All this talk about vises and tying reminded me that I *promised*
myself I wouldn't wait until December this year to hold the annual
Dog Days Fly Swap. This will be the TAJFIADDFS (Third Annual Joe
Fleischman in Absentia Dog Days Fly Swap, for those counting such
things.)

Okie-dokie. I'm putting Stan in the swap, too, 'cause he's been too sick to
read much roff lately. If he can't tie for some reason, I'll do two flies
because that's just the kinda guy I am. That makes eight so far, so SWAP-ON!
There's still lots of time for you fence-sitters to chime in. I am a strong
TBD, but leaning to some kind of BIG Adams look-alike. I was fishing with
one of those the other day, size 14 or so, and had a 'bow explode on the
thing, jumping completely clear of the water. Great fun.

To you folks saying you're new to this tying stuff or not very good at it,
bull pucky - you haven't seen anything til you see some of the crap I can
tie. Why do you think I head up these swaps? I get to trade 15-20 crappy
flies for some decent ones.
