Fly swap ( 1st of 2011)

[meluvtrout]

I think we should close it now as we have 12 bodies. My hands already started to hurt just to think about tying 24...

Ya, umm, count me out, lol, I have too short of an attention span for tying multiple flies.

A swap i do on another fishing website does 50 people befor it closes

It sucks doing that many at once.... I'm skipping it this year.

Could somebody make a list of the people making flies?

 

[Growbug]

I'd like to have this buttoned up and all flies returned by the first of March. We can take the next two weeks to get a head count before we get to tying.

12 already? We better start tying NOW

If we do this in groups, let's say 6 in a group then many more could play.:think:

OK. The way it sits now, we could have 2 groups of 6 (10 flies max) or 3 groups of 4. (6 flies max) Can you see how that would work? All Dan would need to do is randomly split up and send off the flies pertaining to each group.

 

[Growbug]

24 Flies in 1 month?? Do-able

 

[Drew9870]

Mark me off the list, I'm usually pooped after tying 2, lol. Maybe next time, I need to restock on supplies anyways.

 

[FishFinger]

Great turn out, I think 12 is good for the tiers choice. Would you all rather just make one fly per?

If we still feel like tying more we can have another swap right away.

I'm thinking the BWO parachute..... but still not decided

Cancel the BWO I have something much cooler. i am going dry tho.

I'm glad it's 2x per....I need a couple dozen to work the kinks out.

details to follow

 

[FishFiddle]

I'm good with 2 per as we have almost 6 wks. Whatever floats your fly., boat, line, etc.

 

[ninja2010]

hey, is it too late for me to join?

word of warning... i don't tie flies, my intruders are more like dead chickens that will eat your flies in one gulp.

 

[OnTheFly]

Question,,,are we tying one spacific fly or a variety?

 

[Irishrover]

Great turn out, I think 11 is good for the tiers choice. Would you all rather just make one fly per? looks like we down to 11, so 10 flies each?

If we still feel like tying more we can have another swap right away.

What ever the group wants. But I'm OK with two per person.

You just can't get enough from that new vice can you..

 

[markasd]

I can do 2 each... was hoping we all tie one pattern, that way we all have the same batch? thats how I was thinkin' it worked?

however you all want to do this works for me.. your all gettin' the same one from me though!

We should do like dry/wet/lake/nymph/summer steel/winter steel and pick a catagory and let each person call a pattern or just leave it as catagory and if there is 2 of the same patten they will vary by person..

 

[GDBrown]

You're really trying to make this complicated aren'y you, eggs.

Yes - would be good to know what everyone is thinking. If were tying for trout OR steel OR free-for-all!!
