I would like to be a part of this swap as I have no flies on my wall and there are several accomplished tyers here. BUT...

 

1) 10 Exhibition quality flies is quite a lot to tye.

2) The time frame is bad for me. Busy with work and I'm already in two other swaps.

3) Most of the guys who want flies on their wall are buddies with other tiers that have probably given them flies in the past. If you're good enough to have your fly on the wall, chances are that your wall is already covered.

4) Some of these "fancy" flies are expensive to tie. The hooks may be $20 each and some of these maniacs ( ) put hundreds of dollars worth of feathers on a hook.

 

If you just want a fly to mount, I wouldn't mind sending you one. I still need a lot more practice before I can honestly say my flies are worthy to be in a shadowbox. But it will be a while before I have time to tie one and send it to you.

David, I'll help you get this one started.I'm in. Just about finished with the Decorative swap for sherrib. That may also be one reason that you didn't get any bites right away. My flies are not exhibition quality but I manage to get a few good ones out of each bunch.
