Just putting some feelers out here. Would anyone be interested in participating in a fly swap for carp flies? I'm getting antsy for the Spring and something like this would give me something to do.
I'm thinking at least 10 people, with 10 flies tied each. Let me know if you are interested and I will put it together if there are enough people.

Great! So far that puts the list to:
1.ironrod
2.thebug
3.flygoddess
4.lucabrasi
5.flyfishingfool
6.MatchT
7.EddieFish
8.ChrisTheFish
I'll wait a bit longer to see if there is anyone else who wants to jump in. I'm no pro at tying myself, so don't let that hold you back if you are considering it.
I'll PM all of you with an address once we have a set list. We'll keep it 10 flies and if no one else joins I'll just split up the flies evenly for the return. Any other ideas just drop me a line via PM or on here. Thanks!

ChrisTheFish, if everyone sends "NINE" that means everyone gets one of their own back.
You can keep MINE (and maybe others will agree) and make a Carp box for a special drawing or something like that. I will even send 12 so you can put 4 in the special box.

Oh Man! I was hoping for some extra flies! [cool] Actually, I just didn't think about that, so I am glad you pointed it out and the drawing for the extra box sounds great. I suppose we could maybe even send it to the first person to catch a certain size or weight of carp this year. Then again, maybe the drawing would be a bit more straight forward.
