Just as a friendly reminder, you tie 12 flies of your choice, turn them in to the Exchange, and you get back everyone else's work, not your own. Over time, you will collect a great majority of the most popular flies, mainly for trout. That is to say that bass, striped bass and saltwater patterns are not routinely tied. So, for you new members, get out your new vises, and you experienced tiers, get off your lazy bottom and tie some flies! You automatically are registered for the monthly drawing of a gift certificate for 20% off purchase of $50 - $100 from the American Fly Fishing Company.
