Foam Swap

[Ben Kobrin]

Not much action down here lately...probably slow because of the great weather and great fishing. Anyone interested in a swap? The only rule is that foam be used as one of your materials. Because the fishing is still hot, I thought we'd make this relatively small with a generous due date. How about 10 people and a November 1st target?

OK I haven't swapped in awhile, and never on this board. Not sure yet what I'm going to tie, but I'll let you know. Thanks for doing this. Mike Borba

[Ben Kobrin]

Thanks Mike, happy to have you join.

...also, TMS is jumping in with a "Sponge Bob" Caddis.

Wow, most fly swaps I've participated in filled up in one day. So far I only have to tie two flies. I'll tie a foam Humpy. Mike Borba

I want in on this if we get enough people.
I'll tie a foam bass fly that I came up with about ten plus years ago.
How many do I need to make? Ten?

I'll join in with my "Orange crush" it is a great little foam fly that has caught some monster slab bluegills and bass. Would probably work on trout too but I mainly use it for gills.

[Ben Kobrin]

RAS and Scott, thanks for jumping in. It's taking longer than I thought to fill up, but we just might get there!

My favorite foam flies are terrestrials...and since this is a smallish swap, and they are pretty easy to tie, I am going to tie an ant, a beetle and a hopper. I will call it the Terrestrial Trio.

RAS...yes, you tie 10 flies if you want one of your own back. If not, then you only need to tie 9.

I've hesitated all this time to join this swap because I'm not much of a foam guy but I do want to support anyone willing to put in the effort to host a fly swap on this board. So, I'm in! I still need to figure out what to tie, though.

You can always sustitute deer hair for foam, I personally wouldn't mind myself.

Scott, I really appreciate it but I will happily stay within the scope of this swap and tie with foam. I'm thinking a cute foam grasshopper pattern.
