Help with clarification please. I am going to shop after work today to pick up few materials and I need to know:
12 total tyers at 2 flies each, but don't send flies for yourself, that makes 11 tyers at 2 flies each = 22 flies. Plus 2 flies for additional donation. That makes 24 grand total flies, yes?
Also, is each tyer to get 2 flies of the same pattern? Or should we tie 2 flies per tyer with 2 different patterns (one each pattern)?
And do we post the pattern(s) we will tie, or is it more of a secret - just send them in a month.
Finally, Can we tie all around patterns that work all year, or just winter type patterns (which would make it more limited)? Are Deschutes specific steelhead patterns ok?
Big thanks, Steve.
Hey Steve,
We will plan on tying 24 total flies for the swap...your math looks good to me.
I'm planning to tie 24 of the same pattern, so that everybody gets 2 of the same.
Posting patterns would help...so that we don't all tie the same thing. I will try and update the original post as the responses trickle in.
Lastly, you can tie anything you want, but this was originally intended to be a trout fly swap. I am not going to be a swap nazi, so a D-specific steelhead pattern would be cool if you have something in mind.
Hope this helps. I have never organized one of these deals before so feel free to let me know if you have any further questions.
