[VFB] Re: my thoughts on swaps

[Joyce's crafts and flies]

I, for one, think that any fly tied by anyone, even beginners, is worthy of 
my time in a swap and I am happy to get it. Each of us, at one time in our 
lives, was a beginner..and our flies turned out, sometimes, not to the best 
of standards nor, for that matter, to our liking. SO as for me..I welcome 
all beginners in all swaps and have found that many times, even the "simple" 
patters have great application for real life fishing. Count me as one who 
wants and welcomes all people in all swaps. BTW..I hope not to ever enter a 
swap where I have to take 2 hours to tie a fly..I'm not a salmon fly tier 
for this very reason...too time consuming. Joyce
