Fishing Forum

I am taking the reins of the 'Summer Fly Swap' that Sinergy was starting before he got tied up with other obligations.

The rules:
Each tier will tie 16 of the same fly that you would (or could) use in the Uintas. These be the 'go to fly' when nothing else is working. It can be for the small streams (drys/nymphs) to the lakes (steamers) etc. what is your go to fly in the Uintas. See the list below that was created between here and UWN for participants. Send me a PM with your Screen name, Fly name, Real name and Mailing address to verfiy that you are officially in. Don't worry I will only post your screen name and fly name. Because the Uintas have a short 'summer season' I am setting the deadline as July 16, 2010; so that I can hopefully get the flies returned by the 24th holiday weeked. If you cant make this deadline let me know so I can remove you from the list, but dony worry there will be more of these.

I figured this would be a good way for those that dont get to spend time there to now have an excuse hike and fish the Uintas or just expand your arsenal against the fish. I spend a bit of time there and love the little small holes. The fish might not always be big, but they are plentiful and fun to catch.

[cool]As much as I would like to contribute to this swap I dont think I can do it...

two reasons.. 1. I am not at all familiar with the area or waters that you are talking about so would not be sure what fly to try to tie.. and 2. I am involved in two other swaps that have due dates close to this one...

I do hope you post pictures of the results as is usually done.. Id love to see all the different flies...

I too need to back out...16 is a bit big for my liking and I have a full tying schedule unexpectedly pop up.

Good luck and pictures please!

No harm, no foul. Maybe next time.

Im hoping next time.. its amazing the variety of flies that people tie up.. and when I am able to participate I learn a lot ... so please keep me in mind next time...

Something else I want to put out there, and I only say this because it happened last time for some reason.

I'm not responsible for any lost mailing packages, I have faith in the USPS to do their job, however if they cant for some reason or another read the address to route it to the correct address that is not my problem.

I will be printing the labels for the returning flys so this should'nt be a problem on my end. I suggest you do the same, to make things go smoothly. Pm's sent with my address.

And again respond as quickly asap fot those that have not yet.

Manzquad-

Due to my previous obligation I wont be able to tie and get you the flies in time.
Im going to have to drop out sorry.
[signature]

We have had a couple people drop. As of now the tally looks like this:

1-manzquad, peacock head zug bug
2-?
3-willfish4food, bh prince nymph
4-honer80080,
5-tuffluckdiller, ct mosier
6-barney, bugger of some type
7-doody, parachute pmd
8-muleydeermaniac, parachute adams
9-guns and flies?
10-griff,
11-?
12-troutscout,
13-leechman, re-vertical midge emerger
14-oldtroller, flying ant
15-tkidder, renegade

So the question is, if someone wants to join do you care to tie the same amount, or would you rather tie and recieve less flies? If no one else joins we are looking at 12 flies to tie.
