MIne got here this afternoon. Great flies, will have to try to get out this weekend to try them. good swap, Kevin, thanks.

I got mine saturday, great ties everyone. Thanks Easter fly for another succesfull swap!

Sjo

With me that makes 6 total so you need 5 unless we get one more. I would like 6. Plan for that and if we don't get the sixth by the weekend we go with what we have.As far as a date what about 29 OCT.

 

Kevin

Okay Kevin, I'm good with that. Maybe you can invite someone personally? To fill up 6th place?

Sjo

And this reply is for making the giant step of the 100th post!

I'm in, if you'll have me , wil ty a Czech nymph! We have to work something out about cost for [post and packaging, because I'm from the Netherlands in Europe.

Sjo

We have six participants now plus the swapmeister. That's enough for me! Can we set a due date Kevin?

If you think otherwise I'm good too

Sjo

Please count me in! I'll do Czech nymph leaders 12 ft long, with two droppers in the tippet.

Sjo

Being an European we must work something out as a compensation for post and packaging!

I would like to do Czech nimph leaders: ten feet in total with a tapered upper part and a long fluorocarbon straight part with two droppers.

Sjo

I'd play. It has been a long time since I last made my own leaders, but I would be able to make them again. I never succeeded in making furled leaders, though.

It's a great idea, let's do this!

Sjo

Sjo and professoir I got your flies today. I sent a PM to Johny Utah and Steelhead-hunter. If I don't hear back in a few day I will divide and ship.

 

Kevin

 

 

Glad they are there.

 

Now I have to find out how to convert that money.

 

Kevin

Glad that mine are there too, sorry that I did not send you Euro's Thank you again for your patience and your friendship!!

Good to hear you got the flies and leader. I haven't had a chance to try out your mono leader yet- but hope to use it soon. Thanks for participating in this swap- I will certainly let you know when I host my second swap.

 

I hope to hear soon that Sjo has received his Evo-Set.

Yes, I got mine too! What a nice display of this Swap. I'm proud to have had the honour of being part of something like this!

Sjo

cool hopefully we can fill this one up.

I'm cool with 6 weeks to ty!

I'll do a (Yellow) Partridge and Yellow with a furry thorax.

Sjo

I'm sure everyone knows I love streamers. I have been thinking about tying some soft hackles. Would there be any interest in another soft hackle swap. I need more work with them and this would help.

 

Kevin

I love soft hackle swaps. If you take Europeans, who can't get American stamps, I'd like to play. I will compensate the swapmeister for his costs for postage, Paypal, extra flies, materials, we'll sort it out!

Sjo

I went fishing with the family last weekend and let my 5 year old son pick through the 500 or so flies that for some reason I insist on lugging around with me. Anyway, he picked the fly you tied for the mystery material swap and it landed me a 2.8lb rainbow on the first drift through the pool!

 

Just thought you'd like to know your fly worked...

That's cool! Glad that they work for you too! Your son get's a good upbringing, I'm sure!

Sjo

Flies arrived in the Netherlands! What a great swap! Thanks for hosting.

Sjo

That took a long while for a priority package to travel. Glad they made it.

 

 

 

No worries guys... Troutguy... Your well travelled buggers made it tonight!!

 

Won't be long guys and girls and we can put this one behind us

No hurry Dave, we just wait thid one out. I hope you will continue hosting, because you handle it well.

Congratulations with your marriage!

Sjo

I promised one of you to send some eelskin, but all my messages are gone and so is the adress. Could you send it again?

Sjo

I got my flies yesterday. Nice job everyone! Sorry that mine did not come in.

Special thanks to the swapmeister for sending me a bunch anyhow.

Sjo

Glad to welcome any tiers. As long as you make sure you cover your postage. U.S. postage rates JUST went up. The international coupons worked, but typically were too little. Consider doubling your rate.

 

O2fsh

Our postage service in the netherlands don't have international coupons so we have to work something out with extra flies or materials or Paypal.

Grtzzz...

Sjo

I'd like to be in on this one, if you take European tiers!

Sjo

A Pink Parachute Indicator Post is a truly amazing new appendage! I have no trouble accepting this as a necessary adaptation for the newly-evolved parachute hackle. But I worry what future transformations might do to this innocent protuberance! (You don't think this has anything to do with professori's scandalous pink eel skin do you?)

I just hope if he plans on getting it wet he puts his eel skin on the pink post :hyst: :devil:

Hilarious, I really like what this swap is evolving into. Once Einstein said that a dirty mind is a joy forever! Or was it Clinton?

Sjo

Probably because of my age, but I remember when "eel skin" was a slang term for a certain item of birth control. Pink ones make a great worm fly.

Nowadays eel skin comes in strawberry taste!

Sjo

Sorry Blue that I didn't respond in time.

I got two problems now, firstly I don't know how to make a decent picture and how to post it and secondly I allready sent the bunch to the swapmeister. Basicly they are small gray nymphs with a tiny piece off eel skin as wing cover.

You could indeed substitute this eel skin for any other wing cover, as you allready did.

When wet the eel skin softenes up and smells a little bit fishy, in my imagination that would be extra attractive to fish.

Sjo

Okay then, the game is on! I sent a pattern discription to number two on the list Bluegill576.

Can I have a forwarding adress, my flies are done!

Grtzzz...

Sjo

I'm daft enough to participate in such a swap, if you take European tiers.
