Default Klink'n'Dink swap

After a good day fishing the Duo/NZ/Klink'n'Dink style today I thought maybe I ought to host a swap.

I'm not sure if people would be up for tying an indicator type fly AND a weighted nymph OR the choice should be open to one or the other. I'd prefer it if we end up with a mix rather than ten nymphs.

What do you think guys and gals?

SharkeyP

Count me in. My vote is we should tie both a klink and a nymph. See what the rest say.
I'll do an olive klink and an olive nymph.

I've never done one of these swaps before, so I'll give it a go...
I'll tie up a dry indicator fly and a nymph for the swap!

Count me in please. Under the circs it should be one of each surely. I'm happy to do two. However, I'll go with the flow.

Chris.

I wouldn't mind a crack at this, I'd be happy to tie a klink and a dink.

Cheers,
Jay.

Think I may also be up for this, sounds like my sort of swap.

I would be in favour of 5 drys/emergers and 5 nymphs and I would personally do tan klinkhamers and tungsten beadhead PT nymphs.

Mick.

SharkeyP- Olive Parachute Emerger & GRHE (Completed)
La-Jolla1- Parachute Adams and/or a pheasant tail tied wingcase over a gold bead (Received)
Mick7662492- olive klink and an olive nymph (Received)
Woz- dry indicator fly and a nymph
christy27-JT goldhead ptn/standard klink (Received)
Ride the Zephyr- Klink and Dink (Received)
Paddy5- Oppo & Hare's Ear (Received)
Sabsman- Tan Klinkhamer & Tungsten Beadhead PTN (Received)
Flytier07- Pink Klink & Black Holo Buzzer (Received)
Tidy Fishing- Adams & CDC PTN (Received)
Burhan- klinks with pink posts and hot spot hare's ear(Received)

That's now ELEVEN tyers, each doing a Klink and a Dink. I think we have to close the list at that.

I'd like to add an extra set for CFR if no one objects, so that would make twenty four flies for each person to make. It's a big ask I know so I'll leave plenty of time. Shall we say a month from today to send them off. I'll PM my address to you all in good time.

List now updated.

SharkeyP
