WYKnot 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 How about a safety pin fly swap...? I tied an Adams on a safety pin a couple of years ago to adorn my fishing hat. Any pattern you want, just tie it on a safety pin. Reply if interested, then send one (1) fly-on-a-safety-pin by 15 Jan 05. I will randomize the collection and send you a fly pin from another tyer. One safety pin fly submitted, one safety pin fly (not your own) in return. Display it to your favorite hat, fishing vest, or shirt collar. Suspense: 15 Jan 05 Objective: 10 Tyers.

tdeyette 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 Interesting idea....I have never tried tying on a safety pin. Seeing as there is only one needed for the swap I think I can attemp this Count me in .... I'm finishing up some GR Hares ears for the nymph swap...might just try one of those on the safety pin and see how it comes out. Tom...willing to give er' a try Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WYKnot 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 No size limit. Any length, color, or wire size you want to tie on is Okay. Just try to keep it under a half a pound... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WYKnot 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 I figured a half a pound might be about all the stress a FTF hat could handle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GerardG 0 Report post Posted November 30, 2004 I like the idea of making a fly on a saftypin. I am sure I am going to make 2 for my daughters. I can not join the swap because I can not include a postage return stamp. Maybe next time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
