Default DDFS anyone?

If any of you want to come to the San Juan Jan 15-18 I'll have flies for
you. Not just any flies but flies that have worked intermittently for years
: -)

I will be busy tying those flies in my spare time. Otherwise I'd join the
swap too.

I almost let a piece of roffian history and lore go by unnoticed.
Every year in the August/September time frame, Joe Fleischman used
to host the Dog Days Fly Swap. In 2003 I picked up the torch and
proudly carried it forth in the prescribed manner. In 2004, I
brain-farted and forgot all about it. BUT IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR
REDEMPTION! Maybe. . . I'd be happy to again host this fly swap of flies
that people found
particularly successful in the hot days of summer if there is any
interest. I figure the U.S. election is all but done and youse guys
will need something else to bitch about, so it may as well be my
hosting skills G.

If you're interested respond to this or let me know via email (
kpos3wt at comcast dot net ). I want to limit this swap to twenty
people so as not to be overwhelming for anyone (including me.)


Cuttin' it kinda close to the infamous New Year Swap aren't you?


It's up to you, Don. If you have a problem with the swap timeline (yet to
be determined), don't sign up. I figure this swap will be done by the end
of this month, and the Great Fly Swap (*if* anyone picks up the vacancy
left by Frank and Joe - again, yet to be determined) doesn't even begin
signup until January 1.

Not everyone will want to tie for both and some won't tie for the GFS
because of the numbers involved. Given that enough interest is shown, I'll
tie for both either way.
