Caddis Fly Swap-First time tiers welcome!
Jan 2^nd, 2011, 11:48pm

Just a few more months until our friend, the Caddis will come back and play. The hatches in the early Spring are something to behold. Everyone can use a caddis dry, pupa, emerger or larva in their fly box. If you've never been in a fly swap, this might be a good one to start with. First, just post and agree to participate. Do you research into the flies you'd like to tie and tie them. A toe tag is a small piece of paper with the fly name and recipe on it. Put it in a mint tin (eat the mints first), add a self addressed stamped envelope with the correct postage and mail it in. In a week or so, you'll get your tin back in the mail loaded with cool flies that will work great this Spring.

I'm working on your swap as I type. Still room for a few more. If you've never been in a swap, this would be a good one to get your feet wet on.

Looking forward to something we can fish together on one of our sojourns. Still room for that new tier who has been wanting to join a swap but wasn't quite sure. Caddis are fun and (for the most part) fairly easy to tie. If more are interested, we'll accept names until the 7th. Thanks Jim
