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.

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.

I can only hope you're right!

Well, if you go around killin' every tree that you lose a fly too, the propere
authorities will hunt you down like the wild dog that you are.

I can only hope you're right!


Oh, you can bet your ass I'm right mister, unless your still got toddlers around your
house, then all bets are off!
