Mr. Vegas

if you look at the picture some of the back beads were not well secured, so I decided to send the ones you got instead

glad they starting to float in, I have worked everything out with steel drifter and they should be floating in to everyone. I think the longest should be to Karsten in Australia. I have been out of town most of last week so sorry for lack of contact.

yeah let me kow when they start showing up guys so I can stop worrying about it

nope it is from a fellow members blog. http://flytyingnewandold.blogspot.com/2011...yle-hackle.html

here is a good video from hatches that shows it http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/2...ie-sulzby-pugh/

since the mono thread is clear I just go right over the top of the bead and in front leave a little thread base over each one. Some flies that use bigger beads I do it several times. This is not the greatest picture but on this fly I was doing has about 3 times over each bead cause the bead was large. On this fly I needed a section to tie other materials but you can see the mono thread. Again since it is clear it is very hard to see the wraps over the beads but works perfectly. Here is a SBS showing it at well. http://flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/081505fotw.php

I use mono thread between each bead to keep them in place. Plus I use a good thread base at the back of the beads. I tried using hard as nails as well to hold them but it desolved the paint or what ever is in the middle of the bead.

this is what will be sent tomorrow. I am sending a dozen so I assume there will be enough people in this This has been a proven producer on the Henry's fork and I bet it will work in your area

Before I sent them I changed my mind on what to send, I pm'ed bob and he was cool with me changing the pattern since we had a ton of time to get them out.

nevermind I mixed that up. Yours will go out on Monday so I can take it down to USPS and get delivery confirmation. I will PM you that number on monday.. Sorry for the mix up

My flies were dropped off at the mailbox today

Everyone has got the boxes on my end so now lets see this circulate

me and NJ worked everything out so I won't have any issues. I have had 11 successful swaps now and just had some medical issues that I have on lock now so I am good to go.

I'm in. Flies are ready to ship.. I will post all flies here in 20 minutes. Pink butt bead caddis

PM sent

there is no need to argue about this guys. The flies are sent out from the swapmiester and what is done is done. Im glad the flies made it at least and I am taking it as a lesson learned. I will making sure I have flies done and ready to ship even before I commit myself anymore so even if I end up in a bad situration they still can be on the way.

at least now we know

exactly. No hard feelings, and PLEASE keep them!! I was told they would get to you on Saturday and you waited till Saturday like you promised and USPS dropped the ball somewhere. Glad everything is good and also a happy belated Birthday

I guess that is my fault. I thought I sent you a PM. I sent 6 things out and I went down the list of my receipt and PM'ed everyone their numbers. I wish I can check my sent PM's so I can verify that I didn't exclude yours. Either way there is no need to send them back. I have several dozen of them and you can keep them for the trouble! Thanks again

I got notice that the flies came in will you confirm that? Thanks again buddy

I got word Utyer got his box today as well

Ok, the receipt number above is the delivery confirmation number. You can put that number in usps.com in the tracking and all the information will come up. Anywho go ahead and keep them. No biggie! thanks for waiting!
