First catcherman.com Fly Swap
Seven of our fly fishing members
got together to tie and trade some flies Punkie
and South Platter organized the fly swap and chose a pattern for
each tier to tie (woolly bugger) at the color of their choice. Each
person also chose a favorite pattern of their own choice to tie,
thus each person was asked to tie two flies for the swap.
All flies were shipped in, with toe-tags attached (including name,
catcherman user ID, e-mail, pattern, size, and recipe), and then
shipped out, two per person, getting 2 flies from each person that
joined minus themselves.
To discuss any of the flies you see below, visit the
thread in the fly fishing forum.
The results of the swap are below with the woolley buggers listed
