Any interest in a fly swap?

ditchdoctor81 · 08-27-2009, 12:00 AM

I know of a few other fly fishing sites that have done fly swaps with pretty good success. I was trying to see if we haveenoughinterest here to do one. Even if we have as few as 4 or 5 people I think it would be pretty good. If anyone is interested reply or PM me & we can start working on the details.

I'm in as long as it's not for a couple weeks... my buddy borrowed my vice and I won't get it back for a couple weeks...

Is there anyone else interested in this? If we end up doing this I would like to have a few more than we have interested.

I am interested, but it'll be pretty difficultfor me to commit betweengoing to schoolfull-time and three part-time jobs. I'm also afraid that I might not be able to contribute a whole lot to the group.

You can count me in. Like Captain Clif, I'd be curious about the details but it sounds like fun.

I've had a few PMs asking about how a fly swap works.We set a limit of participants. Each person ties 1 fly for everyone participating. Mail them in a small flatrate box from the post office (shipping cost of $4.95) to me with an extra $4.95 to cover the return shipping of your flies you will be getting. Once I get everyones that is participating I will divide the flies & mail them back out to everyone. So that everyone involved gets 1 fly from each person. Example, if 10 people are in it you tie 10 & get 10 back.

So for about $10 you can end up with10, 15, or20 flies, depending on how many we can get to commit.
