Telephone Swap

Recommended Posts

Here's another challenge swap -

 

Remember the children's game telephone? Everyone would sit in a circle and the first person would whisper something in the next person's ear. It would get passed around the circle before the last person would say it out loud and everyone would laugh at how much the original statement had changed. Same idea for this swap.

 

Come up with a pattern of your own and send just one to me along with a stamped return envelope. You will get someone else's fly in return and your job is to recreate the fly with whatever you have, tie enough for the entire group, and send them back to me, again with a stamped return envelope.

 

I will post pics of the original and the reproduced fly so we can all compare.

 

Important thoughts:

-Let's keep them a little smaller - size 2 or less.

-No need to purchase the same materials, use what you already have. After all, that's half the fun of tying.

-Have fun with it, but don't make anyone cry with what you send them to reproduce.

-No need to send the pattern recipe with your original, they are going to make it up anyway. (I had thought about posting the comparable recipes, but it's just a little too labor intensive for me.)

 

Your first fly is DUE IN MY HANDS FRIDAY, NOV. 11TH!!!!! Please make sure you include a toetag with your FTF Screen Name.

 

As you are considering, please remember that there will be a second due date with more flies due.

 

First twelve, including myself, with an "I'm in".

 

Let's get it on.

Hey, I understand. There's a reason I'm only in swaps at certain times. Just remember, there's only a single fly due November 11th. It will probably be at least a month after it that the others are due by the time I get everything sent back out to you.
