    Nice work lads - those should do the job.

    On to the next swap - sea trout flies!
    I can host if nobody objects, and I'll tie some Peter Ross

    Ok so far we have:

    yank_in_eire - Peter Ross
    Seafields - Medicine
    thekevin4540 - Bloody Butcher

    Why don't we finish signups by the end of next week (15th) and then aim to get the flies in the post by the end of the month?

    Got mine yesterday morning they all look very nice. Okedoke I got them from www.uksaltwaterflies.co.uk they sell pretty much everything you could need for tying saltwater flies.

    I'm going to sit out the sea trout swap. Don't know anything about sea trout flies - and don't have any of the materials to tie them. Look forward to seeing the results though

    Just a suggestion. With the number down do ye want to tie two of each pattern per swapper instead? i.e. I'll tie two medicines for you and you tie two Peter Ross for me? Always handy to have two of a pattern. What ye think?

    I was thinking of doing 2 different patterns each or we could do 2 of the same each - what do you think?

    One more suits me fine.
    Let's say we either tie 2 of each fly or 1 each of 2 different patterns for each person, so that gives us:

    yank_in_eire: Peter Ross and Black Pennell
    Seafields: Medicine and Silver doctor (trout)
    thekevin4540: Bloody Butcher and Dunkeld variant
    Coolwings: Claret bumble and Teal red and silver

    If any of you lads want to add different patterns let me know - otherwise it's 6 flies and a stamped envelope from each of you by the end of April and I'll aim to get them in the post back to you the first week of May.
    Happy tying!

    Ok, pencil me in for the medicine and a silver doctor (trout version) so. That should make a nice little collection for us at the end of the swap.

    I'd say the flies from Coolwings will arrive on Monday and then I'll take the pics and get them sent out before the end of next week.
    Some nice tying here lads!

    I should warn ye that the medicines that i tie are so deadly that you should turn your back on the river before tying to your leader or else the seatrout might jump out of the river and grab it straight out of your hands :cool::pac:
