Would there be any interest...

[Guyz-N-Flyz]

in a fly swap for novice tiers, just beginners, not so good at it--yet, and the
non-seasoned tiers?

I will be more than happy to host such a swap, if there is any interest beyond, say, 9
folks. Should 10 or more folks decide to participate, I will post rules and regs.
similar to those of past pro-swaps concerning dates and what-not. I figure anything
goes: drys, nymphs, streamers, whatever one might attempt to tie?

Anyway, if anyone is even remotely interested, reply back to ROFT. I figure I'll give
this a week to either work or fall flat on its face.

I'd be in for sure.

Dan from the Chicago 'burbs, who's been reading this group for a couple
years. Slightly better (maybe) than a beginner.

Why don't you join the GFS? Hell, Mark - look at the first couple of
entries I made to swaps. They weren't that great, but tying 50 of
anything is bound to make you better at it. And getting flies back that
are tied by the really good tiers is certainly inspirational. I'll bet
I've learned more about tying from participating in the swaps than any
other source, both from the tying itself and the flies I receive.

I figure that it is possible that there are some folks out there that would like to do
a swap, but aren't comfortable enough with there entries to join a swap with so many
excellent tiers. Like I said, this may fall flat on it's face, but it could also get
someone that might otherwise not desire to tie flies motivated. Who knows, this could
very well become an annual event. I foresee a world in which there are novice tiers,
intermediate tiers, and expert tiers with the lower levels moving up the ranks over
time--I have a dream--DON"T SPOIL IT! :~^)

Should I awake from this dream with only me to send flies to myself, I will wait a
while before I attempt to enter another pro-flyswap.

Besides, though I have never seen any of your flies, I bet the only thing that would
ever put it's mouth around one of your flies, lives in a world where they have to
breath dissolved oxygen!

In my dream, all the tyers of the world are united in one happy family
of man, where no tyer considers himself better than the others. We all
live in perfect harmony until (and this is where the dream falls apart
and spirals into horror) one of the f*&^ing flies gets stuck in a
f*&^ing tree and then the killing starts. :(

Well, if you go around killin' every tree that you lose a fly too, the propere

You're absolutely right that tying up 50 of anything would definitely make
me a better tyer (at least on that pattern), but while this group is very
freindly, there is a certain sense of, uhh, dunno, maybe "fraternity", that
makes it a bit intimidating. That's NOT meant to be a "dig" on the group --
it's just that many of you guys have been around here for longer than I've
been fly fishing, let alone tying.

Besides -- who would want a CDC and elk tyed by a beginner? Other than maybe
another beginner?

Dunno, but if the "novice" swap happens, I'm in.

Ahhhh. . . then let me be the first to welcome you to the fraternity.

I can't speak for anyone but me, but I enjoy seeing people's tying at
any level, and it's fun to see it evolve as swaps mount. I had the same
reaction as you when I joined my first swap, but I found the other
swappers generous and helpful - every one of them. Look at the first
swap I entered: http://gula.org/roffswaps/swap.php?page=DD2002&id=6 and
tell me if you can pick the newbie's fly out without peeking at the
name. I sure can. ;-)

> Dunno, but if the "novice" swap happens, I'm in.

Also, don't get me wrong - I think a swap like this is a fine idea. BUT,
if you find the interest isn't there for this swap (could be a timing
thing with the GFS), consider joining the other. It's almost like your
birthday when you get that box-o-flies in the mail.

I'm just yankin' Frank's chain, Ernie. I witnessed the birth of that fly
at Penns 2002. Tom Littleton told Frank to put LOTS of weight on a stone
fly to get it down quickly in the fast, muddy water of The Penns. Frank
being, well, Frank, put at least three layered wraps of lead down the
whole body of the fly. We've been joking ever since that the fly would
probably knock the trout unconscious rather than hook 'em.

Well it might break you rod or skull if you didn't cast carefully. If you
hooked a trout, it's belly might get a little skinned up from dragging it
in.

Well, not only did it fish beautifully in high, fast water when the fish
were holding tight to the bottom, but the aforementioned brookie leapt 6'
straight out of the water with this huge hunk of lead hanging out of his
mouth. Caught a bunch of fish with that fly in conditions that were
downright horrible. My daughter says it looks as cute as a slug.
