WE COULD USE ONE (2) MORE DEDICATED TIERS!!! WHERE ARE YOU?

I think it’s time for you innovative fly tying guys to come forward and join in on this swap. This will be my second swap as Swapmeister. Due date would be May 15. This gives you time to do a little Spring fly fishing! I’m sure there have been dragonflies done before, but that’s ok. I think there is room for plenty of innovation here. I will leave it open for up to 12 tiers. I would like to see a few guys tie up a “dry fly pattern” if you’re crazy enough, although, I suspect most will be nymphs. I have heard of giant trout taking dries... :thumb:

Alright! I received chattmr flies in the mail today all the way from Birmingham, Alabama! That's right, Birmingham. They are called the
"Clouser Bucktail Dragon" and are quite unique. I guess the rest of us should start tying. I have received three (3) patterns in the mail already.
Good Luck tying!!!

Things, I think, are coming along. We could have shortened the fly tying time, but, remember I was giving guys some time to do their Spring fly fishing fever? OK. I decided on a feeble attempt at a dry Red Dragon, rather than a nymph. How's everyone doing? Did I PM everyone my address? :thumb:

Too bad.... Sorry to have Curtis drop out. I don't consider this a fly tying contest, so I wish he would have gone ahead and sent them. This means we have a total of 7 tiers if I can count right. I am missing Daryle Holmstrom's flies which have not arrived in the mail, perhaps Saturday???? I will then take photographs and get them in the mail ASAP.

OK. I have received ALL the flies from those that "stuck with it" and gott'em done! :thumb:
There ended up being a total of (7) tiers. Daryle's arrived in the mail today. Those are "hairy" dragon nymphs! So, I just finished with taking pictures of those, reviewed photos, and made some choices. I need to load them, but probably need to talk with Chris first. I will attempt to get them in the mail tommorow if I can. Regardless, you should have them by Friday I would assume. It's been a pleasure. There are some unique flies here. Thanks everyone for hanging in there! :) :thumb:

Hi All. Photos have been posted in the gallery. Flies in the mail in the morning. I couldn't figure out the gallery and how to post the name of the fly and tier at the same time, so I put the names in the comment section.... :thumb:
