    Hi all, sorry for my absence, the flies arrived last week, been on holidays to the Canaries so had some hectic weeks before that meeting deadlines and some hectic days afterwards starting up my experiments again. But now all is running and ongoing so I'll be around a bit more. The flies look great, some of them I think will work fine on seabass also, will let you know next spring when they have returned to our coastal waters. Thanks to all!
  2. Mine went out yesterday, travel time so far varied between 3 days and 13 days to get to the US, so I should meet the deadline...

    No tracking numbers available, but it takes between 6 and 10 days to get something over there so no reason to panic yet...
  4. Sure will! Thanks all.
  5. I'm in, will tie a peeping caddis nymph.

    Mine were mailed yesterday, probably hoovering somewhere mid-atlantic now...
  11. I've just read the topics involved, and must agree that some people tend to draw their conclusions a bit too soon. Probably I'm just too tolerant as it comes to these matters but I must agree with Herman and some others who tried to temper reactions a little that sometimes people get tied up in things that are way more important than hobbies and fun stuff. After all this all is just to have some fun, and of course it is unpleasant that a swap gets delayed or people drop out, nevertheless keep in mind it might happen to you as well and at that point you will be far more happy with some compassion instead of hard words and hasty conclusions. Happy swapping to all...
  12. For those who are not familiar with circle hooks, these have an amazing way of clinching to a fish. The barb is absolutely redundant and I always remove it to prevent too much damage to fish which I usually to put back. In the previous picture one can just see the tip of the hook peeking though on top.

    I have tied mine on a size 4, since I useually fish for pike in places (polder) where they only get up to 70 cm. The real big ones are out in canals which are far less fun to fish... They will be in mail this afternoon (morning for where you are). tight lines!

    Addy please... all tied
  15. Found a free slot to work on them, they went out last saturday Looking forward to the others!
  16. I'll try to come by some US $, should be ok... I will tie this: Don't really know the 'species' name but it's a coachman allright...
  17. Was that 25000 or 24999 after your post??
  18. I can only send a SAEWSPMI since US stamps are hard to come by in Europe (surprisingly)... SAEWSPMI = (self adressed envelope with some paper money inside) Hope that will be accepted by FlyTime...
  19. I'm in! p.s. what is a SASE??
  20. I will be tied up untill this weekend but will hopefully mail my entries by tuesday. The trip to the US might take them a while, so I'm afraid I'm not going to make it before the 24th. If I have a few hours to spare I will try to finish before the weekend...sorry all if I'm late.
  21. One less to go... (and bumped up again )
  22. Any news yet on G.S.'s flies?

    I'm in, pattern to be determined yet
  24. My entry was mailed yesterday, it has some distance to cover (Europe --> USA) but think it will be there within a week or 2. Hopefully the counter will be at 199976 just before my birthday, and of cours all will congratulate me on it , thereby giving me a nice birthday present (a.k.a. - 26 flies) :headbang:
