dam its dead on here. anybody tying? ha, when we swappin again?? themes? im waitin on my new boat (8more weeks arggh!) and ive almost lost my mind
I still havent recieved my flys from the last swap
that sucks. someone dropped the ball with that, come to think of it, i never recieved a few either. you never got any flies mailed to you?
I did the first flyswap on here and it was a huge pain in the ass…trying to get 12 people to do something seems easy but it is not. I haven’t participated in any of the other flyswaps after my experiences with the first one. With that said, when is the next one and who wants to organize it?

I could be in after next week. Heading to Harkers on the 11th-14th, so I am pretty much in albie tying mode right now.

i agree about it being a pain. the last one worked out well where we all met somewhere and exchanged. something like that seems to be easier than getting everyone to the post office/etc, but also, not everyone could make it. any sugg on how to make these things run smoother? i work at a bar, everyone could drop off/pic up there, or at the angler.
I will (hopefully) be in on this one - I’ve sat out the last few.
Its fairly simple really if everyone just sticks to the deadlines. I screwed up and had people mail self addressed stamped envelopes. The flies were to bulky for just one envelope, I ended up coming out of pocket a few bucks buying the little bubble mailers. I think someone did send me some cash with their flies so it wasn’t much money. the thing to do as the organizer is to get everyone to send $x amount of money with their flies for return shipping and packaging. Wouldn’t be more than $3 a person honestly.

thanks CaptFritz.
ok, i will try and run this one. How about a Dec. 15th deadline.
Limit 10-12 people. suggestions on a theme? bonefish, bass, shad? topwater? baitfish? what ch’all wanna tie??
scotty d,
What we have been doing is having a monday night fly tying group. I know it sounds a bit ghey, but listen. Shadowgrass, madmike, Myself, and a couple of the other guys from the angler have been getting together and watching football with our friend al-co-hol and just sharing ideas. THe first week we did some of mad mikes flies and did bonefish sliders. Two weeks ago we did gurglers and surf candies. Monday it was just me and mike and we turned into a chinese factory and manufactured 16 crease flies (that look ■■■■ good). We’re trying to keep it limited to serious tyers who are leaning toward being advanced tyers. Anyway, I have been meaning to reach out to you, we have a couple of wayward mutual friends (trublue and fisH20) so let me know if you are interested.
man sounds great. shoot me an email, Im in the mtns until tues, trout bummin it. but count me in. scottydalaska@yahoo.com
Hey toothless, I have some killer surfcandies and deep candies I would be willing to trade for a couple of crease flies:smiley:.
