Fred H. 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2009 I feel like a plumper waiting to get asked to the prom. Agreed. These invitation swaps can be morale boosters for those invited. For everyone else... not so much. I haven't posted any flies lately, so I'm going to blame that as my downfall. Please feel free to host one . I did not intend this swap to be exclusive. It was just meant for each tyer to have at least one person in the swap that he really wanted to swap with. There are many ,many great tyers on here that have not been asked yet. Some participate in swaps all the time, some don't participate in swaps but would consider it if asked. Fred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is so much talent on this site thateveryone has a hard time on deciding who to select. For me the fun has been watching the selection process unfold.

I have to agree with you Rich, there is so much talent and even a newbie like me can get involed thanks to the kind hearted tyers like Micke. It really is hard to pick just one tyer you would like to see, the choices are endless on this board. Dart when I was looking at flies to tie for this event one of yours was on my list of possible candidates; your flies are fantastic. Ian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These swaps have motivated me to get the camera out and start posting more patterns to the database. I know Pelhament felt the same way after the first invitation swap and he posted some great looking bass bugs in this thread. If nothing else, I think swaps like this make everyone strive to step up their game. It was an honor just being nominated. :hyst: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
