I see no reason to chop this off at 13... If more want to play that should be just fine...
Will have Grayling post the rules and dates... art

Well I think I will set the fly-in date sometime in early April.
Does that sound good?
Also will you label all of your flies with the name and the fly type. That would make it much easier for me.
Thanks, Riley

I'm in if there is room. Ain't sure, was thinking Ausable but that has been taken. Perhaps another Wulff (White), foam Hopper (assuming I can get the stuff in this town), or my own creation I call the Patriot.

I agree with Sitka, there's no reason to quit at 13.

I was assuming the cut-off, for ease of management, was the same as HG's dozen. Looks like we'll not need me as an alternate; but, AKG- call on me if needed. Don't include me in the recipient list, as I only tie, don't fish, so cannot make use of your efforts. But I'll try to tie a BonusFly for y'all. How about a bonefish fly (I have good reports during the CA shad runs, too)?

Im cool with more fly tiers.
Mac - I wouldn't object to any bonus fly should you feel like tyin' one up. Bonefish yes. Someday I will cast to one.

Fishkilla, I think Steelhead just volunteered to whip up a few dozen tarpon flies for you.

I gotta a couple of drop dead saltwater patterns. No tarpon patterns, so to speak, them big minnows never turned my crank. I do like the juvenile tarpon though.........

Tomorrow..............grin
I'll continue to be undecided right up to the time I start tying. It's all about what "moves" me that particular day..

If you forgiving folks don't mind, I'd like to switch myself to a full swapper. I have a friend not long in the flyfishing game (but who has become a deft tier) who might appreciate getting the swap's assortment passed along to her. (I won't push my luck by asking for my old number back ) 1. AKGrayling - Lewis Lunker 2. Bow92 - Griffith's Gnat 3. Castandblast - Still deciding... 4. Hunterbug - I'm thinking but probably a soft hackle peacock 5. Couesdeer - BWO thorax 6. Qtip - AuSable Wulff 7. Sitkadeer - stone fly nymph, exact tie to be determined 8. Fishkilla - conehead sparkle bugger 9. Houndgirl - undecided 10. Ned - Undecided 11. Troutfly - Bow River Buggers 12. Leftybolt - V-rib Golden Stonefly Nymph 13. Steelhead - undecided 14. macrabbit - Bonefish Killer I also queried a trusted fisher about the performance of the BK. Besides being a killer sight-cast on the bonefish flats, the fly has succeeded as an attractor/streamer thingy for surf perch and for shad; and he tells me that it is of a type with some other sparse flies he takes to Alaska for salmon and that the BK will go along next trip. So I feel more comfortable tying it for the swap, knowing that it will be a usable fly.

macrabbit It is real easy here to change your number and there is no reason why you cannot get fully into the swap, especially after your initial offer. 1. AKGrayling - Lewis Lunker 2. Bow92 - Griffith's Gnat 3. Castandblast - Still deciding... 4. Hunterbug - I'm thinking but probably a soft hackle peacock 5. Couesdeer - BWO thorax 6. Qtip - AuSable Wulff 7. Sitkadeer - stone fly nymph, exact tie to be determined 8. Fishkilla - conehead sparkle bugger 9. Houndgirl - undecided 10. Ned - Undecided 11. Troutfly - Bow River Buggers 12. Leftybolt - V-rib Golden Stonefly Nymph 13. macrabbit - Bonefish Killer 14. Steelhead - undecided SInce 18 isn't available I am sure steelie would still like to have a bigger number... And this number is guaranteed to you right up until someone else decides to change the order! art

I think a good due date for the flys is mid April. How does that sound to you guys?
