Guest redfly Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hello Kristi I am new to this idea of yours I have been in swaps of flies before but what are you trying to attempt a swap on fishing gear??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ArticWolf Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Chris...Gary mention this to me the other day..he has reels, fly line, all kinds of stuff that was given to him over the years that is still useable..and he thought it would attract a few members into doing a 'gear swap'...think this is what the lady is trying to do...as far as 'pay forward'...Chris check out that other site of rick's...it's in there ...you understand it better than me trying to explain....

Garhan Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hi all, On another site we have members host fly swaps. So if 8 people offer to tie a fly for a Given Topic. Then those 8 members would send 9 flies into the host. The host then would distribute 8 of those flies from each member that have been tied back to the 8 members. So that you would receive one of each fly tied by the members involved. Does that make sense. hmmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristi Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yes Redfly and ArticWolf, this is an attempt to create a SWAP that is strictly fishing related .. here is what I had posted a couple months ago to get our community involved and the ball rolling .. there is also a link to better show what i am trying to do. Check it over and tell me what you think.. I'm pretty sure you boys know what I mean! Here it is ... I know we could successfully execute something like this and benefit too. In the thread you can give up something you have no use/need for, if you gave up something you can take something of like value. And maybe bring our fractured Alberta fishing community together.What do you think? *Remember this link is just an example of the idea I'm trying to promote*.

Guest ArticWolf Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Well we both belong there as members ...and It's something that has taken a very long time to get to that stage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristi Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yes I can see how.. I may be young but I do have the patience for it all to fall in place! Only time, my friend will pave this road! I'm not surprised that the 2 of you are members there too. It's all good ... that is where i got this beautiful idea from obviously! Great forum there at flycb.

DennisS Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Will try this again: Had a full tanned deer hide given to me very nice fine hair. I have cut it up in verying sizes. Will trade for white zonker strips. The other thing is if anyone has a Mole skin they don't want. We could make a very lucrative deal. Contact me here or at the club.

Guest ArticWolf Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Dennis...boy I was told you are one hell of a tier...but it seems you are a fossil when it comes to 'deer hair'......just foolin with you m8..the deer hair found in NA..is rather course than what comes from oversea...example..I Only use ..hair off the Roe Deer, [found in the UK], and waiting for a batch of hair that comes from a 'mungjack deer'...found in Wales..the hair from these deer are very fine, super to work with on any ..dries or nymphs...But now if I am working on say 'Bombers'......then our deer hair is best...heavier,thicker...

Kristi Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 OK enough play for now back to business my bad! .. We have several beautiful items pitched for our F/F swap they are as follows: - I have some natural Deer Hair to trade for white rabbit zonker strips. (very nice deer in varying size patches) Kristi I think this is what you meant on this subject. It's a good Idea. Tight Lines Always. Dennis S - 1 doz. locally tied Wooly Buggers - you pick the size and color from Phlygirl - Okuma Sierra 8/9 reel, if you need it. Hardly even broken in; biggest fish was a 15 lbs pike. From Rick jr - I have some fly boxes that a generous club member donated.. From Kristi Young Grasshoppa - And I'll toss in my handy work 1-2 doz of your choice of fly, keeping in mind materials and experience lol!

Junior Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Dennis...boy I was told you are one hell of a tier...but it seems you are a fossil when it comes to 'deer hair'......just foolin with you m8..the deer hair found in NA..is rather course than what comes from oversea...example..I Only use ..hair off the Roe Deer, [found in the UK], and waiting for a batch of hair that comes from a 'mungjack deer'...found in Wales..the hair from these deer are very fine, super to work with on any ..dries or nymphs...But now if I am working on say 'Bombers'......then our deer hair is best...heavier,thicker... Interesting...why then do you think Europeans are willing to pay twice as much to get NA deer hair? I don't think those guys tye too many Bombers or bass bugs. Do you ever use Caribou?

Because they dont have NA Deer in Europe, just a thought. Same was said to me from a guy in Brazil about McCaw feathers. He said to then they are a pain and a common bird almost as bad as Sparrows in some areas. I guess it is a perspective and what your used to.
