Re: [VFB] A Swap Question....

[Larry JOHNSON]

Byron:  I am tying a "hybrid" fly for the caddis swap now.  It's a cross between a caddis and a Stimulator.  Very effective pattern, by the way.  A lot of my working flies are standard patterns with a variation of color, or material, etc.    Larry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/20/02 10:59PM >>> Hey hey, I have an idea/question......has anybody ever done a hybrid type swap? For example, what if everybody tied the rear half of a fly (just made something up), and then sent it to another swapper to tie the front half. In other words, it would be completely up to the swapper tying the front half as to what direction they wanted to take the fly! And then we'd have a set of completely new flies....and who knows, some of them might even turn out to be awesome. Has anybody ever done such a thing? It would definately not be for a tying purist or somebody with no creativity. It would take a group of people who want an interesting challenge and want to have fun! Major creativity folks. So has anybody done such a crazy thing? Happy tyin,' Bryan Laing
