OK swappers…the last one turned out great so I think we should keep the ball rolling.
I believe that fly swaps are a perfect opportunity to improve our skills as tyers. In my mind, this means going outside of our comfort zone and truly challenging ourselves to do something that we may not be comfortable with. For this reason, the general rules of this swap are:
-Open to the first 8 who sign up.
-Please sign up to tie something that you either haven't tied before or something that incorporates a technique or material that is new to you. I’d like this to be a learning experience for everyone involved. I think it would be great if along with the fly you are going to tie, you told us why it qualifies for this swap.
-No other rules….it can be a dry, nymph, streamer, bass bug….anything you want, as long as you are trying something new!
-Due date is March 15th.
I’ll start the ball rolling:
My all time favorite fly is the Yellow Humpy. The problem it that I have never been able to tie them to my satisfaction. I try one or two then give up because I can never get the proportions right...they just look bad. I have a hunch that by the time I tie a bunch for this swap I’ll be much happier with the way they look.
