I think of the flies I have received thru swaps as tangible connections to friends I may never meet. And if I do get to see them, it's nice to talk about their flies. The only swap flies I use are the ones from Dell Roberts?? Swaps where you tied two for every participant. I always thought that was a great idea. Perhaps if I only lost flies to fish, I might consider using ones from the swaps. LOL

I recently got all the swap flies I've recieved over the years(yeah I just saved them) and laid them out on our dining room table. I know but my wife is out of town all week and I have the house to myself, have to clean them up completely tonight. What I found was, I DON"T NEED TO TIE ANY MORE FLIES FOR A WHILE! Unless a very specific pattern is required, I pretty much have all my bases covered, trout dries, nymphs, soft hackles, wets, warmwater- deerhair bass bugs, streamers, poppers, panfish poppers, wets, nymphs, etc. I filled a soap box with just chilipeppers, one with soft hackles,one with panfish poppers, it goes on and on. I have two plano 3650 boxes crammed full of various wooly buggers/worms. Anybody else see this trend? Oh, by the way I decided I'm going to load them in fly boxes and fish them this year.
