DarrellP 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2022 As the year closes out I realize I have been in a lot of swaps. I enjoy a lot of what we have on the site, but I love the swaps! I have learned a lot by being "forced" to tie 12 of the same pattern. I would encourage you to keep up the great work and continue to support the swaps. It is great to see some of the fine work I received this year. I have kept a lot of them for patterns and I have given some to family. I have also contributed quite a few to casting for recovery which is very worthwhile. So, you are doing good whether you knew it or not. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

WWKimba 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2022 I have a donation box that all the swap extras go into. These I donate to groups like Casting for Recovery and Project Healing Waters. I'll tie at least one fly for every fly I remove from the box and donate the lot. Like I've said before, these swaps are a labor of love! Happy Holidays to all of you and your loved ones!
