OK , Saltydog tried to get a fly swap going on the fly fishing forum. I don't think that many peopple saw it so I'm putting it up here. Saltydog is still running the swap if that's OK with him. If not , I'll do it.

So far from the other forum we have
1.SaltyDog
2. Alex T
3.Jaiem
4.Saltheart
5. Smokey
6.Dave L
7.Steve L

We need 3 to 5 more.

Fishpart , you should sign up and make the high contrasts teaser.

to the top

Just to add that these things won't be do til like march or so. Plenty of time to actually do the tying.

I'd do it if I could but I have promised myself and my wife that I won't try to do everything this year...

To give you some examples, I've fished for a while with the old simple teaser but in recent years have gone to more complicated fly teasers. FW gave me a few at the beginning of the year that were great. BobBike gave me a few at last month's MSBA meeting that are SWEET too... Another thing to learn...

Hey "The BetterHalf", be happy that they don't have FishingRodSwaps...

OK, ten people, everyone builds 10 rods and we'll ship them out in 2 weeks :eek: Oh, the horror....

This year I may actually try to flyfish, then I think about tying flies and teasers ;)

Giant Pumpkins? There is no Giant Pumpkin Charlie Brown...

OK , Fishpart is in with a high contrast teaser.

We would like 2 to 4 more people.

You don't need to be an expert. The whole point is to get ideas from other people.

I have no idea what a fly swap is but if it has to do with tying count me in I'm new to fly tying but I am having a ball
So send me some info and I'll get back to how ever

Bob B.if your feet aint wet U aint fishin

OK , Bobbike is in. We want 1 to 3 more.

Details will be posted here.

Hey swimmer - how about you?

BobBike - I might scan a few of the ones you gave me and put them up on the board here. They're gonna get some use next year!!!

I'm a newbie but I'll give it a shot ;) Please don't ask me anything fancy. deceiver or surf candy, i can do. :D Let me know the details.

Ok JCXX you are in. You choose what you will make , just let us know so we don't get a bunch the same.

So we have ten guys. We'll see if we can't get a couple more for an even dozen. Actually if we all tie 12 , we can have 13 guys. If we all tie ten we can have 11 guys. Lets leave the sign up going to include everyone if we can but with 10 guys , we got a pretty good swap already.

We have 10 , we have room for 3 more max.

Oh BTW , I posted this on the flyfishing forum but might as well put it here too.

I'll be doing the graded fly/teaser pictured under my name. I call it a graded teaser.

Saltheart, ;) THANK YOU, QUESTION, are all the fy fishermem, hanging out over here! NOT NICE, you guys should be back on the fly page.well thanks again, "GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN"

SALTY,
I'm not a fly fisherman, just a teaser tyer......I guess the next few hundred :eek: I save up could go for a fly rig....................

Mike,

Can you email me the details of the when and how, and quantity? I will make a blue over white surf candy (I have had goodluck with stripers and blues ) email is jcosico@crf.org

OK Joe.

Are we bottoming out here at 10. Ten is plenty.

Saltydog , you got to post particulars about where to send them and an exact deadline date. March 1?? You decide and let us all know. Thanks

Count me in................

Loved to, actually.


It is better to have fished and lost than never to have fished at all.

Swimmer

If there is still spots available count me in for the Fly swap. I could tie up some spread flies if no one is doing those. ;)

OK Sammy makes 12. If everyone ties a dozen , we can swap with 13 guys so we got room for 1 more then that's it.

Not to sure if I'll have a doz3en of any one fly but I sure will have a mixture ;)

Thanks
Bob B.if your feet aint wet you aint fishin

All the same is best but we'll take what we get. Yopu still have a long time to tie a dozen all the same Bobbike.

Ok still room for one.

OK Here's the list to now

1.SaltyDog
2. Alex T
3.Jaiem
4.Saltheart
5. Smokey
6.Dave L
7.Steve L
8 Fishpart
9. Bobbike
10.JCXX
11. Swimmer
12. Sammy

So when's the due date? And where do we send them?

Good questions Jaiem. We are waiting for Saltydog to get back to us with that info.

Was left up to my own devices yesterday evening and I am 6/12's of the way there......

That's the spirit Fishpart. Everyone can start tying a dozen now and that way will be ahead of the game when we get some details from saltydog.

Oh BTW Fishpart, if you want I'll show you how to put nice eyes on them and epoxy the heads. Get the 12 done and we'll see about getting together for a little session. I have everything needed at my house. The teaser you are tying looks really good with a holographic eye and an epoxied head.

Sounds good to me.......

:eek: SORRY GUYS, I just got back on line, had to change e-mail server to web page e-mail an when I changed address john gave me a NEW password an could not get on line w/the page. THANKS TO JOHN Im BACK. If everyone would like to rest for the holidays an get them to me by JAN4 I can get them out MONDAY the 7th hows that sound? PLEASE, PLEASE put in a GOOD package.

P.S. THANK YOU SALTHEART for posting on the page. ILL be here if anyone has any QUESTIONS
"GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN"

SALTYDOG,
I think that some people are under the impression that we have till March to get us through the holidays......I doubt I can finish in time to have them to you by the 4th....

You must be a real go getter SaltyDog! :) Most of us will need all winter to get our stuff finished as Fishpart mentioned. Maybe due to you in early March ?

I have half of mine done already ;)

However, I agree that Jan. 4 is a bit short on time, given the holiday season. And March is way too long also.

How about Jan 11 of Jan 18 instead?

SaltyDog,

I got my 12 tied do you want them now or is it easier to send them to you after the holidays? Do you also need seperate packaging sent for our return or just include the postage and return label and you'll use the same package to send us ours ?

Sammy

Part of getting people to sign up was the stipulation that they had plenty of time to tie them. I actually threw out March when asked and I believe thats how we got 12 people to sign up instead of 4. Jaiem and Saltydog got a whole store full of flies :) but most of us will have to tie the dozen just for this swap and the next couple of weeks are all tied up with holidays , etc. Maybe March is too late but I think we should be thinking a month or two , not a week or two.

Saltheart
posting at Smokey's house

:( SORRY Im ahead of the game, I can wait till MARCH !
"GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN"

OK so we send them to Saltydog at the address listed due in on March 1st.

Here's a couple of suggestions.
1) individually bag your twelve flies/teasers. That way they don't get tangled and damaged and they are easy to sort.
2) include a self addressed package with postage already paid for shippping back to you. That makes life easy for Saltydog.

I was tying some specials for the swap! ;)

3/1 is fine for me. Wasn't trying to rush anyone.

Happy Holidays.

SALTHEART, I just finished 3 outher fly swaps got some NICE flies for next spring .:rolleyes: hope everyone had a good holiday,
"GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN"

ok i'm in for march 1st. 10 blue over white candy for me :)

No Joe , 12 not 10. There are 12 guys now.

;) JAIEM, got your flies today, an got a package from SAL, also,
but! SAL who are you one the list?:confused: Ill be here checking them in, 'GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN"

Half way done, I'll be mailing mine to U Salty in a couple of weeks or so
One dozen Glass Minnows Olive over White size 1 hook

thanks
Bob B.




if your feet aint wet U aint fishin

Saltydog,

Sorry for the confusion the package from Sal is me (Sammy).

If any of you fellow Fly Fisherman are interested check out www.flyfishing-fly.com. All they have for the salt is Decivers but they are on sale for $1.00 each till the end of the month. I got my order today, the quality is A++. You can't go wrong, cost more then that to make them.

:smash: SAMMY thank you for cleaaring that up.Ill check you OFF.
"good luck good tyin"

bump

:happy: SWIMMER, got your flies today. thank you.
"GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN"
P.S. still plenty of time.:happy:

I'm sending in 5 sets. Smokey , Steve L , Dave L , Fishpart and mine. I'm suppose to get the last two dozen on Friday. I'll mail them to Saltydog as soon as I have the last two. All nice ! I got the two squid ones from Smokey to add to the spare dozen for the auction.

Saltydog , who's do you have already?

:happy: in so far-
1.saltydog
2.swimmer
3.jaiem
4.bob fom weymouth
5.sal.
guys if your sending in please try to put your HANDEL W/ your name so I can match up names w/handles w/flies.
thank you. "GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN":D

I have 12 ready to go. Bit because of logistic reasons, I was only able to do a blue over white deceiver instead. Please accept my apologies for this. This batch will go out today. :)

No problemo Joe! We'll take what we can get!! :)

I now have 4 of the 5 i was waiting for. I think I'm going to send in the 4 and the last person will have to send in theirs direct to saltydog. He is having an epoxy curing problem.

I'll make a call tonight. Depending on what I hear , I may send out the 4 I have tomorrow.

Mike,

I mailed them out already but I mailed them to Salty Dog's address. I hope that this was not a problem-- I thought he was the one receiving and processing them. It was mailed to flyrod outfitters address.

Yes,you are suppose to mail to Salty Dog. I'm just collecting them from people I see a lot and mailing them to Saltydog all together.

OK , got an email from Dave L yesterday and his flies are done. he will bring them to saltydog at his store. I will mail out the other 4. You should have them by Sat or Monday the latest Saltydog.

Looks like everyone is accounted for except Alex T. Anyone know him and want to email or call him to see if he's in or should we go without him?

:happy: IM posting this on the flyfishing page also in ase you look there. got another package today from joe cosico an dave laplant stopped in an dropped his off at the shop. so keep 'em comming. "GOOD LICK GOOD TYIN":happy:

Just for the record Joe Cosico is AKA JCXX ;) :)
