    I can wait until the timing is better, just putting the feelers out.
    I thought the hairy was done
    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.

    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.
