Default Beginners Fly Swap

Anyone else interested in a fly swap for us new entrants to the field? Maybe 6/7 tyers (more if interested). It probably wouldn't be practical for me to distribute the flies if most of the tyers were in the UK (I can send £'s for postage costs with my flies).

I don't want to make the theme too restrictive, maybe river flies?

I'll tie CDC & Elks

Any one else?

Tyer Fly

1.....Steve101.......................CDC & Elk
2.....Codenamemilo.................PTN
3.....Fly in mi eye...................CDC
4.....Danielp..........................Tungsten HE
5.....CarperJim.......................GRHE
6.....bigbadtroutfisher.............Pale Watery Paraduns
7.....sonnaghan.....................Plover and Hares Ear
8.....Splashtestdummy............Adams Parachute
9....SharkeyP........................Partridge and Orange or Snipe and Purple.
10...Wye Wizard....................Nymph


Swap is full. Looks like it will be a decent collection of flies.

I'm sure we'll all embarrass ourselves Jim, but not to worry.

Does anyone want to volunteer to receive and distribute the flies. It would be impractical for me to do so since I'm in Ireland and everyone else so far is in the UK?

I know nowt about river flies (other than PTN and GRHE, already taken!) so I'd best give this a miss. Will look forward to the next beginners' swap. Best of luck to youz,

Neil
