I see we have some new members and thought it might be time for another swap.
How about starting this one as soon as we have a dozen interested people?
If you want to take part please let me know.

Me too !!!

I'm in, but whats the theme? Saw one on an american site with a dry/dropper combination, to be fished together. Anyone up for that?? :D
Peter
Im quite happy to wait Pocaman :D It's not been long since the last swap,sure we will get ten eventually.Cheers,Chris.
Keep tying lads.

Chris.
Might be the only way to get some of your flies Steve. Still waiting for the ones you gave to Sid to pass along. :?
I'll keep checking in to see what the rules will be.
Ardbeg

Do wehave a definitive theme or just a personal choice??
Peter

Excuse my ignorance but will that be 9 different flies or all the same. :?:
Thanks a bunch, I'll have to open the envelope now!!! :D :D
Any more swappers out there?? :? it will save even more heartache!!! :lol:
Peter
Cheers Pocaman you should have those flies by Thursday.
Steve could you please send me your address please.
Cheers
Chris.
Received your address Steve,get the flies out tommorow,thank's again :D
Chris.
Keep tying lads.
Look north.
Think I'll pass on this round - I seem to have missed this - and don't want too many more flies to have to be tied :roll:
But count me in for the next one!
Steve,missus sent the flies today,no real theme from me i'm afraid,a bit stereotype,surface film beetle[dry]and black half hog that did well for me last season.Sorry about the finish on the hog's[head]eyes not what they used to be,and that's my excuse and i'm sticking to it.... :shock: :D
Hope they at least catch a few fish for somebody :D cheer's.
Keep tying lads.
Look north.
Chris.
Can you drop me a pm with your address Steve. It was on my old machine. Should have made a note really :oops: .
Steve, any chance you can add the flies being tied next to the tiers name in your original post, so we know who has tied what. I wouldn't like anyone else to get the blame for mine :oops: .
Steve,glad the flies arrive safely as i know there has been a few anxious moments in the past,tier's name next to the flies,thats my credibility knackered :oops: :lol: Thank's again.
Keep tying lads
Look north.
Chris.
F A O Pocaman. I've had the flu this week so i'll need to gey tying tonight and tomorrow and I should get those flies to ya monday or Tuesday. Sorry for the delay.
All done. Should get them away tomorrow.
Flies are in post. You should get them tomorrow Steve. Sid has metioned a trip up to Cow Green next Friday, weather permitting, if you fancy it.
Steve,read some articles in the past about Cow Green,look's a nice big remote water,they say you can walk for miles without hardly seeing another sole.Ithink it's right that a lot of fisher's walk round to where a certain river run's in and the fishing here is supposed to be a hotspot,if i remember correctly,Hope you have a good day :D
Keep tying lad's
Look north.
Chris.

Chris.
Flies arrived yesterday but I'm busy, unfortunately, fitting a new bathroom suite, so it could be a while before I get to try them out.
The quality of all the flies are superb and I'm sure they'll pick up some troot for me.
I'm embarrased to say the olive baetis is mine :oops: . Although credit must be given to Peter Gathercole as it comes from his Bible.
Many thanks for arranging this Steve. When's the next one :shock: .
Getting worried as mine are not here yet :cry: :cry:
All the best
Richy
