Hi Flyman.
Have done a few swops.Usually around 10 people involved,all tie ten the same, send em in to organiser with postage and you get back 1 each of the others.
Usually a certain fly is tied or variant of.
Me,i do mostly small/medium size stillwater trouting.
Just interested really as to if any swops went on.Can be interesting.
I am not a brilliant tier,they catch me fish so that's all i'm interested in really,however some of the guys are artists

I have organised a few swaps on FFF and enjoy seeing what people use in other parts of the country.

If enough are interested on here I would run it.

Mentioned before, that it would be interesting to try local flies from different places. I tie about 8 flies I use constantly on the river, 5 wets and 3 dries, which catch the whole season through, but I also like the Tieffi Terror( I hope that`s the right spelling), which I believe is a Welsh fly. All tying the same flies, seems a bit pointless, I`d much rather try a new fly altogether. I think it`s a good idea though.

Hi guys

Im up for this once my fly tying skills get a little abit better plus need to buy a few more materials to make different flys.

I have been practicing tying lures like gold head fritz i know their easy but had to start somewhere.. now im trying different colour epoxy buzzers (im getting there) i lost a trout on one on sunday, it liked it that much it took off with it never to be seen again so they work.

cheers mitch

Try coating your buzzers with Sally Hanson's hard as nails.Allow each coat to dry and give em about 3 coats,will sink like a stone

Hi chub1 I have been using clear varnishing and coating them about 2-3 times

I will get some hard as nails and try that thanks
