All leeches must be size 12 or smaller and should not be longer than an inch in length.
I've been fishing micro leeches like crazy in lakes and they far out produce just about anything I use. I tend to use scud or jig hooks with tungsten beads and hang them under indicators and my patterns will match that theme, but your welcome to tie whatever.
Number of tiers and flies depends on the interest as does the due date (micro leeches work year long).
Otherwise all other rules apply, although to be honest I don't need you to toe tag your flies, we can all check the swap photos to find out who tied what.

Mailed today. I tied #14 BMW's (Brian's Marabou Wigglers). I'll add the recipe & a link to Brian Chan's YouTube tying video to Ira's Swap Conversation.
I was hoping the first post was in jest but had no indication of it. After reading the the next post it seems that he was pulling a fast one on us and will be delivering the child of that 8 month pregnant leech for our fishing pleasure.
My apologies, just kidding. My fly is attached, it's around 1/16 short of an inch and I'm a dozen through. Will send them out this week. I wouldn't bend the rules at all.
Really looking forward to see all the creations we come up with!
Where is everyone else in this swap? Have you started tying? Half way there? Waiting on supplies? Done but not mailed? Mailed? Already in? Once I have two or three more sets, I'll reveal who was first in!
Made a few proto bugs. Going with one using some brown beaver underfur. At least in the sink has pretty cool effect in water of moving but at same time keeping the tail suspended.
Half way done and will finish up this weekend; should be post marked on Monday.
Being out of town two of last four weeks got me pretty swamped.
Make it happen man! Be a swapmeister and post it. I'll tie for that again.
