  1. With the conclusion of my previous swap and interest in another I have decided to host a terrestrial swap. This swap is open for anyone who wants in ( if an international swapper, PM me so we can figure out the best plan for shipping). I saw many new members expressing interest so here is you chance to get in! There are many patterns out there and many variations of each so this should be fun. If you are a new swapper make sure to read the rules and polices under the fly swap thread and if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Make sure to include a self addressed envelope for me to mail your flies back to you. Altoid tins work great to ship flies in. Few things from my last swap I want to pass along... Please do not put pre paid postage on your return envelope, post master doesn't like that Postage did increase at the end of last month so take that into consideration when shipping them in. When you put your stamps on the return envelope try your best so that none of the stamps are over lapping... another comment from the post master. I will open the swap up to 15 tiers plus myself (mail 15 flies in, don't get your own back). I am going to set the deadline for March 16. If everyone could have them to me by then that way I can sort them over the weekend and mail them out Monday. With the trout season starting up in a couple months or even for those summer time bluegill this is a great way to get 15 new flies for that fly box of yours! Please respond with an "I'm in" and the pattern you will be tying and I'll add you to the list. Swap is full! SM- PB78- Foam grass hopper size 10 Ready to go 1.)

  2. The flies are in the mail. I had enough time after my class to run into town so everyone should be getting them next week (maybe longer for Canada?) Thank you all for joining and good luck with the new flies!
  3. I'm not sure I understand the idea of the half way picture - I think it is just to show that you actually did tie it and not buy it?
  4. Just got the last set in today. I will sort them out and get them mailed out either tomorrow or Saturday morning. Thank you everyone who participated and for the extras.
  5. Thanks Frank. I'll look into those patterns and books and see what else I can learn. I have read a little bit about Syd Glasso in what I have been able to find so far.
  6. Hmm okay, guess I just cannot search by species then. Thanks
  7. Anyone else not able to access patterns? It seems to have been down for a while... is there new link for it or do we no longer have it? I can click on the link but if I choose a species of fish the screen goes white...
  8. Well, as everyone knows today was the last day for the swap. I am still missing the one set that was sent out January 28th. Unless anyone has any objections I will wait for it to send them out... it should be here tomorrow or Friday I would think. Thanks everyone for participating.
  9. Okay, thanks. Any specific colors or sizes?
