Exclamation pike fly swap

would like to do a pike fly swap. 10 tyers or so as I know they're a little more expensive but remember you get an equal amount back.

Clousers will work it seems for any species.

I was going to do Pike Poppers but I think the bulk would kill me on postage. So I decided to do this one if this swap gets off the ground.

For anyone that is interested, but apprehensive...I did my first fl swap with Crawad organizing and had a great experience. He has proven himself trustworthy and organized in my books!

I organized a pike swap last time and the flies and quality of them were excellent. Would join this one but not time for tying lately.

OK, I'm in. Will tie up a classic red/white clouser, 'cause red/white has always worked at Wabamun.

What timeline are we looking at, end of February or into near mid-March?

I dropped off the flies last night. Please advise if we add more tiers to the swap, I can get the remainder completed if required

Thanks again for such a great job of organizing these swaps
