I thought about doign this over the summer, but never bothered. Since I was reminded that my posts were too long to read, I noticed again.
Who's up for a royal fly swap? Small, ten people, ten flies. All based off the Royal Coachman, because there's so many variations...although I wouldn't even care if people offered their own version of the same fly.
I mean, I do enjoy the Royal Wulff, although I tie a much less hackled version than most. Then, I know that Lee Wulff favoured a single, non-split wing. There's the Royal Trude, the Royal Humpy, the Royal Coachman wet, the RC dry, the RC streamer, and no doubt countless other variations of a theme.
I thought about this whole idea again, as I whipped up another Royal Coachman streamer, using arctic fox in lieu of bucktail, a material that looks even better than marabou and has more life than antron wings (done that, too).
So, is anyone interested in this? Make 'em as modern or as classic as you want (if someone ties on an eyeless hook with a gut snell, you're my new hero).
1 gfen. royal coachman streamer.
2 little lehigh. royal elk hair caddis.

(other swaps only goto 10...)
One fly per person required, extra flies for moderating staff is encouraged, but not neccessary. If Frederick joins, you don't have to make any for him, they'll just get lost in the mail anyways.
