I can wait until the timing is better, just putting the feelers out.
I thought the hairy was done :oops:
And, the BIG isn't generating much response--
If applicable, will resume later on in Sept.

When you say, "Open until the Sept 15," I sure hope you're talking about the sign up period for joining the swap and not the due date for getting the flies done. :shock:

I've been waiting for a steelhead swap. if there is still an opening count me in. I will probably tie a size 6 or 8 wire body nymph that was super effective for me last year on the trinity. when are they due.

I've always been interested in doing one of these swaps but the subjects were never really my thing. This one is much to my liking, in fact I've been waiting for it. I'll tie the Vitamin D nymph, with some of my additions, which worked real well for me on the American last year.

Also, I am leaving for Alaska today, the Kenai peninsula, I'll be sure to bring back lots of pictures. I will be gone till the 17th. I hope this doesn't impact the swap. I've already tied about 10 flies but will tie more as need be.

Thanks,
Chris Laskodi

This sounds like a good swap, but I'm swapping some vows with a cool chick I know this weekend and then we're going on a wee trip. Hopefully I'll get in on the next one.
I'll be jonesing to do some fishing when I get back, so maybe a few of us could hook up on the A or the Feather near the end of October. David, Slage, Bueller, Bueller? I'll do a post when I get back and hopefully we can get something together.
Dead man walking. :twisted:

Okay, looking good fellas-

I will turn them around as quickly as I get them all.
