Hi Everybody,
With all of the recent discussions around synthetic dusters as a material, as well as the article on them in Fly Tyer, I thought a swap might be in order. I thought we'd keep it pretty simple and give people ample time to experiment with them, especially if you haven't used it before. FYI - These are the synthetic/"all purpose"/static dusters you can find at Dollar Stores, discount stores, and the home sections of supermarkets and big chain stores. Here's an example of a pattern tied with it:

Swap Guidelines (more details later):
Due Date: May 7th, 2005 (Saturday). This should give people time to experiement and tie.
Pattern: Anything you want as long as the primary material is duster fibers. You can do an all duster pattern as well.
Other info: Full details will be sent out off list when the swap is full.
OPTION: If there's interest we could do a "co-op" and include some material with each fly for others to try out. We can discuss this.
