Flat Rock native 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Thinking of A Deadline of April 15, 2017. That can be a Butte Ugly Day in U.S. of A. Butte, we can still have FUN. By then all my 2016... Swaps and Donations are completed, and I will have learned enough (hopefully) to be a SwampMeister, but would gladly defer that title to another. Limited to 1st Fifteen Entrants. Must tie 15 copies, plus 2 Wild Cards... Submittals must be personally certified to have caught fish, or must be presented in a style, that has historically caught fish. FReSh or Salt patterns ok Other ideas for swap guidelines gladly, considered Welcome more Ideas Updated Rulles 12-15-16 Having noted some squeals from Silver County, Montana about naming rights to this proposed swap, the eligible patterns may now include anything With Copper, or orange (close enough); anything snakey like baby Anacondas, or anything someone from Butte, MT said would catch fish... Ok, any fly with a story about catching something will likely work And anything Pink; especially if the Nacho Macho guys just think it is too pretty, yes, it is Butte Ugly Edited January 5, 2017 by Flat Rock native Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carpflyguy 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2016 Sounds interesting, but could you provide a little more info on the requirements? Just any ugly looking fly that works? And would cards being extras, yes? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flat Rock native 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2016 Sounds interesting, but could you provide a little more info on the requirements? Just any ugly looking fly that works? And would cards being extras, yes? I think it Must be Butte Ugly. Butte yep, you basically have it. SwampMeister deals Wild Cards. I didn't want to run a Sequel Junk Fly Too. Butte only because that needs to stand on its own, and also did not want to dishonor any of the Magnificient patterns in transit now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flat Rock native 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2016 I thought you needed to be in 3 swap to host one... By the time we reach the starting date, hope that I have been in more than 3, but if you read the initial post, you will See that I am glad to yield the SM job to someone better at it, than me... We want more SwampMeisters to Step Up... on any style of fly they wish to endorse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicente 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2016 I think FRN's mod status overrides the 3 swap requirement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2016 LOL No, it doesn't, vincente. We must set the example if we're to do the "Mod job" successfully. But FRn's explained himself adequately on the original post ... and again on post #6. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2016 I got an idea. Let's all send in selfies of us at the vise tying and see who the most butt ugly tier is. Make it a contest and I'll run away with it. By the way, I won't host but would get in one if someone picks it up or you get your requirements in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flat Rock native 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2016 No perks with mod job; agree 100% with mikechell; SteveC Steel's marching orders were essentially: "... Be Nice to people, And Make Me Look Good..." In consideration, all I get is more ideas about ice fishing in a tall, scotch and soda.... membership has its' privileges.
