Anyone interested in doing a swap for Sea Run flies used on the beach? I know that a lot of people don't used a lot of variety when plying the salt, but I figured it could be a fun swap. I am building a brand new beach rod that I hope to finish in a week or two and wouldn't mind getting a batch of wonderful flies to take along on its virgin outing! If I get enough interest I'll host a mail swap. Signup deadline of 3/17/13 and mailing deadline of 4/7/13. Tyers Gary Knowels - Sea Run Bugger from Nativetroutflyfishing.com DONE Eyejuggler - Reversed Spider RECEIVED Nailbender - baitfish pattern RECEIVED Steve Knapp - topwater tube slider RECEIVED Chris Bellows - surface pattern RECEIVED Pat lat - popper patterns Ben Guss - yellow/orange tube spider RECEIVED Bob Triggs - Little Stone's chum baby Kelvin - Double K Reverse Spider RECEIVED lap dog - snot dart RECEIVED 10 tyers total. Please tie 10 flies of a single pattern (you'll get one back, its just WAY easier to sort out this way) if you want to tie a second pattern feel free. Please get the flies in the mail by 4/7/13, but clearly the earlier the better. Thanks for joining and I'm looking forward to seeing all the great patterns!
Only responding so I have this thread in my history to refer back on and see what people tied. My tying skill is lacking so wouldn't want to curse somebody with my work!
I only started tying a few months ago and I'm not great by any means. I welcome any and all tyers and find that entering swaps have been great for improving the quality of my ties. It forced me to repeat a pattern many times as well as focusing on quality because I didn't want to give crap to other people.
I have never done one before so a little hesitant, but thats pretty much all I have been tying and these swaps sound like fun. What are the rules per say? I might give it a shot. I am new tyer so it would definitely be a good challenge.
Here is the mods description of what a fly swap is http://washingtonflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-a-fly-swap-works.19715/ I'll add people to the list in the original post as people sign up. I'm thinking 12 tyer max unless there is a lot of interest.
I'm in! I'll tie my chum fry pattern, or maybe a slider/popper Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
Ok guys, had some connection issues, but fixed now that I am home. I will be busting out some reverse spiders for the swap, a great, funky action SRC viable fly!
Plenty of space! 6 spots left or however many people sign up by the deadline. Glad to have you Chris.
We have 7 people so far. Im hoping for 10-12. We'll tie one pattern ( or two if you want), one fly for each tyer.
