I have organised a few swaps recently and would like to host a final swap ,This is a little different in we will be tying different patterns in this swap

1.Fiery Brown - sooty - received very nice
2.Sooty Olive - benliketofish ,sooty olive variant - received very nice
3.Green Peter - Chunky, GP Melvin version - received very nice
4.Connemara Black - FISHHEAD - received very nice
5.Bibio - john mac,bibio variant
6.Claret Bumble - tack4 - received very nice
7.Claret Dabbler - greenock -received very nice
8.Melvin Octopus - riverdoon - Received Top class flies
9.Golden Olive Bumble - weight forward - received very nice
10.Golden Olive - Trouthunter - received very nice
11.Lough Arrow Mayfly - The Bear, LA Mayfly variant - Tied
12.Melvin Daddy - The Dibbler - received very nice

14.Cock Robin Ruthvenflyfisher ,cock robin variant - received very nice
15.Sooty Olive Dabbler - midlander ,skinny sooty dabbler - received very nice

Now the flies can be the original pattern or your own variant muddlers etc ,The swap will hopefully be completed by 20th December so hopefully the flies will be with you for christmas ,remember and send a sae with the correct postage for the return of flies .If you want to take part add your name to the thread and say what pattern you would like to tie .If someone would like to photogragh the swap flies to put them up on the forum feel free to volunteer your services ,i was meant to send flies to Scratch to photogragh for the last swap ,but the swap dragged on that long i was just glad to get all the flies sent out eventually .
