Wanted to see if anybody was interested in doing a Fly Swap, 6 to 8 people tyers of all experience are welcome.
I was Thinking a Halloween theme or maybe a streamer theme I don't know we can all figure a theme out but first need to see if we can get the participants.

Me too! I haven't been tying very long but ive been working really hard at it. I would love to be a part of this mostly for the learning experience.
[signature]
I just signed up here to try and get in on this. Not a great tyer, but I am sure I can come up with something. If there is space, I'll play.
[signature]
I was going to ask that too. Everyone is interested in Streamers lately, maybe that?
We can do the Halloween theme if you want, I can have mine done before Halloween.
[signature]
I am in! If that is okay, but i say we do whatever fly you love to fish in fall and late winter

Being a new to tying your bugger comment got me thinking. I knew that there where tons of streamer patterns outside of the wooly bugger realm. Ive seen and used many other patterns.. but your comment got me interested in finding more creative patterns. Man there are millions of great ones out there. I did a ton of google'in! Im not going to copy anything i found..i want to try to be creative. But i did get a lot of great ideas.

There are tons of every category. Sadly, a lot of them catch fishers, not fish...LOL
I say, everyone make sure their fly isn't broken and can catch fish...LOL[laugh][laugh]

Put them in the mail today..
I tested out 2 different patterns on wednesday morning both worked well but the one i chose to tie up for the swap not only got more strikes but casted smoother.
like ive said before I am new to tying.... I did my best and came up with a decent fly and learned a lot in the process.
Its not technically a halloween theme but since i tested it on the Ogden I'll call it the "O-Town Strangler"

Right one cant wait to see & fish them
[signature]
mind one more tier? Sorry im late just stumbled across the thread.
[signature]
Sorry Ive already started to recieve flies from the partisipents it wouldn't be fair to have them mail out another fly. No worries though Ill make sure to include you in the next one.

Actually, if everyone tied SEVEN, he could join. Just means each person wouldn't get one of their own back. I don't mind, I have a bunch of mine. How about everyone else?
[signature]
Its alright ill just keep posted and wait for the next one
[signature]
Its up to you guys, I dont have a issue that
[signature]
It doesn't matter to me. I have my seven, so whatever.
[signature]
I don't have a problem with that. My seven are on there way.
