Any interest in trading some lines/gear for flies? I have the following to trade for the general fly list included below. Will consider selling for cash, but prefer to trade. I'm aware that some flies are easier/harder to tie, etc. so price is just a starting point and indicates the general value of the item to me. Open to other suggestions on other items to trade as well.

I am part of a group that drew a June 21 Smith River permit. So, I'm looking to stock up on flies by JUNE 15. I don't expect perfect ties, just reasonable durability, general proportions correct, thread not covering eye, etc. The below list is just the flies that I haven't tied or don't already have enough of. Some ideas for flies that I'm looking for include (would also love to hear any other suggestions):

• 
  Streamers- #4-#6 muddlers, #2-#6 wooley buggers, #4-#6 sculpzilla, #4 swimmy jimmy, any big nasty (e.g. Kelly Gallop streamers).

• 
  Nymphs- #12-#18 Soft Hackles, #14 Copper Johns, #4-#10 Bitch Creeks/Yuk Bugs, #12-#16 Hare Ear (Dirty Bird), #14 Fly formally known as prince

• 
  Dries- #12-#18 parachute Adams, #16 X-Caddis/PMX, #6 - #10 Golden Stonefly Patterns, #8 - #14 bugmeister, , #8 - #14, Royal Wulff, #6 - #12 Stimulators

I would also love to hear any and all suggestions/recommendations you have for the Smith at that time of year.
Thanks, Chad
