Northern Ireland Trout Angler

Right May is traditionally associated with mayflies and I'm sure a few members will be fishing duffers.
So I propose a speed style swap of mayfly patterns. Same format as before tie 10 flies of the same pattern, send them to me, I will sort them and return 10 different patterns. The only difference is the time limit hence speed style.
Only sign up if you know 100% you will make the closing date which is 14th May(a little over a week). All flies will be sorted and returned on the 15th.
Any flies recieved after these dates will be returned as they came when I get back from Corrib on the 19th.

Add you name and tie away. I will pm all entrants with my address upon signing up.

1) Wayne - Grey Drake

Unfortunately I'll have to pass as I won't have much time over the next few weeks. Sad

Thanks for the offer Harry but I doubt if here will be enough time to tie, send and receive, I'm for Corrib Friday.
