    Default February 2009 Saltwater Fly Swap

    February 2009 Saltwater Fly Swap

    The theme for this fly swap: Baby Charlies.

    Here are the rules;

    1. You can tie any BABY CHARLIE.
    2. Participants are limited to 15 members.
    3. You are required to tie one fly for each participating member, one for yourself and one for the flyswap master.
    4. The flies must be mailed before 28 February 2009.
    5. List your name here before 15 January 2009 if you intend participating - please be serious and committed about it.
    6. On 15 January 2009, the total number of flies you need to tie will be posted here.
    7. Mail your flies to:

    Saltwater Fly Swap - Feb. 2009
    Attention: Wiets Wilken
    P.O. Box 90
    Isando 1600

    8. Package your flies properly so that it's not damaged in the mail.
    9. Get a mail tracking number and post it here once mailed.
    10. Remember to include you forum name, proper name and return address.
    11. Do not worry about self addressed envelopes or stamps - I will take care of that.

    Notes
    1. Flies go missing in the mailing system, it's vital to get a tracking number and post it here the moment you have posted.
    2. Members not delivering after committing will be banned from all future flyswaps I may hold.

    Enjoy!

    Hi Wiets

    I would also like to participate.

    I just have 2 Questions.

    1.Baby Charlie - Is this ebasically the same as any normal charlie just under a certain hook size?

    2. Do we have to nominate what type of baby charlie we would like to make so that we don't all end up making the same fly?

    Regards

    Rudolf

    Hi Wolfie

    We held a poll for which flies are to be tied for future flyswaps. The Baby Charlie attracted the highest number of votes. To answer your question, I think that it is a small version of a Crazy Charlie. Perhaps other members can enlighten us more about this.

    The flies will mkost likely be similar, buit it is highly unlikely that they will be identical. No, you do not have to nominate the fly you intend tying.

    Regards

    Hi Dave

    The next flyswap will most likely be for a "Ruffy".
    But tell us; "What exactly is a Ruffy?"
