Re: [VFB] New Years Swap - Slow going...

[Ken, Carolyn, Alex and Hershel]

You're probably having difficulty getting people to sign up because I think there are too many swaps going on at the same time.   Many people are also spending their time getting in some end of season fishing.   Interest in swaps will likely pick up in the next month or so as the temperature drops.   I'm in one swap and right now that's all I can handle -- I need to spend some time fishing before the snow flies.   -Ken-   ----- Original Message ----- From: Joshua Barnett (CF) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 08, 2002 10:43 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] New Years Swap - Slow going...  bp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: Still quite a few openings in this swap... How come no one wants to join? I've seen two swaps fill since I posted this. I've noticed the same thing last time I posted a fly swap. Do we have a bunch of "clicky People" who cater to only a few of the regulars on the list? I've hosted a couple of swaps now and they were a lot of fun with some great flies tied by those who joined. But I have noticed that certain folks can fill swaps in a day when others get ignored... has anybody else noticed this? This swap is really cool because you can tie just about whatever you want... and only 20 flies. Mayflies, terrestrials, streamers, buggers... whatever... lets fill this thing... must I issue a DARE or CHALLENGE to you folks? details - http://www.graysharborcomputer.com/flyfish/newyear.htm Bill P.
