i've not done a swap before but if one of the experienced fly swap hosters could pm me the rules i could host,

we could have river or stillwater flies -whatever the group would prefer, thanks.

[lee majors]

count me in, i will do some buzzers for the swap

[mot]

I'm up for a fly swap, I'd be happy to tie some black diawl bachs that served me very well last year. let me know how many i need to tie and where to send em

[Anjinsan]

I would like to take part please.I would like to tie some of these may fly thingys, if they are acceptable.Only been tying a couple of weeks.Sorry about poor pic.

Way hey!

I'm in. I'll have a go at some Pearly Invictas. Wet winging technique needs a bit of practice... and hen pheasant tail isn't the easiest to work with... so this is the incentive!

(What am I doing!!?!! Oh, what the hell...)

Give us a shout about the deadline when it's been set. A couple of weeks would be appreciated!

If you still need it, there's some guidance on how a fly-swap might typtically be run, here: How fly swaps work

looks like there is some interest- shall we limit to 10 tyers?

any themes?

or shall it just be open?

happy to try klinks/ PTN nymphs/ GRHE/ or fritz lures myself

let me know your thoughts
thanks,
neil

[shpeil]

Think limiting to 10 tyers would be a good idea.

All the flies suggested so far could be stillwater flies (even Anjinsan's tasty looking mayfly - I always thought they were found on rivers only, but seems the Irish loughs have legendary hatches of mayflies too) so you could make that the theme?

[neil26]

ok- so hows about 10 tyers, stillwater flies theme, deadline 2 weeks?

let me know if thats ok.

[gelert]

if there's room count me in.
i'll tie some welsh patterns.
