very shortly, the "mystery swap" will be landing at your doorsteps. hang in there and be prepared, you should find some goodies!!! have a good one pat

cencalfly have you heard of kirman lake, in the bridgeport area? the local paper is calling it a hot spot for large brook trout and lahontan cutthroat trout.They suggest to bring a float tube and the fly rod!!! use a hiking trail off sonora pass road. has anyone heard from troutraveler lately? I have sent him a message or two recently and no feedback, more than likely busy with the horse. he and I have been in swaps since the fall of 2003.

Wow , will you certainly succeeded in bringing back some fond memories. The red maple leaves and beautiful forest scenes are special.That cool nip in the air of autumn sure perks a person up. Thanks for sharing. pat

Great hearing from you , brent. The swap is moving along well, while you have been living the life of "the mountain man". Hope your efforts are working out well. your dialog has been missed. This neck of the woods has cooled off somewhat, but the forecast is calling for some heavy santa ana winds, tonight. Who knows what mother nature has in store. Have a good one Pat

cencalfly,great hearing from you. Have fun checking the flies out. yosemite and the high sierras must be somethng special now!!! will, now that you have gotten some rest from reeling in all those fish, get ready for the next fly explosion.I bet the fall colors ,in my old neck of the woods ,are awesome. The "mystery box" goes for a 3000 mile jaunt. Thanks to all for making this a super swap!!! have a good one, Pat

gage the mailing sequence should be attached to the boxes. cencalfly is next in line, he lives in fresno, cal. If you can't find his address, let me know. pat

Thanks for the update, gage. This has been a great cycle, so many flies to check out, tough choices!! cencalfly, be prepared.hope the weather isn't too hot.

Received a message from aroostookbasser, he's deep in the boonies of maine,on the trail of some bears. He's already had some success with the bears. The "mystery box" landed on saturday, his wife will mail it out very shortly. He sends his best and continues to be all pumped up, about our swap. Gage, I guess you know who's next on the bubble, you seem to be ready, as well as others. We certainly have an awesome thing going on , and it seems to get "more better and more better!!!" Thanks for making things happen. Have a good one Pat Carroll

Received a nice letter of appreciation from Casting For Recovery ,for the donation of flies from the 13 tyers of the "mystery swap." kudos to all, great job. Anxious to hear from aroostookbasser. Have a good one Pat

This is definitely a 'can't miss" fly tying magazine. I have every issue and look forward to checking out the latest issue. Awesome job Will, this forum is something else. I started way, way back in september,2003, original member number was 95, time does fly by when we're having fun. Thanks for providing a " home away from home." Have a good one Pat Carroll

great idea, gives us a chance to see the talents of the up and coming tyers. hopefully your son can use the fly and give us an update. With the amount of flies in the boxes, they need to be put to the test, who better than the younguns to try them out. Have a good one Pat

gage, I don't understand your impatience. Take it from me, since I have seen a lot of the flies in the "mystery swap boxes"Alll you will see is a great variety of quality flies made by some talented fliers, then the problem comes up, which should I take and replace.
