I saw on the fishnhunt forums a fly swap. I was a few months late of the entry so i missed out but thought it was a real neat idea. From what i've gathered people choose a theme for a fly e.g. "hot and heavy" and make a fly based on those ideas, then send them to the other forum members. I myself haven't much experience and only got back to tying recently and think this is a good way get back into it and enhance ones skills.

So is anyone keen for a Fly Swap?

Its a great idea, I have seen it done with lures too. 

Here's some basic rules for the swap, they can be changed or tweaked but this should get it rolling...


-Limit of 10 Fly tying fluff chuckers AKA Entrants

-Each entrant to make the same number of fly's ( 10 entrants = 10 fly's )

-Each member to make the fly's to the design agreed apon, but with their own flair.

-All fly's are to be sent to a FLUFF SWAP MASTER. They will then be divided out ( 10 lots of 10 fly's ) and sent off to the entrants. 

-Fly's are to be posted to FLUFF SWAP MASTER with a self addressed, postage paid envelope.

-Make sure you complete your fly's by a agreed date.

Make it as complicated as you like LOL
