Picked up jburge's Johnny B Hoppers yesterday over a couple of Willys Taco Plates.

How Much?

Hoppers and Beetles from Danthebugman arrived yesterday.

Kim, your mailbox must be full, says you cannot receive messages. Tried to send PM about terrestrial swap.

I'm with Kim, I have a few stories...

What? no slot request...

I'm in with an Americana

Some black beetles crawled into my mail box from Woodenlegs.

A bunch of hoppers arrived.

Great set if soft hackles today! Thanks, Doc, for hosting and thanks to all the tyers, can't wait to get these wet.

Trouttramp's fuzzy ants arrived today.

These hungry hungry caterpillars arrived yesterday 🐟😎

Yes, they are, plus I got three of mine back too.

Apparently, mine didn't make the photo shoot...

I often wonder what happened to them. A lot of the tyers I used to swap with were international swappers and the postage rates have driven them away. We used to have many more swaps and many more swappers. There were a few cases of dishonorable hosts that absconded with the flies, but that doesn't account for all the ones that have left. We also had some guys that just couldn't seem to get their flies in on time, so delivery was late. There were also a series of web site issues, which seem to have been corrected, though we lost the directory and the pattern index. I admit, I thought about leaving a while back, but, damn it, I just love swapping flies! Tight Lines to all who are still tying and swapping 🐟😎

Flies are in the mail. Tracking number available on request.

Some days I'm not so sure😉
