jfinn 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2016 About a year ago we did a small trout fly swap, I would like to do this again with a small varation. The idea for this swap is to tie any Large (12+) fly for trout of your choice and any small (≤18) fly. This could be your favorite hopper dropper setup, favorite 2 nymph rig or two others of choice that meet the criteria. Basic swap rules apply - tie flies (1 large/1 small) for each participant except yourself, toe tag each fly and send with return postage paid envelope. Flies are to be to the SM by the due date not shipped on the due date. I'm hoping for 12 participants. Due date of the flies would be April 15th. SWAP FULL!!!! SM - jfinn - Large = hippie stomper/ small = rainbow warrior jmckaughan - Received vicrider - Received imx -Received sammothner -Received DavidR - Received stabgnid -Received fishingbobnelson -Received Dosix - Received Oliver47 -Received PJ2 -Received tyler94 -Received add147 - Received Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2016 I'll give it a go. Don't know if it's what I'll do but large fly on top suspending a small nymph underneath is a good setup. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dosix 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2016 I'm in Jfinn and It's my first swap. I just did 12 dry flies size 18 thinking that was for 15 of March lol. Tail a few fibers of natural deer hair Body red CDC Hackle grizzly and red I love this one for the times that trout don't know what the want to eat. I'm not sure if I should use size 10 or 12 for the stoneflies I really don't like big hooks I have time to think. I have a question how I know the address of the SM Like I'm new I don't know what means with toe tag I'm lost in translation lol. Thank you for the clarification and patience.

The SM will send you his address via private message either when the sawp starts or when you are ready for it. The toe tag is simply a piece of paper with your board name on it attached to the bend of the hook. This swap looks great, can't wait to see you guys' flies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfinn 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2016 i'm in sounds like a good old dry/dropper swap to me balloon caddis / brassie Similar idea just didn't want to limit it to dry/dropper feel free to tie 2- drys, 2- wet whatever you feel as long as the hook sizes meet the criteria.
