Default 2013 Fly Swap Pt.2

Ok guys so luckily Bhflyfisher was gracious enough to let me host the second swap so for this one our theme will be 'Best river pattern' and hopefully we can see all your best river ties!

what your going to need is one enveleope with your 12 flies and then another envelope (self addressed and stamped) inside the main envelope. Pls tag all your 12 flies with your username that will be very helpful.

Plz remember the second envelope with a stamp and self addressed and all 12 flies in the package. I will Send out my mailing info to all who participate after 12 members have been selected. Also! let's try an mix up the patterns so we don't all get the same ties so when you are entered plz post your pattern selection and don't choose the same as another member!

I'll still be in for this one. I have to start working on filling my own boxes again for this next season yet.

Count me in too. I'd like to do a chernobyl ant unless Bushes' foam hopper is too close to that, in which case, I'll do a suede juan worm.

Cheers.

Well I dunno bout that?
I'd be up for a streamer swap at any time if there's enough interest from amongst the 38,000+ other AO members?
I don't think there's any rule that says you have to join them all ?

Seriously....does no one actually read the threads?

Apparently not spending most of the day on the board means not ever getting into a swap?

Seems like a lot of interest in these fly swaps....I predict a part 3 coming soon.
A buddy just gave me a lil starter kit....and I just tied my very first fly tonight. It aint great....but I'd use it. I'll keep practicing and maybe I can join in one day hopefully.

If anyone wants into the swap you can have my spot! I have exams coming up and I could care less if I had another dozen flies to do on top of my other orders. If not I'll tie up a deadly worm.
