[VFB] Atlantic salmon/steelhead swap

[Ken, Carolyn, Alex and Hershel]

The steelhead are running -- and the fishing season for Atlantic salmon is just around the corner -- time to check out some new fly patterns.   Or if you want to get a look at Iain's collie dog -- sign up.   Deadline for flies to be received is April 4th.   To ensure a good variety of swappers -- I would like for you to tie a fly that could be used for either atlantic salmon, pacific salmon or steelhead. Many steelhead patterns can trace their roots to Atlantic salmon flies and now some steelhead flies are making their way east -- e.g some common patterns used for both are general practioner, bomber, muddler, alexandra, winters hope and mickey finn.   No double hooks please -- and no weighted flies.   Anyone interested?  Many of the swap now running will soon be over.   Perhaps some people are scared off by the number of flies they would have to tie -- so I'll restrict it to a dozen swappers.   Ken MacGillivray Coquitlam BC   1.
