Swap Closed.....
It's the end of 2011 so what better to do than recap and start stocking up for 2012?
It's been awhile since I hosted a swap and thought this idea could be fun.
This year you had the right fly and in the proverbial 'zone'. Not just catching a fish here and there, but hooking fish after fish, one after another? I had a few of those times this year and thought it would be fun to share patterns but somewhat secretly.
Are you in?
Here's my idea:
Looking for 10-12 tiers with a proven patterns from 2011; ideally fished in Washington State.
If interested, reply with pattern name and generally what you'd like to say about it. (i.e. 'Awesome trout fly' or 'Slayed them at a Northeast Washington Lake)
For the tiers only, I'll collect any additional information you want to give on the fly via PM. After all the ties are received, I'd then PM back the group a summary of all the information on each fly with as little or as much information you want to give. I might just cut/paste a document to be mailed back with the fly packages to each of you. For me the story or fishing conditions can be equally as interesting as the pattern itself.
Flies due mid January ; Jan 13, 2012. Remember the return postage.
Update: two different flies or 2x same pattern, either way 22 flies
So far we've got:
1.Steeli Mt bucktail (2x) READY

3.Rob Ast - double brass stone (2x) RECEIVED
