Sorry I have not been staying on top of this. Was out of town all last week unexpectedly. I will start wrapping today. Bob

I am in with a secret weapon so coveted - that three of the charter captains called me from the boat, on anchor, at the Bonito Bar to tell me that my fly was working on bones and albies.

I love swaps.

[AT Grimaldi]

I have a late entry - ATG2. Since he is only 4, he doesn't have his own ID - YET!!!.

Before anyone has concerns over the caliber or quality of his tying, let me tell you, they have caught both blues and bonita on Nantucket - consistently.

He will be tying the VERY productive and yet ultimate fly to learn on - the Capt. Joe Blados Crease Fly. His genuine sense of color etc is very different from my "staid" way of thinking and he often winds up blending colors the Kenney Abrams way - like an artist.

If you have any concerns or this idea seems a bit "off" please PM me.

[AT Grimaldi]

Hello all.

Are we too late? I just reread the whole thread and saw the shutoff for the 4th and we replied on the 7th. Didn't mean to crash the swap if it is indeed closed.

CB2fly are you willing to be the swapmaster? It is your idea and your the organizer. If you need one, I will volunteer. We did 4 of these last winter and they were all wonderful.

- ATG & 2

AT, check your PM, I am writing an update now.

[cumberlandflyguy]

I say the more the merrier. I will tie up a couple of extra's and send them in for nay late entries.

I am fairly new to the tying game and this is my first swap so please bear with me if my creations are not "show quality".

[cb2fly]

Thanks cumberlandfly guy!, I am such a slow typer my response is coming soon....

[cb2fly]

OK, SWAP is Closed/
For those that have tied and sent in- you are good! Don't Worry.....
For those that have not tied and/or sent in, please make the QTY 11 if possible with a SASE, to me this week, I will figure out a way to make it all good

AT-I will PM you with adress Info, I am the swapmaster. Fly tying crashers as opposed to "Wedding Crashers" are ok with me, just belly up to the "Bonito BAR", AT- Just know that we are going to wing it a little.
