I was thinking about starting a foam fly swap and was wondering how many would be interested.Im looking at 2 flies each and maybe 12 tiers.let me know if there is any interest.
Lets make it official.
Foam fly swap with up to 12 tiers doing 2 flies each(22 flies).They need to have foam in there some where.Lets have a due date of April 15 (tax day).All normal swap rules apply.I will send out address when it gets close to time.
I'll have mine in the mail today. They're sort of a Furimskiy's Caddis. They're also the first foam flies that I've tied and among the first flies I've tied period. None of them are exact copies of the original, but I'm sure they'll all catch fish.
All - My sincere apologies for sending the flies late. I had them ready to ship early last week but have been inundated with other things i.e. move, potential job change etc. I will send them out today, WABOWMAN you'll have them on Saturday.
All flies are in,packed up and to the mailer!Thank you all for a great swap with some awesome flies!I tried to get pics but my camera wont focus in on them.If someone can get some good pics and get them posted.I would be greatfull.
Thank you,
Mike
I am really impressed with everyone's ties! Sorry mine are the crappy ones out of the bunch. At least the Raccoon variant adds some variety. It's a good midge pattern on the lakes. I should have mentioned that.
Thanks Cabo Wabowman for running the swap and thanks everyone else for the nice flies. I look forward to getting them wet!
Got my flies in the mail today, and I am very impressed with the quality and variety of the patterns submitted by this group. Thank you everyone - now, onto hot summer days and casting large dries at the banks....
I dont think any of them were cheesy or bad ties.I was impressed with all the ties and were great!It shows some great ways to use foam in different ways and give tiers some ideas on ways to use it in their tying.We always judge our own harder then others.
Ok,I have been notified of a screw-up at the shipper.There is one person out there that is not going to get their flies.Two of them were sent to one person.If you havent got yours let me know and i will get this fixed.
Ok,we will give it a day or 2.I have 2 people that said they didnt get theirs.Once i figure it out i will get them to the rightfull owner.Sorry to who evers they are.
