I'm open. What's the timing on this, and what the theme?

I'm a trout guy, and I can't wait to fish hoppers, terrestrials, and other foamy goodness in high summer again.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to participate. I'm in my busiest time of the year at work, so I'll have to join you all next time.

Honestly, you should probably be a bit more specific with what . I know that if I were in one and had spent an hour on each of my musky (or larger bass) flies for it, then received a bunch of snow cone midge patterns, I'd be pretty disappointed.

I made a post for a spey fly swap on another forum, it seems there is no interest there, if there isn't, I would be in here for streamer swaps, I'm tying my Ride the lighting unweighted intruders tonight they are smaller- I'm really only into swapping steelhead and salmon streamers as I only need a handful of dry flies and small streamers to fish my end of the driftless. Let me know, I`ll post pics before the swap maybe no one is into what I`m tying.

I've only participated in fly swaps, I am mainly a bass and saltwater fisherman. How about all flies need to be on a #4 to #10 hook. If there is only 5 or so people participating it shouldn't be too hard to tie up the flies.
