General Practitioner Fly Swap [closed]

**Rick Baerg** · January 27th, 2009, 10:29 AM

Ok folks here is another steelhead swap but it is of a specific pattern, size and color, the General Practitioner. For those that don't know how a fly swap works, please read the swap rules and directions by following this link, http://www.flyfishbc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=748

Here are the requrements: In order to participate in this GP swap, you must follow these guidlines, all GP's must be tied on a Diiachi (Alec Jackson) 2050 Size 1.5 hook! All GP's must have its main color as black, its OK to mix in another color. The swap is 1 fly for 1 fly so, there will 6 people you would tie 6 GP's and when the swap is done you will get 5 different GP's back, plus one you tied!

Once you have decided you want to be part of this swap you need to tie your flies and mail them to myself, Rick Baerg who is the swap organizer for this swap. Package the flies in a self addressed and stamped package. The packages sent should be something that can be re used to send your flies back, please include lables with return addresses. Make sure you send enough cash in the package or pre paid postage, so I can send the flies back to you; it’s not cool to stiff the swap organizer. When all the flies have been received I will split them up, re package them and mail them off. Please ad an extra for prizes if you feel so inclined.

All flies have to be in before Mar 1, 2009, so there is lots of time to get them done! If you would like to be part of this swap act fast as there are only 6 spots available, please reply back and say I'm in!

Sorry, I wont be able to join this one. Lack of hooks- my mail order still isnt in.

If there is a traditional spey/dee or a GP swap next month, I'll be in for sure.
