Haven’t done one in awhile, and while it can be tedious to tie the same 12 flies. It’s always cool to see some of other peoples “fish catching” patterns, and get fresh ideas. Would anyone be interested in doing another? Would be capped at 12 people and can decide on species/pattern after we gain enough interest.

Google or look on Instagram for the Flybrary project. It will allow you to do it more frequently perhaps.

I would be in if y’all do it for the stupid redfish.

[flyclimber]

I would be down for a fly swap.

I still haven't thrown one of your flies, from the last contest....

I'm in if y'all will accept alphlexo's instead of ep body crabs.
Edit: If it's reds, I have a better pattern than an alphlexo. would you guys prefer bead chain or dumbbell eyes?

I’d accept, the redfish can be snobs so they may not.

How much time do we have on this swap? Thinking i would like to do it but between orders and fishing Utah/Wyoming for 10 days next month not sure if I will have the time over the next month.

 

[Dave Nickles]

I am a very new rookie to tying, but I'd be willing to give it a shot. I just did a swap with 6 folks in Georgia, but rather than everyone doing the same fly they had each do their favorite fly. That way each participant got 5 different pieces. I did a modified Lightbulb that worked out pretty well, but if you guys choose something like a crab or complicated pattern I'm afraid m not skilled enough for that yet.

I think about a month or so should give everyone enough time. Once we get it filled.

I think he was saying tie 12 same of your own pattern that you have luck with ... so maybe a one off clouser pattern? Something simple but often effective...

 

[jay.bush1434]

I'm in. I will tie a modified EP spawning shrimp pattern that has worked well for me in West G bay on redfish. I will start tying them tonight or tomorrow so they are ready. Donovan, I can just bring them to you if you are hosting or we can go fish and I'll give them to you then.

If that's the deal, I am in. I have a few that I can tie fairly well that will catch fish

 

[dbrady784]

Yea, capped at 12 people so you are tying 11 of the same pattern and sending them to me, and then I distribute them back to everyone.

 

[MatthewAbbott]

I’ll be sending in a crack-ish pattern like this.

 

[AZ_squid]

I'm in, I have a pretty sweet little redfish pattern I've been playing with.

 

[dbrady784]

So everyone’s agreeing on a redfish pattern?

 

[flyclimber]

I can whip up some redfish flies.

EDIT: I usually tie stuff on the smaller side. Flies that land really soft.

 

[AZ_squid]

So we're thinking the swap submissions will be due in a month?

 

[dbrady784]

Yes once we get enough people.
