Looks like we have another drop.

 

From here on out, if anybody drops out, we won't replace that spot. It's too much of a pain looking for replacements. Whoever is left on the final month (December) will receive a special Christmas present from me. I can't tell you what it is but it will be something fly related but not a fly. So the more people who drop out, the easier it will be on my wallet. :hyst:

 

How does that sound?

 

Here are the current survivors left.

 

1. Stony

2. riffleriversteelheadslayer

3. RDL

4. juice

5. chrisfish

6. rockworm

7. Worstcaster

8. ronc23

9. Professori

Survivor Swap

 

Survivor Swap. Thats awesome.

 

We bring in 20 people and each month, the guy with the worst fly gets voted out. :hyst:

 

We should start one of those up. That would be awesome.

 

 

Working on my July swap right now and am having a heck of a time figuring out the adult caddis pattern. I know the stimulator style but am messing around with quill wing and web wing caddis. Having a rough time on it.

 

Me and wings aren't exactly the closest of drinking buddies.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on in awhile. FTF won't give me back my password so I had to create a new screen name.

 

Anyways, I currently have a few flies that have been sent to me.

 

Juice - 1 swap

RiffleRiver.... - 1 swap

Worstcaster - 1 swap

Chrisfish - 1 swap

Rockworm - 2 swaps

 

Anyways, I am afraid that due to some dire circumstances I am going to have to not only bail out of my own swap but I am selling 98% of my fly tying stuff and also my fly fishing gear. I will not be tying flies for quite awhile.

 

So, I will be sending the flies that have been sent to me already back to you guys.

 

I am sorry that I won't be finishing this swap out but my current situation must take 110% of my focus currently.

 

Thank you all for getting into my swaps and for all of the great flies you contributed. It was very fun and we actually made this one last for quite awhile.

 

If anybody is interested in purchasing my fly tying equipment and materials, the post should be up on the trading floor soon.

 

Thanks all.

Stony, Sorry to here about the change in plans. Hope everything is O.K.

 

Thanks for hosting, man. It was good while it lasted.

 

I was just going to mail out this months flys & wondering how I was going to complete the "Santa Swap" (I got a lot going on too).

 

So there is a good side to this.

 

You can keep my box if you have a use for'em.

 

Thanks again Stony & Fellow Swapers, Juice
