TheYiman 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2011 CLOSED- Looks like a great swap! Hello all, It is time for me to host my first swap. Since the warmwater bite is really turning on, I decided to host a Smallmouth Flies swap. <b>Here is my idea. I thought it would be cool to get a variety of Smallie bugs, so I was thinking about having 12 members broken down into 3 catagories. 5 people would tie topwater, 5 people would tie streamers, and 2 people would tie big smallmouth nymphs. </b> All standard swap rules apply - toe tags, SASEs, ontime, etc. Due date - 6 weeks from today - <b>June 1, 2011</b>. Send in 12 of your pattern = get 11 new and 1 of yours. What do think? If you want to join, reply with I'm in and what type you are going to do - topwater, streamer, nymph. I will be the first in and will fill in to a catagory where needed. I'm flexible and have an idea for each of the groups. Tight lines, TheYiman <i>Topwater</i> 1) rich mc - Shannon - RECEIVED 2) yetavon - Inverted Gurgler - RECEIVED 3) Odaon - Drakes Wounded Minnow 4) Dantfitz - Duck's Sipper 5) djmyers - RECEIVED <i>Streamer</i> 6) eastern fly - clouser - RECEIVED 7) salty fly - no name (see post #22) - RECEIVED 8) utyer - Shenks Minnow - RECEIVED 9) TheYiman - Crawfish 3.0 - FINISHED 10) SullyTM - Minnow - The Sparkler - RECEIVED <i>Smallie Nymph</i> 11) rich mc - ISA bug - RECEIVED 12) bertgwen - Hex nymph So, who's in?

Odaon 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2011 I'm in! I'd love to be in top water if there's still room. Gonna tie up some of those Drakes Wounded minnows I saw a while back on here. Probably with zonker instead of hackle tails but I'm not sure yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
