International Wet Fly Swap November 2006
Here are photos of all the flys submitted in this sway hosted by Keith Passant of the North Wilts Fly-Fishing Club in the UK. This was the first fly swap that I have participated in, and was a great experience. Kudo’s to Keith for putting it all together, and also to RB of our local club, NLFT.

Here are my first 2 attempts at a Wallywing (no pattern intended here…. just used what was laying around at the moment.
