If you weren't, that's okay, you can still be in the > swap. What this swap will be is your version, variation, enhancement, > improvement, alteration- whatever you want to call it- to that pattern. > Classic dries, parachute patterns, caddisflies, etc. are all welcome. I > would like to keep the size range from 12 to 16. For those who use the > rope-dub in their patterns, I'm planning a rope-dub pattern page for my > website, and your flies will be shown, if you allow. For those who use > Wingers, again I'll use them with your permission on a Whiting feather page > I'm planning also. > > If anyone wants to tie up the Adams, and does not have cree hackle to do it, > let me know and I will send you some to complete the swap. Just let me know > the size range. Also, if anyone ants to use Wingers for their versions, let > me know if you need some, and what color/size. If you would like to use > cree as a variation in a different pattern, let me know and I'll send you > some for that. > > I'd like to limit this swap to 15 tiers, with another set going to Byard, so > that's 16 flies. > THe standard swap rules apply- a box, toe-tags, and some return postage. > The deadline will be April 30th, unless extended- need to get these flies on > the water for spring fishing. :o) > > And one more thing. The tier of my favorite fly of the swap gets a mouse. > > Any takers? > > DonO >
