You should limit it to 10 people and put out some simple rules to follow.
Rule 1 have a specific start date. Christmas is not the best time to have a swap. Everyone is busy. So try January.
Rule 2 Post a list all the participants. So everyone knows who is tying what fly and then edit it as the flies arrive to you.
Rule 3 have a specific date as to when the flies have to arrive to you. That way if someone doesn't get their flies in on time your not waiting forever. Just skip them and carry on.
Rule 4 be firm on the rules. Don't be wishy washy.
Those are basic rules to follow.
I'll be in if you start a list for January. I'll tie 10 elk hair caddis.
