OK let's limit this swap to 10 people. All materials will be from the "donors" package we received in the mail. You can do what ever you'd like... whatever hook... SARE (Self Addressed Return Envelop). I will host and... gulp...photographs the flies before sending them out. DATE DUE Ask Ron. Request by PM my mailing address. Proper Toe Tag on all flies. Anything else we need to do? How do I do one of those post that I can keep changing as the flies come in? Anyone? Anyone?

Ron what date would you like it to be due?

Ariel,
I have had requests for materials from another two- Smuggler and Dwclapp.
If I get my act together and send over materials to them (and Zen leecher), which should take a week to 10 days to get there, that could be your 10.
Due date may have to take into account the materials I have yet to send reaching their destination plus a bit of time for the flies to be tied?

Ariel,

Considering that materials still have to be sent out, end of July? That should allow plenty of time for the creative juices to be flowing and get the tying done. Anyone else have a preference?

I'm very flexible...that is with the swap! Lets wait till the other get their stuff. We might have to extend the numer of folks involved, if that's ok with everyone

The material we are talking about for these flies is the Yarn?

gig, Howdy;

Well, just for those of us that were not at Roscoe, nor received one of those packs........ what the heck was in it?
I may not be able to exact duplicate the yarns for exact shades, but can (have) send yarns of similar properties.
Furs were silver grey possum and ur-em ...... that other white grey one. I think some of you may have been lucky enough to score some ferret fur out of the deal and I am fresh out of Ferret- so the "extras" will miss out there (sorry guys).
Feathers we are looking at Mallard hen and drake?
Anything else??
