Ok i think charity has had enough flies off of us lately so how about we all tie 11 flies and we can leave the 11th  spot available in case someone is intrested at the last minute.
If no one fills it which i doubt it i will make up the extra set.  :z18

Hi Baz :z16

Botch one up that works and post a photo of it on here ........ If I like your design, it works and it makes me laugh, I'll send you a prize :z16

Cheers

Hi Clark,

Probably best tying something that you have done before and you know catches fish!
Variations are good as it gives us all new ideas on future patterns  :z16

Hello all,
New to the forum so I thought I would introduce myself by entering the fly swap as I see you need a gap filled. I mean position :oops If that's alright.
I have a cheeky Diawl that's been doing the damage for me lately and looks like a true devil in all senses of the word being red and black.
Cheers Rob.
