I think I’ll join in on this.

I’ll tie ‘Mike’s Carp Candy’ in rusty/burnt orange.

I thought about this after the “powder monkey” fiasco but what about using identical fly boxes and returning the swap

[mark s]

I’m in – I’ll tie something, just gotta figure out what.  

One idea I thought of (Aaron inspired this one), have everyone get a box from a local shop and send the flies in that.  That way, everyone gets a local fly shop box from somewhere around the country.  Thoughts?

Edit:

[dusty montgomery]

Marks-Both good ideas I think, but personally, I would like to know more about the personalized fly boxes. Honestly though, if y’all are like me, we all need another fly box about as much as we need another wife.

One more thing, Aaron, I think we need to assign nicknames to all of these “Marks” to lessen any potential confusion.

[Aaron Otto]

Let’s go with Last names. Good thoughts, lot of Marks.

[Tim Pommer]

I am in for another crawdad pattern.

[mark s]

Tim’s flies are worthless – Aaron, I suggest you don’t let him in this swap.

If I got a second wife would she do the other half of the things the first doesn’t.

Schafer or clipper works for me I don’t hear my first name from anyone but my mom.

[Aaron Otto]

You guys are too funny.

[Michael Exl]

Since Tim is throwing up pictures I thought I might as well put some good ole carp shots up.

Now this one really does suck. 😀

Pucker up 😉

[Tim Angeli]

I’m in.

[Aaron Otto]

Great Tim, glad to have you aboard. Nice Pics guys! Toads, the lot of them.

[nick davis]

Im in but my fly is TBD, I will let you guys know in the near future what I am tying.

[Neal Osborn]

Is catching a carp a prerequisite to join the swap?  Hahaha. I am still trying to land my first carp on a fly – seen many but no photos yet!  I am willing to tie up whatever the swap master feels necessary – just give me a pattern and I will make it happen.

[Aaron Otto]

Sounds good guys – glad to have you all.
