Fly Swap

[Ross Turner]

Looking through past post i have noticed no one has mentioned doing a fly swap.This is where fly tiers tie lets say 10 flies all the same pattern & the other 9 tiers tie 10 flies each(different patterns).Then they send it to a swap miester who sorts them out & sends 10 flies back to the tiers,So each tier gets 9 different flies back plus one that they tied.
Its a good way to see other peoples tying skills & different patterns.
What do you think?.
Do you think it could work?.
