Winged wet fly swap!!!

[zimtrout]

Hi chaps
well here is a crazy idea, how about a winged wet fly swap?????
Mainly inspired by a certain tiers continual procession of great looking wet flies I could only dream of tying! (I have been practising)
I think the traditional art that is tying these type of flies needs to be preserved....... so, how about 10 to 15 tiers???? let me know if anyone is keen????
I will start the list, please specify the fly you intend to tie, so we don't have too many similar patterns!!!
When we have all the tiers sorted I will set the completion date, please make every effort to get your flies in on time. (It makes getting everything sorted much easier, also please include your SAE, marked on the back with your forum name.....)

Depends on the finish as I would be interested but not until the end of the month for completion.

[paddy5]

Yeah I would be interested also but like Dabhoy would like the completion date to extended as I have a few irons in the fire at the moment . Good idea though I find that tying for a swap or comp concentrates the mind and raises the bar for me. PJ

Hi Zim, count me in. I haven't decided a pattern yet but the vice comes out tomorrow and I'll see what takes my fancy and let you know.

Hard to know if you're being serious or sarcastic.

Not a HARD pattern by any means, no married wings to worry about, and the dimensions are relatively easy to get right.

Here's a few i prepared earlier!

Count me in please, as usual pattern to be advised.

Sorry mate, just reference to such a highly revered fly, one that was once banned from many fisheries due to it being so successful.

The above is me being serious.
