00]

Ok, I'm good for a size 16 Caddis if that's cool. Never fished any dries bigger that I'd say is a proven "trout" slayer.

I'd be willing to do more than one pattern as well if you all decide to go that direction. :cool:

[tythetier]

Alright The Cyborg (sorry, I Just Dont Get Your Name So You Have Earned The Name Cyborg. Nothing Towards You It Just Looks Like Computer Talk Or Somthing) Is In.

Any One Else????

5 Or 6 More Spots......

[I 1ur|<0r J00]

:rofl: no problem Georgsama :rofl: Cyborg will work.

[James Mello]

If the date isn't too soon, then I'll be in :)

[tythetier]

Dont Worry About The Date, It Is Not Too Soon. We Will Get That Ironed Out Later.

You Can Make Fun Of Me, But Dont Make Fun Of My Camel!!!

Ehh..so This Swap Might Get Filled Yet.


Ty

[tythetier]

Alright!! Everyone Who Wants In, Give Me The Word, And We Will Close It Out On Tuesday Morning. We Will Go With Everyone Who Wants In (keeping In Mind Who All Was Thinking About It), And We Will Just Go With The Numbers We Get.


Ty

[I 1ur|<0r J00]

Sounds good, count me in. I got started tyin last night :thumb: Still 1 pattern each?

[tythetier]

Yep! One Pattern!!

[Sloan Craven]

I'll jump in if the number of participants is still small.

[hedburner]

I'll have a go at this one. I can't see crap even with trifocals, hardly ever fish dry's but I've been wanting to tie up some stimulators to try on searuns. So that's what it'll be maybe somewhere around a 8 or 10.

[Daryle Holmstrom]

I'll have a go at this one. I can't see crap even with trifocals,


Me Too, tri focals, I'm trying the para loop technique. Just have to find some dun hackle.

Daryle

[tythetier]

Cool, I might hone my work on terrrestrials.

[tythetier]

:thumb: I Am Tossed Up Between My Goose Lake Stink Bug, Or Just A Para Post Bwo That I Do Up.

I Dunno Why I Decided To Do Dry Flies. Just Dont Sit Down To Do To Many Of Those At One Time.


Once Again, No Specific Pattern Just A Dry Fly Of The Larger Variety.

Foam Flies Are Welcome, As Are First Time Swapers. If You Are A First Time Swaper, Please Read Up On The Rules That Are Posted. Anybody That Dosnt Send Return Postage...I Will Divy Your Flies Up With The Ones That Did :cool: . A LITTLE HARSH, COME ON, I JUST GOT MARRIED, I DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO SHIP FLIES TO ALL CORNERS OF THE STATE. :confused:

This Is My First Time Leading On A Swap (and Only The Second Swap I Will Be In), So If There Is Somthing I Need To OR AM FORGETTING Do Let Me Know, I ACCEPT ADVICE WELL.


THANKS FOR MAKING MY FIRST SWAP A GOOD ONE GUYS :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

[Ned Wright]

Hello Blind Man,

Count me in. I have enough sz 12 dry fly hooks to choke a boa constrictor.

Ned

[Cameron Derbyshire]

Count me in. I'll tie up some October caddis nymphs, mayfly nymphs, or larger ant patterns for small streams.

[FishyBusiness]

I'm in. Would people prefer a Hex pattern or a good Yakima pattern?

[tythetier]

One More Thing..would Anybody That Has A Digi. Camera Be Willing To Take The Picture Of All Our Flies?? I Am Still Dragging My Knuckles And Dont Have One Yet. If Not, I Could Always Take One With My 35mm And Have My Mom Put The Pics Onto Disc.


Thanks,
Ty

[Cameron Derbyshire]

I'd be glad to take the photos.

[tythetier]

Cool! Alright We Have The Swap Photographer Then. Thanks Cameron!!

[Cameron Derbyshire]

And as the infomercials go, "... we'll include not one, not two, but three" swap flies "for the price of only" entering this swap.

I've been busy tying this Friday, so I opted to include these when I send mine out:

General caddis pupae

I Thumbed Through Your Gallery, You Got Some Pretty Bad A$$ Flies Tied Up. Those Spey Flies Must Take You Forever And A Day To Tie Up.


Alright Mine Are All Tied Up Too! Did Them Saturday Night While Linda Was Playing Super Monkey Ball On Ps2. Its Amazing How Much Tying You Can Get Done When The Wife Is Distraced By Video Games.


Ty

[Sloan Craven]
