Gustav F.

I'm very glad you like it! If everything goes as planned my friend and I will make a few more videos during christmas-break

A couple of flymphs

Bach, Stravinsky, Schubert and more. You get the point

Cello suites, The rite of spring and piano sonatas are amongst the best I know for acustical pleasure. Only mother nature can produce anything more enjoyable.

Day5 is gonna go nuts over these and so do I, awesome pattern! Ought to yield both a realistic impression as well as lively motion.

Happy birthday Paul!

Dito on Carl. Whoever waits for something good, barely waits for too long.

Sorry to hear about Jans flies btw. Nice of the guy to put up with more flies

Personally, I'm not a fan of Regals or their customer service. This is just one

guy's experience and opinion, however.

I've been using my HMH everyday for over a year, for everything from tiny nymphs to 5/0 salmon

irons, without a hiccup. I love it.

And Day5 is right...HMH's customer service is outstanding.

 

I do use my Regal to clamp hold of one end of the floss while I split it. Works great!

Gave me a really good laugh :hyst:

Oh and I agree on everything good told about HMH, they make superb vices at reasonable costs and they know how to treat their customers.

Sorry I need to go find myself some paper, gotta remove all this drool...

Very neat flies Old Hat, traditional flymphs are among my absolute favourites. You sure know how to tie 'em good.

How are we doing guys, any progress?

Mmm, plover... looking forward to receiving all these flies

that fly just WOWed me, amazing tying! The colours are very beautiful and natural looking

Killer flies everyone! Awesome tandem/foxhair/spey fly and beautiful streamers

ok I received a set of flies from sweeden today I think they are from Gustav so I have three sets in and I can say WOW these flies are awesome

If the flies are black and soft then they are my flies

Yeah how are we doing riffflesteel? Any updates?

Flies are sent, hope they make it safely to you rifflesteel

I don't have a paypal account but what most do is throw a couple of us dollars in the envelope or if that isn't possible then throw a few extra flies in and I will cover the postage no biggie

Ok will do that!

International swapping was harder than I thought, I'm puzzled about how the shipping to and fro is done. Sure I can send the flies in an envelope to the US but I'm also supposed to pay for shipping back here, and for that american stamps are needed.

How is one supposed to do this? Cargo is on me ofc.. riffleriversteel can I send a compensation of money through paypal?

Sorry, first international swap to me!

Update from my side.

I have stopped using Bennechi short of those spools I already have. The problem is that pretty much all of them give me ravels, sometimes the thread seems to be stuck under itself (so to speak). A great shame because the thread is the best I've found so far.

Instead I'm using Sheer 12/0 as a substitute, but this thread too creates ravels every now and then. Fortunately it's not as often as with the Bennechi though.

Damn, is it so difficult for the producers to spool the thread on properly to the bobbin?

Happy birthday Jan! Hope you have some rest and enjoy yourself

Killer bugs..

 

Very impressivee Gustav! I don't think I've ever seen that many killer bugs in one place, or as well tied

Thank you Jan Well, it's quite a horde!

My flymphs are done as well, hopefully posted soon.

Now for a due date as there are quite a few Trans-Atlantic tiers in this one I was thinking October 20th how does that sound to everyone?

Sounds good to me!

Exactly what adress do we european swappers send our flies to?

This will entertain me forever!
