Copper John 1st attempt Copper John 1st attempt (side view)

I just picked up a Liquid 3-pack in the 3.5 for my #9 weight. I haven't been able to fish it yet, season is closed but I have caught a few lawn bass with it and I like the way it feels. The drag is awesome.

Sounds good.

I just picked up a 9wt Echo Ion and a lamson liquid 3 pack. Haven't fished with it yet but cast nice and I really like my Echo glass 3 wt.

Last spot is yours, look forward to seeing your flies. Also thanks for be ambitious and tying 2 dozen for the swap.

That's fine with me.

Yes, the count is 12 flies we have 11 different patterns so everyone will receive 2 of one pattern.

Looks great i'm excited to see the others.

Sounds great I will count you in.

I would randomize it. So count is still 12.

Next vote for 9 or 12 will be the winner.

Has always been pike focused but there is lots of cross over.

We still have 3 open spots does everyone want to tie 12 and get a couple random repeats or drop the number of flies to 9?

WVontheFLY, muskyhunter81 and Raymond21 please respond to the actual swap thread if you want to join.

I'm starting a swap focused on pike flies. Basic swap rules apply - tie a fly for each participant except yourself, toe tag each fly and send with return postage paid envelope. I'm hoping for 12 participants. Due date of the flies would be March 31st.

Sounds good I will start an actual thread for the swap.

I'm looking to see if there is any interest out there for a Pike fly swap? i'm just starting the adventure of tying flies for Pike. I only tied trout flies previously and think a swap would be a good way to start a basic pike box. I'm willing to host for up to 12 tiers but would request we pick patterns early one to try and avoid duplicate patterns. I'm really look for a wide range and variation of flies from the swap. I'm thinking the due date would be March 31st. Do we have enough interest?

Watched these links last night. Those are some massive flies!
