bentflyrod 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2009 THIS SWAP IS CLOSED TO NEW SWAPPER'S Welcome to the Secret Santa Swap 2009! The object of this swap is you send me your flies (amount stated below) and I photograph them, wrapped them and sent them to your secret swapper. They don't know until they open them, who they are from. There are Secret Santa prize's that are randomly given away to the swappers. Last year we had a good group of people and the swap went very well. So I think we will run things the way we did last year with one minor change, 10 flies due instead of 6. If you would like to join in and you are sure you can make the deadline that the flies have to make it to me, reply with a I'M IN! Flies will be due by 11-16-09(Due by 11-16-09, not shipped by 11-16-09.) ,so they can be photographed , wrapped and get back to the secret swapper's before Christmas. These are the categorie's to send in. Pick one. 1) 10 of your favorite flies 2) 10 different flies that you fish 3) 10 flies that you like to tie 4) one realistic fly 5) one full dressed classic fly Alot of members put there flies in a flybox and send them. It makes it nicer for the person getting your flies. You don't have to it is your choice. Also you are not limited to 10 flies (that is all yo need to send), you can send as many as you want. They all go to your secret swapper. You decide what you think someone would like to receive, tie them up and send them in. No limit to the amount of swappers. Swap will close on 9-23-09.

Best Freakin Realtor (aka BFR) the bass fishing has been slow well slow for me cause I have not been in for freakin ever. But the steelhead fishing has bee good. I hope to get in to some of the fall smallie feeding time but we will see. So are you going to come visit the Michigan family this year?
