Andy's thread about the relentless onslaught on the steel and the subsequent posts about why we go made me think about why I'm on this site and why I go to the river. Part of it has to do with the fish, part the river itself, part the people you enjoy it with. I doubt I can give it up entirely, just like HT can't. Just gotta ignore the A hats and find space with some friends. In light of that, and the fact we have a good bunch of guys here, I would like to propose another fly swap while we can have some time to tie before the season. Probably more than one fly and no eggs, unless they are in multiples. I'm going to add in a little sweetener. I'll do a drawing at the end and give a decent fly box like a Cliff or a C&F to whoever gets pulled from the hat. Not only that, to encourage fishing them, the first person to post a trib fish caught on a swap fly not theirs will get some ceramic nippers and a spool of tippet. We can have them in by Sept. 1st. I'll take care of return postage, just send flies in a returnable box/chew can/Altoids tin.... If guys are interested well, we'll do it.....
