All the other kids in ninth grade were drawing hot rods and cocker spaniels and getting blue ribbons in art class. I was getting rejection slips from the 'Saturday Evening Post. - Brad Holland
Well, the Turkey Power Swap was more turkey and no power! So here we go again! I have hosted swaps in the past based on flies designed by a single tyer (names like Betters, LaFontaine, Gartside...). This time I'd like to recognize flies developed by the fly design think tank found in West Yellowstone - Blue Ribbon Flies! A few of their patterns are attributed to a single tyer by name but most are attributed to Blue Ribbon Flies itself. This swap could be open to 30 members and we'd still be scratching the surface of their fine pattern output - so we all have plenty of choices of patterns to choose from for this swap.
This swap is open to 6 (minimum) to 12 (maximum) members. Registration for this swap is open until Friday, January 5th and the flies are due in to me by no later than Wednesday, January 31st. When you register have a pattern in mind - first come first served so reserve your pattern early! As always this swap is open to ALL level tyers and if you are new to fly tying or new to fly swaps you are most welcome to join but I do ask you to let me know so I can provide any additional assistance to make you swap experience a wonderful one!
ALL SWAPPERS - remember to include the 5 basic items needed for each swap - your flies each with it's own toe tag, sent in a swap box, with a SASE included (so you get your set of flies back!), all included in your sending envelope. If you'd like to SPOIL the swap host (ME!), please include your screen name on each of the last 4 needed items.
Lastly, and most importantly, HAVE FUN! Otherwise why bother tying flies in the first place!!
