vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2020 3) 6 large saltwater flies. i.e. crabs, shrimp, streamers, etc. tied on saltwater hooks. 4) 3 stacked and packed deer hair flies. These are more effort than most other flies and can be things of beauty. I have a few from members too nice to fish so they hang on my tying bench for inspiration. You are NOT limited to listed amount of flies. I CANNOT always balance the amounts of flies and box when cross matching the swappers and secret santas so sending in several extra is great but cannot guarantee getting back anything except minimums. This has been a fun swap and I hope to make it fun, equitable, and get each person flies geared toward their preference as much as possible. Let's have fun and the sooner I get all the flies the sooner they'll be packaged and returned. Once back to receivers I expect them to sit UNMOLESTED under tree until Christmas Eve. I promise to keep better track of where your flies go and be able to give that info if no one responds to your flies. There is no limit to how many can participate in this swap. Considering it's Christmas, the more the merrier. You may send in boxes in more than one category or more than one box in a category. You will get a return gift for each box sent. You decide what you think someone would like to receive, tie them up and send them in. No limit to the amount of participants for this swap. I pledge on my part to keep better track of flies and boxes, where they go, and get photos this year. Nick Szabo PO Box 361 Cheyenne OK 73628 [email protected] Notes based on last year's questions... 1. Yes, my email is paypal connected for postage 2. To clarify a point, I'm going to try again on this since I've had a couple of questions on it. Let's say you're in for a panfish swap. Now, let's say you don't know 12 panfish flies you can tie comfortably and send in. Okay, no one (most anyway), wants a dozen identical Bluegill Bullies. If you're only comfortable with a few different patterns fine. Just mix them up so you have no more than 3 of any single pattern so the person will have some variety in his box. This could be as simple as 4 sets of 3 different patterns, 4 sets of 3 similar but different color or weight or size patterns, or 2 sets of 3 patterns and 6 different patterns. Not trying to confuse anyone here, just trying to make it clear that this is not the swap where we try to tie 12 identical patterns. 3. Since it was brought up by someone, I will include the Santa's surprise for at least one lucky member drawn at random. This will consist of some flies sent as extras by generous souls and maybe a few tying materials I have in surplus. At least one special surprise, maybe more. 1...Breambuster --------- trout/pan------------Arrived 2...richmce ---------------- large streamers------------Arrived 3...twisted tippet ------- trout/pan------------Arrived 4...Loogie ------------------ saltwater-----------Arrived 5...snorider ---------------- trout/pan 6...Woodenlegs --------- trout------------Arrived 7...Sandan ----------------- trout 8...Johnw1986 ----------- trout------------Arrived 9...Rick Zieger ---------- panfish------------Arrived 10..Stabgnid ------------- steelhead flies------------Arrived 11..dflanagan ----------- trout/pan------------Arrived 12..umcpastor -------streamers 13,.troutmaster08 ----- trout------------Arrived 14..mikemac1-------------saltwater------------Arrived and -----------Arrived 15..flytire---------------------trout streamers--------Arrived 16..fishingbobnelson---trout------------Arrived 17..Jay Dzik--------------- trout/pan------------Arrived 18..bowsbrownsbrookies (man covers them all) 19..Walt Ryan---------------streamers-----------Arrived 20..Bachhus_2-------------trout-----------Arrived 21..Jonathon Barnes---trout------------Arrived 22..John Woroebel------trout------------Arrived 23..Schmang---------------trout------------Arrived 24..Dubs---------------------trout------------Arrived. 25..Sumner McLain----trout------------Arrived. 26..DarrellP----------------streamers------------Arrived and ------------Arrived; 27..cphubert--------------streamers----------Arrived 28..dogfacedoc---------bass------------Arrived 29..samsonboi----------trout------------Arrived 30..WWKimba-----------pan/bass-----------Arrived 31..Alberta Al------------trout------------Arrived 32..wmw4----------------saltwater 33..jamieofthe north--trout------------Arrived 34..vicente with a super special gift 35..toothybugs -------steelhead streamers------------Arrived 36..McFlyTyer---------pan/trout------------Arrived 37..bamboo rodley--pan//trout------------Arrived 38..Old Hat--------------pan/trout 39. 40..Duckmann---------------trout-----------Arrived 41..flyfishingpastor-------trout-----------Arrived 42..jvmills ---------------trout/pan-----------Arrived 43..Tim Ahlers---------trout------------Arrived 44..Chris-in-Louisiana---panfish------------Arrived 45.
