Big J 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2011 So I haven't been on here much with DLP class, working full time, and fishing in my free time, so I'm due for a swap. Who wants in on a Dry Fly swap, I was thinking tie your favorite small wild trout stream dry fly for your pattern. Lets see if you can fill 12 to 15 slots on this. Here are the swap rules: Post on thread that your in the swap and name the pattern your tying When flies are done, PM me for my address When mailing flies, include a return envelope with your address and close to the correct return postage. All flies are to get to me by September 15th 1.Big J - #14 Black Ant 2.FisheyeDon - #18 Black Cripple 3. Famill00 SWAP CLOSED Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

famill00 0 Report post Posted August 9, 2011 Hello Guys/Gals, I have been posting on another forum for a while now and saw a blip about this one. I am new to tying. I started in January and have been addicted ever since. I am 28 and live in the suburbs of Chicago. I would like to get in on this swap with a size 14 parachute adams. This will be my first swap on this site, and I have read the rules of the swaps. Please let me know if you are willing to let a newbie into the mix! I am looking forward to all the swaps on here. Thanks, Forrest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

famill00 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2011 So, how many of these should I tie up? I am thinking we each tie up a dozen and then they get divided equally amongst the tiers? -Forrest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lykos33 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2011 You know, if you are going to fish the flies you get from swaps and not just use them for display or models, than you may be on to something here. If i receive one fly from a person I am more likely to put it away for further study...aka copying. If I receive 3-4 then only one will get displayed and the others are getting wet...
