Default Grasshopper/Cridket Swap

Thinking about a Grasshopper/Cricket swap partly on the back of the Belgium (lhomme) Bun's SBS, partly because of the Ashes, partly my forthcoming Dapping practicals and partly the summer.

Looking for trout catchers which could be impressionistic or close to realism.

Looking for ten tyers prepared to tye eleven flies including the extra one for C&R and if popular going to thirteen flies in total (bound to be one or two that haven't seen the thread that want in). If not quite as popular will be restricting it to a minimum of eight tyers with nine to tye. Other than that I am going down the pub.

For lots of reasons I would like this swap to be over by 13th Feb that means all flies to me prior to that date.

Dabhoy has already said yes although he doesn't know it yet.

So that's two down (me and him) so far.

Don't bother with PM's I can sort of count here.

It'd just meant to be a fun tye - no prizes.
