Right Guys it's time to get this months swap under way.
Same rules as before.
10 entrants. 10 identical flies. flies posted to me along with a stamped addressed envelope, to cover return postage. I will make 10 sets containing 1 of each fly, and post to participants.
Closing date for the swap is the 28th of Feb.
This months theme, will be variations.
Each tyer is to tie there own variation of a well known pattern, it could just be a wee tweak or a full variant..... your choice.

Right folks.... I am still looking for willing participants for this months fly swap. I will leave the swap open until this weekend to allow enough time for tying and posting before the end of the month. If we don't get it full or nearly full by the weekend this months swap will be called off.

I am sure you are more than welcome.
Come guys, let's have some more names please or Dave is going cancel.
Every Fly Swap I have been in, it has always been a pleasant surprise receiving the envelope through the door

Salmo 65 you are more than welcome to join the swap.
I will add you to the list.
Hold off until after the weekend before tying anything, if the swap hasn't filled up by then, it will be called off for this month.
C'mon guys lets keep these high quality swaps running, it would be a real shame to let them fizzle out.

C'mon folks, it really is well worth contributing,.... don't be shy, it really is a win win situation the worst that can happen is....... 1) You think that the flies you receive back are poor quality, in which case you get a boost in knowing just how good your own are! 2) You think that your own fly doesn't match up, in which case you will have some crackers to boost your own collection!
Joking apart, the fly swaps bring out some cracking ties, and it is always interesting to see different styles and techniques.
Dont be shy, and please contribute!
Cheers Fenton

Right guys it's crunch time for this months swap.
I will leave it up to you.
I am happy to join in the swap and take the number to 5, we can tie 1 or 2 patterns each...
Either that I will call it off for this month, give me your views please.
Dave.
