mhackney 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 Ok, I heard back from 2 of the 3. The 3rd has only had 2 post on the FTF and that was to sign up for this swap! So, I am not counting on those flies. That still leaves 11 so we'll each be donating 2 flies to Casting for Recovery. Thanks guys and gal! Cheers, Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NukeMaster 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Sorry to everybody for holding this up. Got bound up at work and the deadline snuck up on me. Anyway, they are in the First Class mail, although sometimes coming from New Mexico can seem like mail is coming from outside the US. Thanks Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mhackney 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2007 Ok, got flies fom Cavalierchamp today. Unfortunately, he did not read the swap rules and did not include return mailer and postage. I'll pick it up this time. I'll wait for NukeMaster's flies and then send them out. Everything is separated and ready to go within a few minutes. cheers, Michael My first hosted swap coming to a close! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mhackney 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2007 FLIES SENT!!! Thanks everyone! I've completed my first hosted swap. We got some great flies from everyone except the one fellow who went MIA after making 1 post. I had everything sorted and ready to go so when NukeMaster's flies came in today. I thought I was ready to go. Unfortunately, NukeMaster, buddy, you made it hard for me! He tagged each fly carefully with a little tag and a string - like a garage sale tag! Can you imagine the jumbled up mess 12 tag strings on 12 barbed hooks made? I cut all the strings off and poked the hook through the tag and then shipped everything off - "It's in the mail!" Also, there is 1 fly that has no tag - that's Cavalierchamp's fly. It was his first swap and he forgot to tag. We got some great flies, I'll try to get a group photo and post here later this week. We also got something like 25 flies for me to send to Casting for Recovery. I will include a note and mention each of your names as donators. I learned a lot about hosting a swap too! It isn't that bad! Cheers, Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
