kind of self-explanatory, right? We seem to have some impressive thread-wrappers that lurk around this board. let's try to keep your "first booger" posts at a minimum.

2017 Shrimp Swap (Featuring root wad)

Post by Heero[CntRmbrPwd] » Wed Jan 04, 2017 8:08 am

root wad has seemingly forgotten to start the 2017 Shrimp Swap as he had said he would so Ill go ahead and get this topic started.

The theme is shrimp flies and these can be shrimp flies of any style and tied for any species of fish. Im expecting a lot of participation this year so Ill open the swap up to 50 participants which means everyone ties 50 of the same fly (or 49 if you dont want one of your own returned).

If you make it a requirement to have at least 9 different materials in the pattern then I'm in.

Might a suggest a minor revision? We should have a round robin robin type of drawing and not have a swap meister. This way each person can can mail out shit to 50 different people. And include a christmas gift in each.

you have a time machine?
cuz Christmas was last year (also - Mitch is not Christian, so you might want to focus on a Wiccan holiday, like Imbolg or Ostara)

Life is a whole lot more simple when you plow around the stump.

Hope you are correct but I kinda doubt it.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a month and this is the spirit of the swap I am certainly in.
