Can't decide what to tie... I have a fly that catches me a fair few fish at night, but it looks like a salmon fly. Would I be breaking my own rules?! {;

[T7]

is it open to any pattern??

Did you want to be included Johnevs?

[johnevs]

would love 2 but i aint going to have time to tie any am working away at the mo so will have to give it a miss this time sorry fellas::/ will defo do the next one...

[laffingravy]

I am really sorry but due to other commitments I will not be able to make this swap. I apologise to all of you and beg your understanding

[T7]

Fair enough gents. No worries!

Right shall we give it a day or 2 more to see if there is anyone else?

If we don't get any more then we only have 5 people, so have a few options. we could either just tie 5 flies each, or tie 10 flies each so everyone gets a back up (useful when the other one gets stuck in a tree!), or we could tie 5 lots of 2 different patterns each so everyone still gets 10 different flies.

I think it would be more worthwhile getting 10 flies than just 5 personally. But would be interested to know what everyone else thinks.

I don't mind tying 10 flies but would rather stick to one pattern.
that's if everyone else is agreeable of course?

On second thoughts, it's no big deal if you want two patterns 5 of each.|\

I'll go with the flow

I'm happy either way as well. Maybe everyone can choose what they would rather do, either 10 of the same pattern or 2 lots of 5...

[squirrelblue]

They look awesome!! Nice one SB. |\

Happy to do 10 guys, but will go with the majority vote basically.

Before I jump in I have a question.
How long do we have to submit our tyings.
Reason for asking? well being so busy with things (work and family matters) would a window of say a couple of weeks be possible.
If so then you can count me in.

Would be at least a fortnight I'd say...
