Hi folks, I have a couple of Ideas for swaps
1. A crab and Shrimp swap 2. A crawdad and Leech swap This swap was broached a while ago but did not get going 3. A Swap Swap either with a theme or not where everyone picks a pattern and the meister scrambles them up and tells each tyer what they are gonna tie. This might be a great way to open our horizons a little bit. 4. A mudbug swap (damsel and dragonfly nymphs) Any Takers on any of these I'll Meister one or two and maybe someone would pick up the reins on others? Mike M. Folks; There is some interest in three of the swap Ideas so I am going to open them up and get them going. I will meister them unless someone else would like to pick up the crwdad and Leech (Pete?) We will try for 10 - 15 tyers in each and I will set a March deadline for flies. Swap 1 Crab and Shrimp Patterns Swap 2 Crawdada and Leech Patterns Swap 3 Swap Swap Right now I am going to leave the patterns open. The chosen Pattern should be somewhat unique but not a hugely difficult tie. I expect tiers of varying degrees of expertise and I want this to be fun and educational. If you can provide a picture reference with the pattern this would help immensely. The Danica website could be a great resource for this. I hope that we get the tiers for these swaps because I think we will generate some very neat flies Mike M.
