The world famous Mc Nerney's minnow Larry!

 

[dean_mt]

Yes, I'm in. The date sounds good to me, too. Pattern TBD, I have to find something nice.

I like the date, too.

 

[Pocono]

I'll play on this one; probably a variation on a streamer version of the Milkweed Fly, tied on a #14 hook.

After raiding my neighbor's field last Fall, I have plenty of milkweed for the wings!

Pocono

 

[latshki]

Im in, Ill be tying a little bit of good ole PEI
Ard, if ya want some lobster you may want to jump in on this one

 

[pab1]

Glad to see the interest in this swap. I'll tie Slumpbusters.

 

[mudbug]

I'm in and if it's OK with Mark I'll tie my version of the marabou wing streamer he showed in a recent thread of mine where I was looking for small minnow patterns for my 3 wt. (I love this thing).

If he was thinking of tying that then I'm in for a Matuka.

 

[s fontinalis]

Im in for cats whisker

 

[wt bash]

I'd like to get in. I've been playing alot with the smaller 8 to 12 sized streamers. If someone could outline the rules or how it works I'd like to tie up my variation of the Hardy Demon.

There is a guidelines post at the top of the Fly Swap forum that explains how it works. Sounds like there will be some great patterns!

 

[wt bash]

Cool breeze, a baker's doz of #12 Demon variations it is!

 

[smalliesrule]

I'd like to get in on this one also.
Not sure what I'll tie, but I saw a cool looking one on Charlie Craven's site yesterday. I'm thinking a Collier's Vanilla Ice

[flytyer123]

im in with a black wooly bugger

 

[wt bash]

Gentlemen I'm sorry to say that I will have to bow out of the swap. My tying days will be put on hold as I just got off the phone with a friend who got a set of rough and finish planning forms and theres already a few culms dried so I'll be annoying him until the bugs start popping.

 

[flytyer123]

Id like to change my pattern to a black and red Furled Dubbing Leach in size 10.

Tight Lines,
Austin

 

[aroostookbasser]

Sign me up!!!!!!! Pattern TBD!!! will post it in 24 hours. Time to get back into swaps!!

 

[peregrines]

Great guys-- this one filled up fast, you're all in. With 13 participants if everyone ties up 12 flies you'll each get 12 back (1 from everyone else, you won't get one of your own flies back)

(Mudbug that marabou pattern is all yours) .

Wt bash sounds like you'll be building some cane-- I'm sure folks would love to see pics as you progress through the build if you're wiling to share share.

 

[mcnerney]

Mark

Put me down for a Squirrel Leech pattern.

Sounds interesting, Larry. I can't wait to see these patterns. This will be a fun swap. Thanks for the idea Pab1. Maybe this spring we can fish some of these together.

I'm still looking for a pattern...I'm thinking about a bucktail...but haven't found anything yet.
