Hey guys, got word the final package reached my place today. I'm away from home with what I'll call a "family issue", and hopefully I'll be back in 2 or 3 days to get the flies shipped out to y'all.

Thanks to everyone that participated. I can likely get pictures of the flies when I return if everybody likes.

Thanks,

Dave

I've been away on several trips the last few weeks. My girlfriend of 3 years left on Jan 9th, and I made several trips to try to reconcile, and had a trip to doctors in halifax, and to visit my friends.

All the flies have arrived, and will be shipped out Thursday when I am going to be home for at least a few days.

Just an untimely event in my life, depending on where each of you are it could be a week or two before the flies show up, which all depends on the good old postal service. (Sjo, yours might take a bit longer to reach the netherlands)

Thanks,

Dave

Sory to hear the bad news I have not looked at this swap and convinced myself the other day that I had received the flies. I hope things are better.

Hey guys,

I thought I had been keeping everyone up to date on the progress of this swap, but Joe Hard says a few of you are concerned, so I'll give ya the final update.

As of January 9th, I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off, as my girlfriend of over two years up and left, leaving me searching for a financial backing, and some time to fix the hurt and shock of it all. The last package of flies only arrived on the 11th of January, about a month later then first couple sets. Since the ninth, I've only been home for a few hours at a time, as I was away trying to reconcile my relationship, and trying to find some $$.

Friday, I was able to ship out 4 of the 5 packages, but due to increased rates, and the thickness of the fly protecting boxes, they were more expensive then thought. Joe's came to $7.82, Spey's was $5.95, CJcall's was $5.95, GS's was $5.95, and, Sjo's was $7.30 to The Netherlands. (Yes, cheaper then sending Joe's about 100 KM, gotta love canada Post) I was 50 cents short on Sjo's package, so it will be shipped out today, Monday. The girlfriend had snatched the swap money out of my dresser before she left, so i had to cover this myself, which isn't any problem. The flies are more then worth it.

Hope that is what everyone was looking for. By the way, all the flies were excellent, and the bonus swapmeister flies were excellent too!

Thanks everyone, the guys in the states, it'll be 1 - 2 weeks probably, Joe, it should only take a couple days to reach you, and Sjo, probably at least 2 weeks for yours to show up.

Thanks guys!

Dave :)
