WWKimba 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2020 This swap is open to new and intermediate tiers. This Swap is closed. This is the first of a series of swaps I am offering for the fishing "off season". It will be open for a minimum of 6 tiers and a maximum of 10 tiers. This first in the series is for the STREAMER type of flies. As far as this swap is concerned a "streamer" is a pattern tied on any hook that is 3 XL or longer and is made to mimic a fish fry/baitfish/minnow or crawfish or dragonfly nymph (the underwater part of it's life cycle - NO ADULT dragonflies please!). All participants will receive a fly tying gift for participating. Sign-up will end on October 1. All flies must be received by October 31. DO not forget your toetags! If this is your first swap read the articles at the top of this forum section. Any questions please feel free to PM me by clicking on my WWKimba name on this swap and you will be connected to write/send me a PM (private message). Most important - HAVE FUN! 1 - John1986 - Bead-head Coho Bucktail - received 2 - BHouk - Pumpkinseed Fatal Attraction - received 3 - Stabgnid - received 4 - Chris_in_Louisiana - Rattle Fly - received 5 - 6 - haziz - Woolly Bugger - received 7 - DarrellP - Carey Special - received 8 - gpnfishWW - EP Bluegill - received 9 - Swmalone - Mohair Leech -received 10 - vicente - Black Ghost - received The next swap in this series is going to be NYMPH patterns, keep an eye out!

vicrider 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 Are you holding off for awhile before you let guys tying for many years but still intermediate? That's fine to try to get some guys in. Put an ad on the Beginner forum section and see if you can get some new blood into our swaps. Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you consider yourself an intermediate then I'm still learning to tie my shoes! Trying to open this for newer tiers so you can get some fresh talent for your next swaps. If I don't get enough then I'll open to the 40 year "kids" in fly tying so the true newbies see what they can strive for. Sound like a plan? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trying right now for the newer/intermediate tiers and those who may have taken a few years off and want to shake the rust or those who this may be their first swap. Basically trying to drum up and encourage some new blood for future ties and get some experience at swapping. I came from the Fly Anglers On-Line site and saw what can happen when there's becomes a divide between those new to tying/swapping and the old hands. I will keep you in mind - it would be nice for the newbies to see what they can strive for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHouk 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2020 Thanks, WW. I'll tie a Fatal Attraction. It's a pumpkin seed good for bass http://www.flyfishohio.com/fatal_attraction_baby_pumpkinseed.htm May work for salmon... I'm assuming 10 is the count for the number of flies, correct?

Chris_in_Louisiana 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2020 I'm interested if I meet the qualifications. I'd qualify myself as intermediate. Learned to tie (poorly) as a child, but only got back into it about two years ago. Not sure what I'd tie yet, but I can come up with a few options.
