Fly Tying

Support our troops SWAP

Recommended Posts

Ok here's the rules for this one. In the spirit of supporting our troops, everyone needs to use a colour from the support ribbon below. With these colours, they will support Canadian, American, and all other allied forces. The colours to be used are: RED, BLUE, WHITE, YELLOW. You can tie any fly as long as one of these colours are used in it somewhere. You don't need to use all the colours, just one.

 

Once my own flies are recieved, I'm sending them to a friend and avid flyfisherman who will be returning home in 3 months (any extras will also be sent to him).

 

10 Flies are due by March 5th so there is lots of time to get creative.

 

NOTE: I'm in Canada so my American friends can use International Reply Coupons or just throw in a buck or two for postage and I'll look after it.

 

First 10 with "I'm In" will participate. Here's the coloured ribbon for reference.

I took myself off the list but will be tying 10 flies. This will make it so that no one gets their own fly back.

Yes...all donated to a serviceman. You're only responsible for 10 flies but often extras get sent. So I just wanted to let people know where they will go.

There will be fishermen (women) from all over in the swap so tie what you like best. That's the beauty of swaps, you get flies that work all over. Up here we use alot of nymphs, dries like caddis, buggers, any steelhead flies....you just tie what ever fly you like. Welcome aboard.

I'm in.

 

I tried to reply earlier but it did not post I guess.

 

I will tie the White Weeny.

I have been told that this is a real bass catcher in Pennsyvania when tied in chartrues, but other colors are effective too.

And I will happily throw in a few extra flies for your buddy.
