Flies for swaps

Just see what everyone else does when they sit down at the vise.

With my time constraints, I only do what the swap requires; doesn't matter, I don't have time to fish anyway.

As always there's a few rejects. They end up in my box.

Pretty much the same as Shoe. The rejects end up in my box. Though I was involved in swap the required a hundred flies. I found I still wanted to send out a good fly. I think I ended up with about 20 or 30 rejects. I can now tie the pattern blindfolded.

I usually end up with 6 rejects for my box.

I'm with Shoe, all the rejects end up in my box or stripped down and recycled.

Rejects end up in my box also.......unless smalliehunter is in the swap,then i tell the SM to send the worst one to him

Well I guess I am more of a perfectionist. I got in to tying realistic flies while I was working in Europe and that really helped me tie better, but it also made me more picky. If the fly is not to bad I put it in my box....but otherwise.......I break out the ol' razor blade. Me and the razor are buds now!

I tie until I've got the best I can tie to send out. Fortunately, my abilities have improved a lot since my first swap.

 

As for recycling, anything that I am unhappy with gets put into the recycling pile.
