O2fsh 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 Okay, anyone interested in a shrimp pattern swap? I'll limit it to 5 tiers (plus myself). Each participant must tie 10 flies, two for each person in the swap. Mail them to me, along with return postage and envelope. Each tier will get 10 shrimp in five patterns to try in their local waters. With a more detailed pattern, I was thinking of May 30th for a deadline. Plenty of time to get them tied, marked, and mailed. SWAP IS FULL O2fsh 1. O2Fsh 2. djgunter 3. Sjo 4. Aroostookbasser 5. Robert M 6.

O2fsh 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 Glad to welcome any tiers. As long as you make sure you cover your postage. U.S. postage rates JUST went up. The international coupons worked, but typically were too little. Consider doubling your rate. O2fsh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O2fsh 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 Aroo, To clarify: Each tier is to tie ten identical flies. Any shrimp pattern. 6 tiers tying 10 flies=2 flies to each of the other 5 participants. You will not get copies of your own pattern back. If you're in, that makes 4/6..... anyone else? O2Fsh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

O2fsh Our postage service in the netherlands don't have international coupons so we have to work something out with extra flies or materials or Paypal. Grtzzz...
