*****SWAP IS FULL*****

For this swap, you will need pick a letter and tie the appropriately named flies (ie A could be Ant, B could be Bugger). That will be a total of 25 flies to me on 1 Nov if this swap fills up. I will leave it open until 15 Sep and then you may take another letter if you want for another week. After that, I will cut off entries and reduce the number of flies required based on how many people we have signed up.

Due date is 1 Nov.

Normal swap rules apply. Be sure to include a self-addressed stamped envelope when you send me your ties, toe tag your flies, and put them in a container of some sort (being aware that it has to be big enough to handle 25 flies of various sizes).

International Swappers okay but please contact me regarding special shipping instructions.

Take a letter, let me know what you plan on tying and thanks for joining.

Ed-seeing as Min is tying a very popular BC pattern, I'll step in with another-the TomThumb.
