K.I.S.S. Panfish Swap

KISS Logo



This was the first K.I.S.S. Swap, run through the Warmwater Angler email listserv, as well as the FF@ listserv. A great swap, with a great time had by all!

The concept of the swap was K.I.S.S., or Keep It Simple, Stupid. In keeping with that, flies submitted for the swap had to use a maximum of four total materials, any type, any shape, any color. The only exceptions to the four item limit were hook, thread, lead underwraps and cement/super glue. And from those very limiting criteria, the tiers managed to create all the gorgeous, and effective, flies you see below. Enjoy!

A big thanks to Tim Bennett for the photography!
