Hi everyone, I just want to apologize to everyone for holding this swap up. I had to move all of a sudden out of the blue and was not prepared for it and that held me up and it caused my cash flow to disappear at the same time. I ended up having to use a few different kinds of flies I tied up for the upcoming season so they are not all the same but mostly the same because I could not find where I packed them all and I have boxes in a few different places, I have friends holding onto my stuff till I find a permanent place to live and then I did throw in an extra fly for everyone and a couple for the swap master and I did send the best flies I have tied recently. I feel really bad about it and I will not join any more swaps unless I know I can make the date well ahead of time in the future, although I had no idea this was going to happen but also had I just did them ahead of time this wouldn't have happened. I am so sorry everyone, I promise this will never happen again. I hope the extra flies at least make up a little bit for making everyone wait. I know it's exciting to get a bunch of new flies in the mail and having to wait extra time sucks so feel free to beat me and dunk me in the river if we ever cross paths, I deserve it. I hope I didn't disturb anyone's plans to fish these flies on a day they were planning to try them out. I really do feel awful about this but please know I had no idea I was going to have to pack up and leave the place I was staying at the way that went down and I'm only in a temporary residence right now and my dog is in a kennel that I am volunteering my time at as to offset the kennel fees and that way I get to spend time with him and he gets to see me almost everyday. I just want everyone to know that it's a really a bad situation that came up on me fast and all of a sudden without warning so everyone doesn't think that I just didn't care about this, because this means a lot to me to be able to participate in something so great. So very sorry, it will never happen again, please don't be upset with me. I hope everyone isn't to mad or upset with me being so late with this swap and know I feel terrible about it. Dan

I went through this thread looking to see if anyone else would mention Black and Blue, I'm surprised to not see that combo mentioned. I like to do a black estez body with blue tail and black and blue hackle combo. This black and blue combo has accounted for almost all my largest bass large and small mouth. If you haven't go ahead try it. Cast and hold on because a big pull is about to happen.

I joined to get in on some of the fly swaps you guys got going on here. I thought best introduce myself with a few flies I tied up

If there ends up being 3rd round I'd love to join soft hackles are my fav, which one to do will take longer to think of then to tye the flies because I love so many patterns. I just joined this site to get in on the swaps and I couldn't believe how many you guys got going on!
