Hi Everyone I'm the new boy in here so please be gentle on me Some of you no doubt know me from the SFF forum and I recognise some of your names. More talk in the future but I have been Sea Trouting at night and Salmon at day for the last 3 days so with 6 hours sleep during that time I'm knackered. Tied a quick couple of the McPhail Piglet Shrimp Variant with a Ice Dub UV hot Orange thorax. The left fly is a size 8 Gold VMC LW and the right one a Partridge code P size 8. What hook would suit best? Pictures and tyeing are crap but the Cotes du Something are having an effect.

So I go away for a couple of days and folk pull out. I guess that's the nature of the beast and the reason why Dave was happy to let me run this big swap, he must be tired of pull outs.
Dean, you could tie 12 of them in your sleep. Stinger, wo betide you, you were put forward? PTG, I was looking forward to your offering.
So, now, I have some great flies in my hands. 12 of each. 1 of every pattern will go to you if you get yours to me.
Since I have 12 of each so far I would like to keep it as a 12 fly swap which means 12 entrants.
I Need to find 3 tyers who can produce 12 identical flies in 2 weeks. That's roughly 6 per week, and just less than 1 per day
Post "Yes" and you're in!
James Casey, are you interested?
Ade
PS Nice one Steve, looking forward to seeing your flies

Shame about the cancellations, Stinger especially as I've got a good record with his flies!! Must be another 3 able bodied tyers out there ready to make up the numbers surely?? I was relying on getting a dozen flies to last me through to at least September.
