THIS SWAP IS CLOSED

The rules for this swap are basically very simple. The tier must tie a fly that he/she has caught TROUT on while fishing either the upper or lower Kern River. ANY FLY you choose (that has caught trout) dry, nymph, emerger, wet, you choose. Each tier will tie 10 flies (10 flies of whatever pattern you chose) and get them to me by April 1st. When sending your flies please enclose a self address stamped envelope that can be used to mail your flies back to you. As always, please add a toe tag to your flies and send them in a crush proof container of some sort. Below are the names of participants and flies they will be tying:

Converted ROBO PT Nymph
NervousWater   parachute hare's ear
Ibrb   TBD
fishinXJ    Kern River Emerger
Phelps Bros    rubber-legged copper john
fflutterffly   The Fox Tail Squirrel Nymph.
Eric2    Pheasant Tail Nymph
Wiredog      double bead pheasant tail nymph
haramic       parachute Royal Wulff
Troutinator      TBD

If you haven't chosen a pattern yet, please decide and let me know so I can update the info. Also, when you're ready to mail your flies I'll PM you my address. LET THE TYING BEGIN!!!!!!

If we're all still in, will May 15th work for everyone for having your flies tied and mailed to me??????

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me alone.

There is a setting on Photobucket that allows you to determine the utilimate size of the file. Set it smaller.

Or select the smallest size to view and copy the address for the smallest size.

Or before you import the picture into Photobucket, reduce the image size in a program like Photoshop to around 640 pixels in one dimension.

JSo I'll ust have to remember to use the auto from now on thanks shane
