So anyone interested in another swap? If so what should the theme be?

Cheers,
Todd

one idea that comes to mind is taking a common insect (such as the isonychia, hex, BWO, caddis) and doing a life cycle of the insect from nymph to pupa (if applies) to adult. participants can choose to tie either nymph or adult. hopefully it would work out such that there'd be 2-3 participants for each life stage. for example, if there were 9 tiers, there'd be 9 flies (3 nymphs, 3 pupa and 3 adults). ideally each tier would do a bit of research ahead of time to come up with a kick butt pattern. then all participants would receive a full set of kick butt flies for the life cycle of that insect.

that's my 2 cents. any other suggestions?

Rich,

Sounds like a good idea. If we were to do it I think the three obvious choices would be stoneflies, caddis and isonychia, given their abundance here and in NY.
