Default Softmouth Series Swap - New Season River Flies

New Season River Flies Swap (extra flies donated to an auction fly box for the WTT / Softmouth Trout and Mr Trout's Cancer appeal).

Click the image to open in full size.

8 fly tyers each tie 12 flies.

The techy bit: tie 10 of the same core flies + 2 'specials' of a different type for variety (the specials can be any type and allow for a bit of flair or fiddly trickery that you might not want to tackle 10 times).

Start date 5th December 2010 – End date 26th January 2011. SWAP NOW COMPLETE!

Level loosely described as intermediate but all welcome, quality being the aim.

The Tyers:
1. Splashtestdummy - Done
2. 1973Dereks - Received 31.01.11
3. Tafftastic - Received 26.01.11
4. Christy27 - Received 11.01.11
5. Squeeks - Received 26.01.11
6. DuttonTom - Received 19.01.11
7. Buzz - Received 29.01.11
8. Troutbumnathan - Received 29.01.11
9. Core fly - Auction for Wild Trout Trust / Softmouth
10. Core fly - Auction for Mr Trout's 'Let's TACKLE Cancer' appeal
11. Special - Auction for Wild Trout Trust / Softmouth
12. Special - Auction for Mr Trout's 'Let's TACKLE Cancer' appeal

Knew you'd be in Taff, so popped you on ... most of the usual suspects have confirmed via PM, Chris can't do this one.

Still some spaces.

This one's set now - participants will notice that the game is tweaked slightly (as discussed and agreed via PM) to include a donation to Mr Trout's 'Let's TACKLE Cancer' appeal.

Happy tying - better get moving if you want to tackle the Nymph comp as well .

Hi Toby,

Flies done, but will wait to the New Year to post given all the delays.

Good stuff, you're obviously well sorted and on top of things for Christmas - all presents bought and wrapped as well I trust ?
