Cool Another celebration swap

I was going to suggest this swap a while ago, but the emerger swap and then the nymph swap were both initiated. There are no swaps on the go at the moment, so here's my idea.
A short while ago we did a full circle and returned to our "home" so to speak at Fish and Fly and back under the auspices of Simon Lewin. So I propose as a celebration of that we have a "Fish and Fly" swap. As the name suggests we each tie a fish and a fly, because this is a two fly swap I will limit this to 10 tyers and would set a date for completion of 31st May, that gives us 7 weeks to complete. First 10 names are in, any over ten will be reserves.

We now have 12 tyers for the swap. When your flys are ready PM me for address to send them. Please package in a suitable crush proof container and attach a toe tag with your forum ID on it. Also include a SAE padded envelope.If no one objects I will photograph the flys and post them for all to see when the swap is finished.


Flys due by 18th June

Can you put me in for a CDC fry and a Sparkly Kate?

I cannot promise standards as good as the noteworthies that will be entering but I will do my best.
