cavu Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Do we ever do a swap here. Looks like this forum would be custom made for such an event. It could ber specific, such as deer hair bugs, salt water flies or fresh. I'm, not much on tying clasic fresh water flies (Royal Coachmen, etc) but do pretty neat deer hair bugs and my own design of a bass streamer type lure. Postage sure would not be much on a swap like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlystreamer Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Let's see how much interest we have in such a venture at this time of the year. Personally I would like to see a fly swap in the late fall when things slow down a bit. What do you think? It can be done but I think we would need at least 10 participants.

cavu Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Later would be fine with me, especially with the current jig swap going on and the "rumor" of a salt water jig swap in the making. I too would like to see if there is any interest for a later swap on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlystreamer Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Yep, Three swaps in the running right now. Jig, Soft Plastic, and Salt water in the making. I think it might be better to wait a bit. But of course if you have time to tie up some pretty sexy neat looking beauties now, then tie away and you'll be ready for the swap when we have it. Let's shoot for late fall when you need a rest from deer hunting and the cold weather if your lucky enough to get any where you are. Any more suggestions from anyone else?

LedHed Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 I would like to get in on the ?Fly swap? also. Am in the same boat that cavu is (jig swap and up coming saltwater swap). Most of the stuff I tie is small, wet patterns, and attractors. Also tie fly patterns on ultra-lite jigs (this would be a good post ?is it a jig or is it a fly? hmm?). I?m interested in anything custom tied. Late fall would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striperknight Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Do you guys have a set of rules for your swaps?. On sites where expectations not stated clearly I've had some swap disasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadlystreamer Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Do you guys have a set of rules for your swaps?. On sites where expectations not stated clearly I've had some swap disasters. Hello Striperknight, This will be our first Fly swap and when it gets underway, we will have a set of rules to follow. The swap hasn't been given much thought at this point due to other swaps coming to a close at this point of time. We are shooting for the late fall as things slow down for everyone. Stay tuned.

VARick Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 I just completed my first swap on another fly tying site. Is this going to take hold here? My preference would be saltwater .. but I can be flexible with basic freshwater. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badfish03 Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I've done hundreds of swaps and would be interested also. Bass or Saltwater would be my preferences though. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkmson Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 i have not been a registered user here for very long and this thread is unfamiliar to me, although it has definitely caught my attention. i am interested in learning more about this and how i can participate if it is of interest to me. from what i am reading i think it might be a neat thing to do. are there any previous posts that have the details? thanks, mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
