Been think'n 'bout trying to run/organize a chironomid swap.......... Any interest in a swap where participants would pick a BCFlyguys' pattern? Deadline for sending in the flies would be March 1, 2026.

Again, just BCFlyguys' patterns.

So, any interest?????

While I'm at it, Merry Christmas to all of you.🎄🧑🏻‍🎄🎁🍾🪅

So, with five (actually six including an as-yet officially announced entrant) of us interested, I'm looking forward to this being a good swap.

FWIW, I'm hoping we can get 10 to 12 signed up. So, those of you here that fish lakes: SIGN UP....... Personally, I'd love to get one of your ties.🙂🙂🙂
 
You betcha. Glad to see aboard. 🙂🙂🙂🙂 You're the seventh.

We could use three to five more. Come on you fly tying lake fishers......... Get on board.
 
So as not to let this sign-up drag on, I'll close sign-up on 12/31. So, then, on New Years Day I'll send out the final line-up and game rules.
 
With this line-up: Scudley Do Right, Mike Ediger, Phil K, Dave Boyle, Shawn Seeger, Buzzy, FinLuver, & myself on board, we've got eight tyers.

There's room for 3-4 more. So, if any of you lake fly tyers out there are interested, sign up b/4 this Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026. Otherwise, we're off and tying with a deadline of March 1. I can think of 5 or 6 right now that I'd love to see sign up..........:):)

That’s FinLuver.

I nominate @clarkman … for precision work. Besides, it’ll be great to see him sweat the small stuff. 😝😳😁😂

Hey Ron, is it ok for me to share this post over in the lake forum to see if we can drum up a couple more?
 
Ira's in w/ Screaming Vikings! That makes nine of us. Looking for just three more. Come on tyers..... this fly swap will give you some of the very best lake flies on this planet.

I’m in. I’ll tie some Screaming Vikings AKA the KTS (A pattern that predates the Bleeding Limey by quite a few years!). I’ll use markers versus thread blending.

Ironically, that’s the photo I sent you in a DM discussing joining. Good thing I found a couple others.
