Not for the faint of Heart SWAP!

[Trout4x]

I am thinking, notice the word thinking about a swap. 25 or more people with a 2 fly per person making that 50 flies. Any interest in doing this? The deadline would be a few months away.

Let me know by posting. I have always wanted to do a 100 person swap but I need to convince 99 others.


Right now this is just to see who might be interested.


trout4xflyswaps@yahoo.com

[Larry S.]

You got too much damn time on your hands!

[Ouzel]

Lawrence of Logan.
If you did get that many (25) to commit to 2/entry you might then find 100 would be out of the question.
Seems that many will sign up but few will deliver; on time or at all.

[hookem_cookem]

given enough time i think this would be a cool swap. 25 people with 2 flies a peace would be easier than 100 people and a 100 flies.

I would be interested in a 2 fly swap.

[Trout4x]

Larry just think what I would do if I was retired. (LOL)


trout4xflyswaps@yahoo.com

[MWSpearo]

and will make Cheech do it too.

[Jason]

One rule should apply, no griffith gnats, phtails, sow bugs, san juan worms, glo bugs or simple, easy no-brainer un-unique patterns. If I was to participate in a swap this big I'd want to get some cool unique patterns out of it.

[steelie]

I'm in. I agree with Jason though, no easy stuff.

[crimedog]

I think I will just make up my own fly for this swap. haha since I have never tied a fly in my life. It could be very Unique

[Phlyfisher]

If I think of something to tie, I'd do it. There's no way I'm putting tags on all of those flies though.

[cheech]

There's an idea. I can do 100 glow bugs in about 20 minutes. Thanks to the super duper glo bug dispenser. I would definately be in. I might even do my new crawdad.

[Mr. T]

How do I get ahold of a "Super Duper Glo Bug Dispenser" :-0

Have you got a Crawdad dispenser, or is that one in the works! LOL

[cheech]

Mr. T - If you are serious about the Glo bug dispenser, I can show you a way to tie a perfect glo bug in about 15 seconds. It's kind of like Velveeta in a syringe. The Crawdad dispenser is strictly confidential.

[Trouty]

Cheech, I'm serious about the Glo-bug dispenser. I'd like to see it sometime. I've got a great crawdad dispenser. A chicken leg at Strawberry. In about 5 mintues I can have a dozen of the most realistic crawdads you've ever seen.

T4X - I would probably be interested as well. I'm not sure if I could tie anything that Jason hasn't seen before but maybe I could find something he would agree upon.

[steelie]

I use a thin straw, feed a couple of lengths of yarn through, can time them up in no time flat.

[Trout4x]

All that are concerned..

Time frame would be 3 to 4 months, I want to include anybody and everyone that wants to tie, slow or fast. that is less than 1 fly a day. Anyone can do that.

That would still allow good dry fly seasons etc..

[Phlyfisher]

Okay, we get it...3-4 months. Here's a dispenser for you:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2706460474&category=23816

[Trout4x]

That is the idea what Steelie is talking about, I know I wouldn't pay $5.00 for one.


Did I mention 3-4 months?

[mcgx2]

I would consider it, 3 to 4 months seems a little long though. We're talking May!!!

I agree with others...would have to be some unique flies tied.

mcg

[Trout4x]

I am trying to accommodate all skills and speed the time can be changed no problem. Once it is full.

[LIV2FSH]

Finding 25 tiers that would deliver in the home stretch might be tough? Might be a headache for the swapmiester!

I got a couple of patterns in mind!

Later, Bruce.

[Trout4x]

So far.

[walksinwater]

What types of flies?

Dryes, nymphs, wets, streamer, bass?

[Trout4x]

Not picky, the only thing people don't want are Glo bugs and the very simple patterns other than that what ever you want to tie.

[Dennis]

OK 4X count me in. I'll try to think of something unusual.

[Trout4x]

That makes 12, we can pull this off!

[Trout4x]

Before it is called, I am tying a pattern I learned from the MASTER RAW, it is his chain stitched Mayfly, the second I think I will try a chain stitched glo bug. Not really on the second pattern.


I think by the time I finished with 25 I might have it done or I will be out of thread.

[LIV2FSH]

The BWO Pullover and the T-Bur Stone.

Does anybody have these patterns in thier arsenal?

Later, Bruce

[Johnny]

Count me in. I don't know what I'll tie yet, but this is good incentive to get away from the easy stuff. But if do anything with Elk hair it will probably take me until Halloween.

[bner]

.....count me in. Either I have a very short attention span or I just missed it, do we tie 2 different flies or 50 of the same fly. (I am a little slow, maybe dropped a couple times to many when younger.) I will get back on which pattern/s I will tie.

[Phlyfisher]

My first fly I'm thinking will be a bitch creek. I put a little twist on it. I use glow-in-the-dark rubber legs. I call it "the glowing bitch." Still thinking about the second fly. Probably going to be a dry of some sort.

[Fish a fly]

I'm in if it's not too late. I'll do a stonefly version of skip's nymph. Not quite sure on the second pattern though, probably something to do with stillwater.

[Trout4x]

2 flies per person total of 50 could change depending on total participants. The 2 flies submitted should be different patterns.

[MWSpearo]

Is this going to be themeless.

[Fred]

If the two flies submitted were not different patterns, then it would be 100 flies of the same pattern ; )

When are you going to close this one.

[Phlyfisher]

It's 50 flies total. 25 of one pattern and 25 another. Isn't that right 4x?

[mcgx2]

OK, you talked me into it. One fly will be a Rogue Foam Giant Stone. I'll get back to you on the other.

mcg

[Caddfly]

Ok, you got me. I've been saying no from the first, I have waaay too much going on, but "one fly a day" hooked me with the treble hook in the gut. The Red Ass (fly from Costa Rica, orginally from Missouri I believe) and DB Buggers will be my contribution. I have tons of beads left over from tying with Temple Fork Outfitters and I figure I'll use some of them up.

My only question is...T4X, the "Fly Swap??" thread has massive amounts of posts....how big is this one going to get? We're talking at least 1250 flies being put out for this swap...crazy.

Caddfly

[Trout4x]

MWSpearo Yes you can tie any pattern.



Once again if we have 25 people in, @ 2 flies each total of 50 flies, you will send me 24 Glo Bugs & 24 Griffeth's Gnat, which have been banned from this swap that is an example. In return you should have 48 different very cool patterns to use.

Is this clear? If not ask any questions


trout4xflyswaps@yahoo.com

Have any of you seen my bare mustad hook fly?

J/K.

I'll tie one nymph and one dry fly.

[Wooleybugger]

Given enough lead time...........I would be interested

[Wooleybugger]

I may not get your email but count me in :)

[Trout4x]

Just what I have been waiting for! I knew you would join. Five more and we will be at 25!

This is great! This will prepare us to take it to the next level.
My ultimate dream. 100 Fly swap. I can see it now.

[Trouty]

T4X - What happened to Tee? He's always game for a swap. Did you guys have a falling out at the last club meeting?

[Trout4x]

He told me that he doesn't have time last night at the club.

[Johnny]

Trout4X - I saw you called one from RAW. I hope you (and RAW) don't mind if I pick another. I just picked his book up from the library and I really like the chain-stiched rock worm. Besides, that will give me a chance to use up the rest of my green beads. The other one will probably be either an O2 pupa, or something dry.

[Trout4x]

Johnny I don't mind & I don't see any reason why RAW would mind as well. If he did I don't think he would have put a book out.

[Trout4x]

Still room! I know there are a couple of you that really want in.


Jason

If you add some hackle to a glo bug maybe it will be accepted. (LOL)

[Teewinot]

Trout4X -- You SUCK!!

OK I'm in.

[crimedog]

I better get my tax return in quickly so I can get my vise and fly tying materials ;) And since I am going to do a lot more stillwater fishing this year. I will be tying still water flies.

[Trout4x]

5 more is what is needed. 1 fly a day is all we are asking! Plenty of time to do this swap.

20 are in! Almost there.

[mcgx2]

OK, I'm in

Fly 1 - Rogue Foam Giant Stone (Salmonfly)
Fly 2 - Dick's Fancy (Drowned Yellowjacket)

mcg

[Trout4x]

I would have always made room for you. So that excuse will never work for my swaps.

[Trout4x]

Just 4 to go! My heart is pounding with anticipation.

Who will the final four be?

[stef]

20 is my spot. I know it's hard to get into trout4x's swaps, with the limited number of people and all, but no need to get dirty!

Actually glad Trout4X left me off the list, gives me a chance to post again. Number 17 woohoo!! Catching up with you guys :)

Stef -- I think he's just getting you back for blocking him on your e-mail

[Phlyfisher]

Did we ever decide a due date for the flies?

[Trout4x]

Waiting till we close it. I can tell you it will be 3 months. I do know that much. Just waiting for 3 more people.

[jccollier]

...put me on the list. Never done one of these before....think it'll be fun. Are we gonna list the flies that we're doing so we don't double up? Might be a good idea.....I'm thinking of "Yong Specials" and "Zebra Midges".....Just kidding. I'm leaning more toward attractors....Let me know about the rules and all the mambo jahambo.

Also, are we gonna do the recipes for the ones we tie?

J.

[Trout4x]

First of all thanks, we now have 23 with 2 spots to fill. Which we will.


I will mail out the RULES & OPTIONS later.

As far as listing the flies that is your option. If you want to list a pattern to claim it not a bad idea.


Wait till you see my chain stictched glo bug!


Trout4x

[Teewinot]

Really I don't personally think it matters if two people tie the same pattern because rarely are they exactly the same. I had 3 foam beetles in my last swap and every one of them was different.

By the way I wouldn't worry about receiving the rules. Trout4X will givem to ya if ya like it or not. ;)

[Trout4x]

Once again Teewinot is right. From the patterns to the rules.


2 is all we need, my dream is about to come true!

2 is the magic number, just think it could be you to fill the last 2 spots.


2 Spots left

Only 2 spots left.

Don't be afraid, swaps are fun! Once you do one you will never stop! You can learn some cool patterns. Fish with flies that you may have never tried.

Plenty of time to tie what is required!

[crimedog]

As Noah had to keep telling the Rabbits Only 2 Only 2 haha

[Trout4x]

That is right only 2 left but if 4 more wants in that will be ok.

[Trout4x]

I think I will let it go for another week and close it. If you are interested the time is now.

[cheech]

Thanks for getting me in to this MWSucker. I will identify my flies right now. I will tie a trailing shuck midge, and a crawdad.

Cheech

[Trout4x]

Just letting people know 2 spots left. If you want in and this is your first swap and are not sure or nervous just ask.


trout4xflyswaps@yahoo.com

[Don]

What the hell.... I'm in.

[Trout4x]

One spot left. I know who it will be, YOU!

[Phlyfisher]

One more person. Just imagine having 50 different flies on the water this summer.

[Trout4x]

All I need is you! I may have to start up the FLY SWAP DRAFT. (LOL)

[crimedog]

Trout4x I thought I was the only one up at this ungodly hour. now I don't feel so bad.

[Teewinot]

Trout4X sleeps at his computer in case anyone posts during the night, then he wakes up and ties flies for swaps, eats a little breakfast, then goes back to tying flies. ;)

[Trouty]

:>) :>) :>) :>) :>) LOL LOL LOL

[Trout4x]

Teewinot is right I turn my speaker volume up real loud so when new mail arrives I don't miss a post etc.

[Trout4x]

A little on the long side but please read the entire post: Yes even if you are already signed up.






The only exception to the rules that have been set by others in this swap. I would be willing to include YOU, if this was your first swap and are new to tying.

What that means is that you could tie any two patterns that you feel confident in tying, except the glo bug. To make this clear right now we have 24 participants with nobody at this point backing out (right Jason). If we feel the 25th spot this is what would take place.

2 different fly patterns would be submitted to me.

24 red hot pattern A and 24 red hot pattern B a total of 48 flies.
and then in return you would receive 48 different fly patterns in return.

The deadline I am choosing will be May 24 a little over 3 months.
91 Days to be exact which equals to .5274 flies tied a day, which means that you could start and take a break and whip finish the next day and still be on track.

If you feel you qualify for the last spot please make a post and start tying.


If anyone has any questions please ask. I will email everyone "MY RULES"

First thing I need to do is have everyone confirm by sending me an email @ trout4xflyswaps@yahoo.com

Please in the subject header please type "Faint of Heart Swap"
this is the only way I can keep them all separate. Also when you email me please include your UOTF screen name.

If you know the patterns you will be tying please include in the email as well.

I think that will wrap this up, thanks again to everyone for participating, I couldn't do it without all of you!

Swaps are a blast and you do get some very cool patterns back in return.


The Luckiest Swapmeister,

Trout4x

[Trouty]

I thought you were also going to eliminate a few common, easier patterns like Griffiths Gnat, hare's ear, PT, serendipity, Yong Specials, etc.

[Trout4x]

I have except for the 25th person if they want in.

Everyone that is already in the swap which is 24 people the previous rules apply, IF we get one more person that person and that person ONLY will be exempt.

[Trout4x]

Those that are in please read:

I'm in if there's room. This would be my first swap, although I have been tying for quite some time.

[Trout4x]

You are in we had two drop out so we are up to 23. send me an email @ trout4xflyswaps@yahoo.com

Do you know what 2 patterns you are going to tie?

I will compile a list of the ones that have been sent and make a post for everyone.


Thanks,

Trout4x

[Caddfly]

I was showing my friend the swap of bcsort's I got back last week and he said, "I want to get into a swap!" I told him about this psycho one and he wants in. If all you guys are cool with that, we can have that original number. Cool?

[steelie]

Caddfly, I am sure the insane swapmeister will allow this......

[Larry S.]

When did we have to have them done?

July 4th wasn't it?

[Trout4x]

SWEET 25, MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE!

[Don]

Let's get the guidelines set. I'm not to excited about getting 48 San Juan worms, or zebra midges?

[Trout4x]

I will be posting in a minute what people are tying and so far no one SJ worm or a zebra midge.

I think everyone will be satisfied.

Trout4x

[Trout4x]

[Caddfly]

DO THE HEDGEHOG! Man, that fly looked cool...how effective has it been for you around here?

[Trout4x]

Those that have not yet decided what patterns you will be tying when you know please let me know. I will update the list.

I will be sending everyone the rules etc. soon.


Trout4x

[Larry S.]

It's been a killer along with the emerger style.

While I'm here I noticed you mentioned a green butt on an EHC. I too have been doing that for a few years and it works well. Especially when near the end of your drift when you pull it under.

I have been using Krenick(sp?) glow in the dark lime green for the butt.

[jccollier]

I'll be doing 25 @ #16 BH Olive "Fox Poopahs" (already done) and 25 @ " a little fly up my sleave"...J/K...Not sure yet. I've been tying like a possessed madman trying little things here and there. It will most likely be a caddis of some kind or a terrestrial. Let you know when I decide. Will probably be done this weekend...not the best weather rolling in...

J.

[Don]

Well since no one took them I'll tie up the San Juans and the Zebra midges.......

Really I'm not sure, but they'll both be dry flies. I'm thinking baeitis, and Mothers Day Caddis imitation?

[Trout4x]

New list updated.

Thanks to those that have replied with patterns.

Keep tying!


Trout4x

[Trouty]

Just wondering ...... since MWSpearo decided Cheech was going to tie in this - does Cheech get to decide what flies MWSpearo will tie?

[cheech]

That would never work out. I would have to choose zebra midges, and SJ worms so I wouldn't feel guilty.

[Trout4x]

You could always tie the flies for him.

[Trouty]

You're much kinder than I. I would have picked some big, lots-of-steps bass bugs for my good buddy. Come to think of it, my buddy hasn't called me in quite some time ......... :)

[cheech]

That would be a false representation of MW's true tying skills.

[Wooleybugger]

Ok my other fly will be a "wooleybugger" type fly ... that my fishing buddies have named "The Chut"...hey it works...and you will have to determine if it is purrrrtty or not...LOL

[jccollier]

My number 2 fly will be 25 @ #12 Disco Beetles

J.

[Trout4x]

Updated fly patterns on page 7


I will be sending information via email soon.

[RAW]

Any of you going to just go buy the flies from the local shop and then claim you tied them?

[Trout4x]

I was just planning on you tying mine for me. Just let me know when you are done. LOL

[Caddfly]

My other fly will be a parachute royal wulff with a bead. Fly_Fish_Boy, who hasn't posted yet, but registered, is my friend and he will tie a braided larva lace stonefly nymph and a glass prince nymph.

[steelie]

I was actually just gonna buy a bunch of those sweet ones they sell at wal-mart, like maybe ust get a couple dozen of those wet fly 3 pc. assorted packs. As soon as they go on sale I'll let you know what I'm "tying".....

[Dennis]

I finished fly pattern #1-Chans Chronomid. I'll let you know what the other pattern will be later.

[Fly_Fish_Boy]

Thanks guys for letting me in. I will tying a stonefly nymph pattern that has a larva lace braided body. It's pretty sweet. Also a prince nymph that is altered a little that is killer on panfish and trout.

[Larry S.]

Got my Hedgehogs done. Now I will have to learn how to tie a Tarcher Nymph.

[D-Bell]

Trout4X, I know the swap is closed and you have your 25, but if you think you might need a spare, I'd consider tying up Mormon Girls and Mallard Spiders. That is if you tell me you need a spare participant in case someone doesn't deliver for a thousand reasons. Let me know ....

[Larry S.]

Are you going to run down to BYU and hogtie a few? LOL

Actually, a couple weeks ago I was doing a demo at a local assisted living center and met the grandaughter of the inventor of the Mormon Girl. I have to go back and talk to her some more as my memory is worse than some those there.

I do remember her last name was Wilson though.

[cheech]

you better go prepared with plenty o' rope. Even for just a couple of em'.

[D-Bell]

I was gonna use my version of Jack Dennis' receipe. If trout4X wants me in. As for going down to BYU....naah they'd arrest me on site cause of the cigar butt in my ashtray. The Mormon gals I've known had the rope anyways....

[FlySmyth]

I see where this is getting a little crowded but was wondering if there might be room for one more?

Let me know.

Thanks.

Ken.

[cheech]

check out the bluegill swap

[Junge]

Good grief Cheech, now you are poaching from other swaps. Do they have rehab for swap junkies?

[cheech]

this swap is poachable.

[Caddfly]

T4X is the king of poaching from other swaps. Just look at all the recent swap threads and you can see him advertising this one! LOL

[Trout4x]

Need your help.

2 more have asked to join. I will leave it up to everyone. Should we let 2 more in? That would be a total of 4 more flies each.


I will bring it to the jury of 25.

Post your feelings and speak your mind.

I personally don't mind. Cast your vote.

[Larry S.]

..I'm going to cheap out on two new tags. I already have the 25 done.

[Fred]

Okay with me.

[jccollier]

save it for the next swap. The door was shut before the 25. If we keep opening it up, we (some of us) will barely make the deadline.

Safe to say that there will be another swap...quite possibly before this one is even finished.....

J.

[D-Bell]

X4trout en al. I was only proposing that I ty for the swap and be counted in ONLY IF one of the others ....for any of a thousand reasons, can not make it. A SPARE...a spare means a spare, as in running ground spare or airborne spare, or extra just in case, etc. Forget it... I have.

[Trout4x]

If you want to be ready for a back up that is fine, I will keep you posted.

But lets get a few more responses before we say no.

[D-Bell]

Nahhh.. it's OK buddy. Don't want to go where someone doesn't want me. Just trying to help out. Too much I reckon... FOAD to their loss.

There will be others and I'm already signed up for the big Bluegill hoe-down ...

[Trout4x]

I will keep you in mind for my next Mega Swap I have something up my sleeve.

Thanks for the interest, I am sure Cheech & the Bluegill Gang will take good care of you!

Trout4x

[Larry S.]

I got 2 more out of my private stash and the tags don't look too bad. Let me know what you decide.

[FlySmyth]

PS This is/would be my first "swap" and I want to play by the rules can someone help me out with the details?

Ken.

[steelie]

But I'll do whatever. Does FOAD mean what I think it means?

[Dennis]

I haven't sent my flies in yet so 2 more of each pattern is no big deal. Besides, 4X proposed this swap in "hopes" that he could get 25 people in. And now we're looking at 27. This is the "not for the faint of heart" swap. No big deal. He's welcome as far as I'm concerned.

[bner]

wouldn't matter to me, what is a couple more

[Trout4x]

You are in if you want. Please confirm @ trout4xflyswaps@yahoo.com


You are more than welcome please enlist.


Thanks,


Trout4x

[hookem_cookem]

My second fly will be a BWO sparkle camparadun.

[D-Bell]

Count me out. I'll wait for the next swap as several have suggested. Don't want in where not welcomed completely. But thanks anyway.

[walksinwater]

I have no problem with others joining in. It is part of the challange.

[Trout4x]

On page 7

D-Bell one last offer, are you sure? You are wanted by all.

FlySmyth I have not heard from you are you still wanting in?

[Dennis]

I've finally decided what my 2nd pattern is. A "psychadelic P-Quad. This fly is used a lot in Canada but I, along with a couple of guys from Park City, use it a lot on the Provo. It can imitate a scud and also a caddis pupa.

[FlySmyth]

Still very much wanting in.

I did email you late last night.

BTW Can we buy the flyes instead of tie them?

Just kidding.

Ken.

[Trout4x]

Flysmyth you are in! Do you know your patterns?



I will send out "THE RULES" tonight now that everyone is in and confirmed!

[FlySmyth]

My patterns are...

A bunny leech that Dennins taught me.

And a Sow pattern that Buddy at SW taught me. I may have to substitute a Rainbow Warrior instead if that thing gets too tough to tie. I have only started learning it.

Ken.

[Trout4x]

If you are in the swap and did not receive "MY RULES" send me an email.

trout4xflyswaps@yahoo.com



Looking forward to the flies.


Once again if you have questions please ask.


Trout4x

[Larry S.]

I see what Teewinot meant by the "Swap Nazi" label.

[Ouzel]

The way this thing is going there may be as many posts as there are flies.

[Larry S.]

T4x should post his rules BEFORE he announces his swaps. Then we would see who the "Faint o' Heart" are.

Teewinot tagged him well! ;o)
