Hi All, Sorry for this silly question but what exactly or how exactly does this swap work. I'm new to this email list. I totally understand fly swaps but I'm a bit confused on this one.
I buy into a group saddle for $30 and recieve a bunch or just one saddle colour? Then what? I pluck some hackles off and send them in to the swapmeister? I'm totally confused. Also, I just checked out the participation site and it says US residents only for plucking. I'm in Canada. Does this mean I can't participate?
