Would there be any interest...

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.

If nothing else you, Ed and I can send flys to one another to keep ourselves motivated
to continue tyin'.

Hey -- if there's only three of us, we could do two or three patterns each.
I got dibs on the Bugger...

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!
