Give us a try!
Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

I'm in but don't want to host the first one again. If we get things rolling I'll certainly take my turn as host.
Thinking of any specific theme for the swap dcab? dry flies/dealy flies/winter nymphs/wives

I won't host it, but I have an idea, your most productive flies....I would tie an iris caddis, a pheasant tail soft hackle, a serendipity, a gold ribbed hares ear, a catskill style sulphur, and a bead heads bird's nest......

The only thing left should be foot prints.
I will host it. I would like to go with your theme .
I also have a secondary condition:
Each person will double the amount of flies tied.
Example: 12 persons in the swap each member will make 22 flies.
The other 11 flies from each person will be donated to Project Healing Waters.

I'm in. Just a little unclear on the fly type/pattern for this one.

Just wondering whether Project Healing Waters would want so many bad flies.
If they do, I could make a DVD of my tying videos that we can donate along with the flies.

Ok, I'll be tying a Blowtorch tag nymph, my super secret (not anymore) pearl quill jig nymph and another yet TBD.

I am sure they would appreciate your technical aptitude

How many flies are we tying? Pick your best and tie that or two of your best? I understand the double to donate...Will I be tying GRHE and Iris Caddis and BH birds nests..or just one of them or what..you decide Tom...I 'll start tying as soon as I know..I think we won't get any more, as NEFF is still dying even after the "re-birth"

If I'm not too late, then count me in. I'm thinking of tying Cinbergs for everyone in the swap, then a mix of other productive flies for the donation. I volunteer at a Healing Waters chapter if you don't have a specific one in mind.

Sure, let's go. I'll tye a Cinberg and an EC caddis for everyone in the swap, and pink squirrels and red fox squirrel nymphs for the donation part.

I'm gonna go SOS, sulphur snowshoe emerger for the folks in the swap. I'll probably do SOS, olive snowshoe emerger for the donation part.

I have started my tying, how many stiffs, I mean how many fine fly fishers do we now have in the swap? Need to know what quantities I need to get done.

By my count I have:
Me
THouse
LU
Tom Fly
Bob Wilds
Moose
Dbl Taper
Barley
DC
So with that, the count will be to tie 7 of each of the flies we are submitting for the swap + the donation flies?

My flies are all store purchased! I can't tie a dustball which is pretty much what you'll get if I dig my vice up from a dark grave in the back yard.
