Trading different flies ??

[David Lee]

Hmmmmm ... This thread is going in an interesting direction ! Jay Murakoshi said he went to a "swap-meet" a few weeks ago - a bunch of people get together and trade gear/flies/rods , etc. ..

I have a PILE of stuff that I don't need (a SACK of poly dry-fly dubbing in 45 different colors , lines I've never used , extra saddles ...) , I wonder how a swap meet works ?

Darian - I see your point about cutting into Bill's business , but I think swapping flies and things like that won't have too much of an impact on the shop (if you read this , Bill - feel free to correct me and delete this post) . Just a "small-scale" sort of thing .....

I hope the river drops soon , so I can fish and quit thinking about this stuff - David

David,.... You're on the right track . We can keep it on a small scale.

From what I've seen, swap meets are done by Clubs or groups. Haven't heard/seen any fly fishing swap meets in this area, recently....

Well, if I get around to tying and trading a deer hair cicada pattern, Thom'll send me one of his specialities.

Mike...I'll step up for a trade or two...Now who else besides Darian and myself is tying for the May swap? MSP is a maybe...All it takes is 2 to tangle. I'll understand if it's just 2 of us...afterall, warm weather means dust collects on the tying gear. Monday deadline.

P.S. David, glad to read your thoughts. I know you were working all week and probably went through some fly withdrawals.
