Dry Fly Reversal Swap

Due Date: March 21, 2011

 

 

 

I will list 12 flies with their patterns. You must choose one. When all 12 flies are spoken for then this swap will be closed. You will have to tie 12 flies.

Canadians: SASE.

U.S.: It costs me a total of $2.60 to return your flies if your envelope is 3/4 inch high or less. It is $4.65 if it is higher than 3/4 inches. I need U.S. stamps for my future swaps, so you can send me the equivilant in stamps inserted into the return envelope (not licked onto env.)if you want. Remember do not stick them to the envelope.

 

OK here we go: Pick a fly and claim it with " i'm in with the..." remember to choose a size within range mentioned.

Awesome idea for a swap Horsehoes :yahoo: . Unfortunately I have to give this one a miss though because I don't quite have the right materials. :ripped:

 

But out of curiosity would you have taken a recalcitrant Aussie? :unsure:

Yes, of course you would have been welcome. I welcome all from everywhere. Just was going to leave the Intnl postage through PMs. Sometimes Itntls find it easier to pay postage through PayPal.

 

 

lykos33 - sorry we are going to miss you on this one.

 

SullyTM, Bruce Derington, fishingbobnelson, Trout_Patrol and Student4evr Welcome to the swap.

 

This should be another quality swap, I am of course, rating this by the caliber of the tiers in this swap.

SullyTM thanks. We still have some spots left here. Someone must be up to the challenge. By my count and it may be wrong..There are 5 spots left. They are a nice bunch of flies. Ones we should have in our box when the spring comes.

 

California cannot be the dominator :ph34r: ...no other states tie dry? :hyst:
