WOW!!!! I know my next addition to my desk. O2Fsh

All flies went out today. Sorry for the delay, family emergency took me out of the country. Home yesterday...mailed today. O2Fsh

Some really cool shrimp arrived yesterday from Hong Kong. One more arrival and they go out! O2Fsh

Some nicely tied (tiny) shrimp patterns arrived from Tracy, CA yesterday. Wow!!! The skill it takes to tie that small is beyond me. Maybe that's why I tie larger flies...easier to see and to hide errors......I'll let ya'll decide. Two more sets and I can mail them out. O2Fsh

PM'd my address Bob. O2Fsh

Some REALLY nice green shrimp arrived from ME yesterday. Police report several stripers lurking in my neighborhood. O2Fsh

Did everyone receive their flies? O2Fsh

Bob, Thanks for supporting this swap. Glad to be in another one with you. As to the pattern.... ANY shrimp pattern you wish to tie. Size is up to you. I fish saltwater and use larger shrimp patterns (2-3/0) but would welcome any pattern offered in this swap. Only one space left!!

Don't worry Sjo. I am glad to work with you. We'll get the flies back to you without troubles. O2Fsh

Hope they serve you well!!!! You sure tied some nice ones as well! O2Fsh

Two more???

Aroo, To clarify: Each tier is to tie ten identical flies. Any shrimp pattern. 6 tiers tying 10 flies=2 flies to each of the other 5 participants. You will not get copies of your own pattern back. If you're in, that makes 4/6..... anyone else? O2Fsh

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

Okay, anyone interested in a shrimp pattern swap? I'll limit it to 5 tiers (plus myself). Each participant must tie 10 flies, two for each person in the swap. Mail them to me, along with return postage and envelope. Each tier will get 10 shrimp in five patterns to try in their local waters. With a more detailed pattern, I was thinking of May 30th for a deadline. Plenty of time to get them tied, marked, and mailed. SWAP IS FULL O2fsh 1. O2Fsh 2. djgunter 3. Sjo 4. Aroostookbasser 5.

All flies went out. I paid everyone's postage difference. No worries!!!!!! Beautiful flies I enjoyed hosting!!

Slight delay. Flies are completed and packaged. Must go to the post office. Mailman would not take them with the international postage coupons at the curb. She said I need to go to the counter. Going Saturday morning after picking up my wife from the airport. Flies will go out Saturday. O2Fsh

Seems like everyone is in.... Mine will be done this evening. Should all go out tomorrow's mail.

Some VERY nice CT flies arrived yesterday. That explains the Striper I found in the yard...... O2Fsh

DAMN at the flies the Canadian tied!!!! Very nice black blue and white Clouser with a turned-up eye. Definitely going to copy that one..... The fish stand no chances so far guys. Lets get 'em in, so I can get 'em out to you. O2Fsh

Came home to some Canadian Clousers in my mailbox. Noticed three fish flopping in the street attempting to get them out of the mailbox. I'll open the box in seclusion later today. Deadline is approaching and I only have the Australian and Canadian (besides my own flies) in hand. O2Fsh

Just got an envelope full of well tied Australian Clousers. You guys are going to love these!!!! O2Fsh

Just rest up and heal. Don't worry about the flies. O2Fsh

No flies have arrived yet. Three have shipped theirs to me. O2Fsh

Damn post office smashed my box...again. However, the rubble contained some VERY nice flies!!! Thanks for the flies. O2Fsh

I am in CT. O2Fsh
