There is a board for Midwest Steelheaders that periodically does fly swaps. Here is how it would work. I would volunteer to run the thing, and we would have a sign up period, to find out everyone who is interested in participating. We would also have a date for the swap to terminate.

Once we have list of participants, I would post a total number of participants (i.e 25 guys), and each participant would tie that 25 duplicate flies of their favorite steelie fly pattern. All of your flies would be sent to me. When I get the flies, I will take 1 fly from each tyer, and put in an envelope and mail back to each participant. Kind of a neat way to get a look at a bunch of different flies, and maybe fish with something different.

So what do you think? Is it worth it or not? If so, I would like to do patterns for summer runs.
