Winter Fly Swap - 2016 - Theme Ideas

[mic]

Hey all it is a little early to start the actual swap, but I'm looking for theme ideas for this year.  We have done trout, bluegill, and anything goes.  Any one have any ideas.  I'm thinking maybe Wollys, terrestrials, or crawdad flies.

I'll play.  Count me in.  I'm game for whatever the group decides.

I'm in, but I might need a PM reminder, as I might skim over the fly tying subforum more than I should. Maybe a trout attractor pattern swap?

[Lancer09]

Im in.

What about a fly of your own creation?

How about going micro?  Nothing bigger than size 20?

These are some great suggestions... going to be tough to decide.  Lancer, I think I'm liking your idea.  It would be fun to see what this group of crazy could come up with.

Count me in. I think a topwater or terrestrial swap would be a blast. I'd love to throw in some handpainted poppers.

[Lancer09]

Soooooo?

Ok... here is an idea, but I need some buy in from everyone.  It was suggested, and I like it:  we skip the "swap" this year.  We each ID and tie one or two of our favorite Ozark flies (trout, river, pond).  Everyone can send them to me and my wife will take some pics of all of them.  I'll get recipes from everyone and work with Phil to load them on the forum and on his website.  We can do this if people like the idea.   FYI... I can also support a small swap if some people still want one (unless this becomes big). 

So what do you think. 

[Lancer09]

Either are fine with me! Just let me know what you decide.
