Smallmouth/Largemouth Monthly Swap - SEPTEMBER

[famill00 0]

For September, those of us in the SMB/LMB tying club are going to be tying Hellgrammites. There are so many variations of Hellgrammite flies! It is a well known fact that bass love these nasty looking critters.

 

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.

You will have to move on without me this month. I just have not had the time to order hooks and get them done. I will send them in with the next month.

Guys, I have received only Jomans and Rich's flies for this month and it is Oct 3. I know Kevin said he will be put off until next month (thanks for the heads up!), but I have not gotten flies from the remainder of you guys. Can you all please provide an update? Much appreciated!

Guys, I have given up on Zach. He has not been active in almost a month on here. I will be returning an extra wiggle minnow to each of you. Eugward I send flies back to you on Saturday. Rich, as usual, you have a stockpile of flies in my basement. Joman, same for you. Kevin, we look forward to getting Sept and Oct flies from you in a few days. Just send one tin and I will put them both in the same package for you to save postage. Do you all want me to invite someone in particular to fill zach's spot or should I just put up a post asking for a replacement?
