Hi fellas. My buddy Josh asked me to join so I'm in. This is my first swap so be gentle on me. Not sure what I'll tie,

but will update you when I can. Thanks for the honor to trade flies with all you fine tyers.

Thanks steelie, I was hoping it didn't come off in a bad way. The last thing I wanted to do was offend someone.I can tell you though , with the quality of tyers in this swap , I doubt a fly will touch the water. The ones I recieve are going straight into a frame.

After checking my materials, I chose to tie the Cunningham, a Mary Orvis Marbury pattern. I'll tie the flies on old

blind eye Mustad 3371 1/0 hooks with gut eyes from Spanish gut twisted by myself. I'll get to work tomorrow!

Don't mean to thread jack here, but i had to jump in with a high five for Fred! Your realistics are mind numbing man, amazing job!! :cheers:

 

What a fantastic swap you guys have on on the go!

Fred I must say that you my friend Have created one of the coolest ideas for a swap that I have seen. It really takes peoples skills and puts them to the test. I know that the guys on this swap are all grade A tyers and that each one of them is going to put that extra umph in each fly they tie. I will be stealing this idea for a future swap, hope you don't mind.

 

PS can we get a final pic of the finished collection?
