"If not for the courage of the fearless crew the Minnow would be lost, the Minnow would be lost!" - The Ballad of Gilligan's Isle
This swap is for flies that imitate one of the largest of a fish's diet - MINNOWS! Whether bucktail, feathers, synthetics or a combination of these materials can be used to tie these streamer patterns.
Here's the rules for the swap - any fly pattern is welcome that is used to imitate a minnow/immature fish/baitfish. Sign-up is limited to the first 12 registrants and ALL LEVEL tyers are most welcome to join. If you are a new to tying flies and/or this is your first swap please PM me and let me know - I am most happy to address any of your questions/concerns. Also, I do give additional support to newer tyers, so DO let me know. I've been tying for over 50 years and hosting swaps for 11+ years so I'm sure I can help you. I am retired and check the site at least once daily, so you should get a response from me within 24 hours in most cases
Registration will run until 8/7/2022 and flies are due to me by 8/30/2022. As always please include toe tags on your flies that include at least your screen handle and the name of your pattern, your swap box (with your screen handle), and a SASE. Please include the name of your pattern choice when you register (or as soon as possible afterwards). I (the Swapmeister) reserve the right to deny a pattern if at's already been taken by someone else - we all DO NOT want to see 4 different versions of an Adirondack Bucktail!?
If, for any reason, there are less than 6 people registered by 8/7 a decision will be made at that time to extend the registration date or cancel the swap.
Gifts will be sent to all swappers.
As always please keep in touch with me if there are any questions/concerns/unanticipated challenges. And, most importantly, as with all my swaps, please have FUN!

By the way this is the first swap for me to host on this site. I have been hosting and participating in swaps for the past 11+ years after cutting my teeth on swaps on the old FAOL site so I am far from new at this. Below is an OLD picture of me demonstrating tying flies on a homemade WOODEN vise - there's a back-up vise in the foreground. (NOTE: A good FAOL site buddy, Ed Engelman, was the designer of the vise.) I'm the one with the DIGNIFIED beard. A few months after this picture was taken I cut off the beard and lost over 100 pounds - who knew all that silver in the beard weighed that much! I said that the picture is an old one - the kids in this picture now have kids older than they were in this picture!
