Once we have everyone, it will be easier to set a due date, but usually I give it a month. So look to have things done sometime around the 1st of the year. If you start now, that is less than a fly a day, easy!
Shit. Spare time is rare these days, but I guess count me in. Question: Does it have to be two of the exact same? What about eleven of one fly, eleven of another?
I've done this in the past and it works well as well, but I always find myself wishing I owed two of a good pattern. I could easily go either way so if you sent two patterns, I'd make it work.
I haven't decided what to tie. What I catch most fish on is probably similar what what Ira is going to tie. I could go with an all white little micro leech I've been trying for my local lake...

I think I'm going to tie cone head crystal hackle bunny leeches. One will be white and olive, the other will be blacker than the inside of a coffin on a moonless night
Travis. This sounds like a great pattern. Is there a link to a fly recipe you can suggest?
Yesterday I tied John Barr's meat whistle for the first time. I am wondering if these flies are similar. While tying the meat whistle I was thinking it might do well at my local lake.
Finished mine just now. I was going to power through on a full-on Rickards bender but I'd forgotten that tying a decent seal bugger is quite the art project. So after 11 of those, I decided to pay tribute to another great leech-chucker, Tim Lockhart, who professes great affection for all things simiseal.
I figured that Ira and Nick will provide good options for the leech-danglers among us . . .ya know, if you can get past the bobber . . .
I tied 2 of Ira's Bloodworm pattern with one substitution, liquid lace in place of wire. I like the look of wire but my hope is this will last many many fish.
I filled a liquid lace with mineral oil for the Swap Master, Ira. Ira, only use water based head cement with the liquid lace. It melts. I use wood floor glue. If you need some, I have enough to supply the entire forum with head cement!
I will put them on your porch.
