eastern fly 0 Report post Posted October 26, 2011 My current swap is in its last days, so I thought I would post my idea for my next one. Fly Pattern Database. Here's how it works. You pick a fly thats not your own from the datsbase. You can go with any type like if your a soft hackle guy then pick someone like Arther. If poppers are you game then pick someone like Stipple Popper or smokinprice. Mine would be streamers. You would have to post the fly name and its creator. You must try to duplicate there fly as close as you can. Also with the same materials. I do understand some may not be available, or you just cant find them. Then you replace what you truly need too with something similar. You can change the size if you like. If there is enough interest we can get it started.

eastern fly 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 I was thinking about running it until after New Years to give people time to get materials. Also to get past the holidays. There are good flies on the database and I thought the members would like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
