Bill, it usually works along the lines of 12 people sign up by saying "I'm in".Then you tie 13 flies of the same pattern and send them to the person who started the swap with a prepayed self addressed envelope[like a bubble-pak one].A time limit is involved like 2wks-1mth with a "DUE DATE"[this sometimes becomes an issue] to get them to the swapmaster.Then when he/she gets all twelve sets of flies the swpmstr fills the return envelopes with a fly from each of the twelve.the extra flies are sometimes donated to a raffle[if one is going on at the time] or the swpmstr gets them for the work involved.The fly "to be tyed" is determined at the beginning.
