Classic Wet Fly Or Soft Hackle Fly Swap

Recommended Posts

Ibrb, Saltydog and Wernstriumph, you are all IN! Great to see so many new swappers (new to me!) I'm looking forward to seeing what this swap will turn up. It's going to be a good one, I'm sure of that!

 

There are only 3 spots left. It's filling up REALLY fast! If anyone is sitting on the fence, trying to decide whether or not to join, you'd better not wait too long!

 

Thanks

Lostlure. Welcome. You're in with a soft hackle. When you get the name of the specific pattern, let me know and I'll post it to the opening frame of this thread. Glad to have you in on this one. I'll getting really excited about it.

 

To everyone else, this swap is really filling up fast! Only 2 spots left, and the way things have been going, those 2 spots will go quickly. For anyone who is thinking about it and have never swapped with me before, you need to know that I'm pretty rigid when it comes to the number of swappers. I don't think it's fair to those who signed up first to keep adding more and more swappers than first stated. When we hit 15, that's going to be it. So if you want in, you'd better grab one of the last two spots open!

 

Take Care

i'll take spot 15 if its still available

 

i also hope youre pretty rigid with due dates :dunno:

 

Hi Flytire. You are IN! BARELY! You have spot #15, and this swap is now CLOSED!

 

Thanks to all for signing up.

 

I try to be pretty conscious of the due date, Flytire. It isn't always possible to get everyone to get their flies in on time, but I'll begin about a week before the due date reminding people to go ahead and get their stuff in. As soon as I have everyone's flies, I'll try to get them back out to the swappers within a day. Hopefully we can get them back to you in a timely manner. That, at least, is my goal. It's just that it isn't always possible to get all of the other 14 swappers on board with that. But you have my word that I will do my best.

 

Thanks
