Default Summer dries swap

Hello All. Been itching to do a swap and need to add some flies to my dry box, so here goes:

Lets do river dries/ emergers. Any size and pattern. Whatever floats your boat. I'm going to do a sz. 18 olive paraloop. Funky.

10 participants including myself. Get your flies to me (10 of them) by Friday, 13 June. Make sure to include a container for shipping the flies back in as well as a self addressed, return postage paid envelope. I will send you my address via PM when you confirm that you are in the swap.

Swap is open to anyone - you don't need to be a pro.

1. Me (olive paraloop)
2. Zonkers (dogsbody) received
3. Edenangler (Griffs) Received
4. Gus (yellow owls) received
5. Gazmeister (cdc n elk)
6. Diawl Bach (olive dry) received
7. Greenock (cdc fly) received
8. Garethl (klink) received
9. Fishwife (loop wing duns) Received.
10.Haggis Boy (CDC n' Elk). received


I promise not to store the flies in any sheds prone to burning/ robbery/ other acts of god.

Mike,

Put me down then. If summer dries are what you want, summer dries are what you will bloody well get - I'll lash some Griffs together!

Well done Mike, please reserve a place for a a simple but effective dry olive pattern from me on a size 18.

So ........ definitely not destined to fill a gap in the Caerphilly fly market you say?

Please put me in, I will look through my books and find a suitable pattern as my blobs need a lot of gink.

No. But some of my lot will probably be lost in the waters/ bushes around Caerphilly!
