Jimmy, count me in. Sounds like fun.   George Vincent ----- Original Message ----- From: Jimmy D. Moore To: World Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 9:09 AM Subject: [VFB] REDNECK FLY SWAP I'm thinking of holding a REDNECK FLY SWAP later this year, and I wanted to see if any Rednect VFB'ers, HCFF'ers and FFW'ers would be interested in participating .  Fellow Rednecks Iain Short, Keith Passant and Deb Duran have already signed on for whenever I hold the swap.   Right now isn't a good time for I have the 20 tyer March Madness swap that doesn't end until March 31.  After that, I'd be open to just about any dates. What kind of fly to tie?   A Redneck fly, of course.  In fly tying terms, that would be a fly that is out of the mainstream of fly tying. Maybe a fly tied with "outlandish" materials, like something from the neighbor's garage sale or fiberglass cloth from a boat shop.  There's lots of materials out there that would make excellent flies, like my fly for the March Madness swap is tied using the strands from a burlap bag, (potato sack) for the body.   The possibilities are endless.  The only "MUST" for your Redneck Pattern would be to use the color RED somewhere on your fly. Limited to 20 swappers. Whaddy'all think.  If you're a REDNECK, this is one swap you won't want to miss.  Lemme know if you want to participate, and also suggest a date for the swap.  If there's enough swappers, I'll pick a date and we'll go from there.  If there are two many Rednecks, I'll hold REDNECK - B to accomodate.
