Default Large Bow River Fly Swap

Wondering if anyone was interested in doing a bigger group fly swap?
I was thinking of about 20-25 people (rather than your normal 12). I am volunteering to host. It can be for either dry flies, nymphs and even streamers. If you are interested in joining add your name to the list.

Sure why not. I seem to be really into tying right now.
I will decide what to tie when we know how many flies to tie

I might be in. I've never been a part of a swap before. Depending on the timeline, I could tie up some bow river buggers...

basically you will tie all your flies and when i gather enough people i will send an email for you to send them in a stamped envelope. inside the stamped envelope will be all the flies and another stamped envelope with your address on it.

when i recieve flies from everyone i will split them up and mail them back!

I have my flies complete and ready to send. As I see a lot of blank spaces of what others are tying on the most recent list, is this swap still a go?

Still waiting for flies from another swap just want to make sure this one is going to happen before I put these in the mail
