I'm game! Sign me up. probably a flatwing of some sort. :eek:

[teflon_jones]

I'm in. Some sort of streamer pattern. Does it need to be saltwater, or can it be freshwater?

[ruge13]

I guess it doesn't matter, at least not to me.

[sped]

I'm not great but I could do Garside Gurglers.....I see that there is only 3 of us....let me know if it's a go.....Sped

[ruge13]

I see no reason to close it, so far, still on. If it's 3...its 3.

[loon]

OK, Bunny-tail Cinderworm flies.

[dcobbett]

I'd like to get into this swap with a pollack fly that I've been working on.

[sped]

We need a few more........Loon....just got back from another trip to EV City......trailered the boat there for 10 days of fishing.......it was fantastic.....DIY style......Sped

[loon]

Sped, good on ya...did you try the quarry?

[sped]

...I can't remember where that is.........camped a couple night on a chickee deep in the Glades....it was spooky......caught snook, reds and spec trout among many others.........I've got some spots now.....having my own boat was supreme.........sorry for the thread hijack everyone......Sped.

[Jim Miller]

sooo.... how many guys do we need to make the swap work? I'm ok w/ 5 or 6..... but does it work. Is deadline still Jan 30th or do we try to find some more participants and move the deadline some.

Hey VTloon.... do you guarantee those Cinderworm patterns for RI in May? :brow

Guarantee ? Sure, no problem.......(you can treat this guarantee with all the respect it deserves).

[Jim Miller]

Todd..... i can't even comprehend how much respect I have for a cinderworm pattern tied by YOU! :)
So..... does that mean that I might catch something? :brow
(pilot error aside --123-3 )
May can't come soon enough :-%

[ruge13]

Still Looking for more....

[loon]

So, are we in, out, on hold, dates holding? Have to plan my busy schedule....not!

[sped]

In or out?? I must say I am amazed that no one else wants to jump on board........when I did the one last year it was like X Mass getting that envelope full of sweet, sweet flies......Sped

[Jim Miller]

??????? Shaun....are you still organizing this.

[loon]

Looks like this one "died a' bornin".

[ruge13]

Sorry guys, I have been flat out with work or away traveling. If you still want to keep this going its cool with me, I don't mind doing it. I closed the other as asked but this one has at least a couple more people in it so what's the verdict?

[loon]

My vote is get 9 or 10 or drop it; it's the Post Office/packaging logistics that is a pain. But, if others want to go, I'll stay in.

[Jim Miller]

I'm out.
Usually someone takes charge and organizes these swaps. I don't have the time right now.... and it doesn't seem anyone else wants to. Maybe try towards March/April when we are gearing up for the season?

[dcobbett]

Whatever the majority wants to do is fine with me, but I'd like to know what the decision is within the next day or so.

[dcobbett]

Sorry, but I'm out as well.

[loon]

I'm out. Maybe later.
