Gary Madore 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2006 I would love to join this swap. As you can see, I am new to these forums but would be more than happy to contribute to the swap, it sounds like a blast. I have only been tying for about 3 months so if that doesn't work for you guys let me know. My ties aren't perfect but they sure as heck catch fish! Let me know if you can squeeze me in. Thanks P.S. Did you post the address that we need to send them to or will that come later? North Fork, Thanks for stepping up but flies have already started to arrive so there aren't any extras. If anyone drops out and you're still interested, though, we'd love to have you. Sorry 'bout that Cheers! Gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary Madore 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2006 Gary its a pattern my friend told me about,he used them in B.C. this summer.He didnt call them by name. OK, I'll just put "David M" on the toe tags and the fly will remain a mystery the tin is a cut down Tetley tea can. Guys: This cut down tea can is very thin and has lotsa room for a whack of flies. It fits in a regular envelope and so is worth looking at if you're having trouble with Canada Post. I'll post a picture of it later (um, when I get my camera back....) Cheers!
