First six tiers. We each tie a dozen. Each person gets 2 of each pattern.

This is for the alpine lake fisherman!

Wet, Dry or Nymph.

So far I have the following:

cmtundra
Icanfly
Wildlander (me)
mr Trout
Fly'ndutchman

Room for one more but will take a backup or two if one of the above opt out.

I will be tying a yellow caddis pupa emerger #16. They were found up on Wildcat Lakes (beyond Snow and Gem Lakes) in July and have seen them elsewhere. The trout were loaded with them too. Not very common, I always keep a few in the box for such times.

I love stripping (flies...usually) in the high lakes. I will tie a bugger variant of mine, and probably some sort of "get-your-attention" nymph...or maybe just a brown one that really works well in a lot of spots...we'll see.

I hope we can get one more...I got bored and got all mine tied up...
If not, I guess I don't have to worry about tying replacements for a while!

Come on somebody... Cowboy up and git tyin'! :thumb:

Let's go for it. This is my first time doing the swap, so I assume flies and addresses come to me and then go out to the recipients. Let me know if it works differently. In any event, please send privately to ken@wildlanders.com.

Will plan to have the flies sent out by the end of the month.

If others want to join, give me a hollar. I have not heard back from at least one person so there may still be a slot.

Just an update, these are the folks in the swap.

Wildlander (me)

Distribution date is June 15th or prior to that when all the flies are in. Please send a self-stamped return envelop large enough to return in the same container that you sent your flies in.

Thanks.

Just to let folks know. I have a medical emergency. I am going to Yakima today but do not know what will happen. I wish this was a joke but it is not. I will still try to get the flies shipped by the 20th... but I have not tied mine yet and may return two of your flies instead.

I've been sitting on 9 flies forever. I'll definitely finish the last 3 today and ship. They should arrive on Wed, if not Thur for sure.

Wildlander -Sorry to hear about the medical emergency. Hope all turns out
well.

Icanfly -Yeah, he emailed it. If you still need the address let me know & I can forward it to you.
