Fly Swap

[Fishtales]

Not exactly a swap this time.

How about we tie five flies each of the same pattern, everybody ties a different pattern, or size of one already being tied, and we send them all to Stephen to get him started.

Fred will contact each of you who want to participate with an address to send them to and then he will pass them on to Stephen.

All flies to be in by the 19th August, that gives you all three weeks.

I will tie my Hill Loch Nymph on a size 14, anybody else?

Great idea. Let's encourage the laddie to forget aboot these baggie minnins and dae some real fishing!   :lol:

To give variety, I?ll do 6 flies, 2 of each of 3 varieties all size 12 (good all round)

2     Pearly Zulu
2     Black Pennel
2     Silver Butcher

I bet you don't read the instructions on packets either

I said FIVE of the same pattern, what's the use of two if he loses them, at least with five he can save one to show the shop what he wants

Not only that but what is everybody else going to tie now you have monopolised three patterns

[Wildfisher]

I did read what you posted Sandy, but if only you and  me participate he would only have 2 different flies  .  He isn't going to be able to get most of these flies in a shop anyway but they will at  least give him some idea of what to look out for. Everyone should tie what they feel is the best combination for them using their judgment.

[Fishtales]

No problem Fred, I was only teasing hence the smilies.
