Mystery MaterialFly swap
Lots of fly swaps recently, but thought of a new concept perhaps (apologies if it has actually been done before!) that mght be fun and something diferrent for new and experienced tyers alike.
How it would work:
1)Each participant sends in all the materials needed to tie say 10 flies of a particular pattern they have in mind. Also they email me a pic, or send the fly they tie for those materials
2) I then draw lots and send those materials out to a random particpant
3) Each particpant then does their rendition of the pattern, or uses those exact materials and no more no less to make something new.
4)All flies back in to me and i send 1 of each out as per a normal swap
5) I post pics of each fly, and also the fly the sender of materials had in mind
6) (optional) if we can get some donators of materials we can have a poll for most inventive tie and have a winner. Maybe even just for kudos, as a monthly event (i may be getting ahead of myelf here!)
Think it owuld be great for new and experienced alike to maybe tie something they wouldnt necessarily normally do, and also interesting for people to see what someone else does with the materials they have something diferrent in mind for.
Might help get those creative juicies flowing.
Ten names please?

With pliant rod athwart the pebbled brook,
Silent along the mazy margin stray,
And with fur-wrought fly delude the prey
