Mark Delaney - pattern undecided

Allan Fish - Calcasieu Pigboat

If the swap doesn't get too big, Allan Fish suggested that we tie 3 extra flies - one for the aucton, one for the shadow box and a third set for Byard.  It looks like the due date will be September 15, 2003.  I know that ther are opther warmwater flyfisherman out there...please consider participating in this swap.  Thanks

Previously posted info:

 

As I posted earlier to the list, Tom Nixon, a pioneer in flytying and flyfishing for bass and panfish passed away on May 29th.  Our local fly club (Contraband Fly Casters, Tom Nixon Chapter) holds a yearly conclave (dates are variable, from September through February are possible).  Tom tied and gave demonstrations for free at every one of these conclaves in Lake Charles.  I'd like to host this swap of his fly patterns and ask that the participants tie 2 extra flies.  One set would be for a shadow box for the club, and the other set to be auctioned off.  A list of some of the patterns Tom developed is below.  If needed I can provide a scan of the finished fly and diretions for tying any of these patterns.

This list is by no means complete.  I'm not setting a limit of participants and hope to get a nice group of tyers.  The finished flies will also be displayed at the Contraband Fly Casters website,
