Exclamation chronomid fly swap

Last fly swap went well and everyone seems interested in another so lets give it a try. I'll try and get my math right this time. I didn't end up with a set of the last swap, just a few extras guys sent in.

I'm in. I have a pair of flies that I call my Pulp Fiction Combo, comprised of Samuel L Jackson and a John Travolta. They're an easy tie so I'll include both in the swap.

I'm wishing I tied flies. I'm still a newbie to fly fishing. Maybe next year for me.

I did probably 30-40 fly swaps on the Fly Tying Forum over a 3 or 4 year period http://www.flytyingforum.com/index.php?showforum=24 In most of the swaps the swappers didn't get their own fly back. That covers the swapmeisters flies.

All swaps I have been in required swappers to put toe tags with their screen neame on them, on all flies so that every participants will receive flies that they can identify.[/QUOTE]


This was a nice touch

Default Barb or barbless..

I normally use either barbless or mash the barbs of the hooks I tie on, but for this occasion you can do it yourself if you wish. I hope that's ok..

In the last swap I mashed down the barbs on my input but noticed that 90% of the returns had the barbs, so I'm not going to debarb this time and folks can do what they like.

If you're able to go back and edit this post I would recommend you remove your phone number. We are all 'friends' here but other less desirable elements on the internet might stumble across it and could find a way to make use of this sort of personal information.
