Smallmouth/Largemouth Monthly Swap - MARCH

[famill00 0]

For March, those of us in the SMB/LMB tying club are going to be tying Poppers. Feel free to use any material to make your Popper. I hope to get a good combination of materials such as cork, deer hair, foam, etc. I also hope to get a good combination of sizes, so please, once you decide your material and size post it here! I will update the original post on this thread as sizes and materials are posted.

 

All swap rules apply:

* Send your flies in a container that is crushproof. Keep in mind that some of these flies may be larger than the ones you send in. Please send an appropriate size container.

*Toetag your flies with your screen name and the name of the fly. Also put on there "LMB/SMB Club" because it will help keep these flies separate from any other swaps.

* Include a self addressed stamped envelope for the return of your flies. Please do NOT send something that is metered. You must use real stamps or the post office will not accept it. I know, stupid rule on their part, but we have to follow it.

* Either post the recipe here or PM it to me. I will, each month, photo each fly and put the recipe with it on this thread.

Hey guys, how are your flies going for this month? I have heard from Easternfly and Rich mc. Joman sent his in earlier in the year. How is everyone else doing? I myself am a little behind this month due to a fly fishing trip to the Smoky Mountains in TN. I will spend some extra time at the vise this weekend while waiting on new furniture to be delivered and try to get caught up. I will let y'all know when I get mine done.

Byron, these clubs usually start up around Nov/Dec of the prior year. There are a few going on here. What you are signing up for is 12 months of swaps. Due to the materials consumed in alot of these flies, we decided to keep it to 6 people this year. Next year we may expand to 10... Keep your eyes peeled for next year, or if someone needs to drop out I will post a thread on here asking for a replacement....at which time you could grab that spot for the rest of the year.
