Dart 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Frank! I got your flies today! They look very nice... I can definitely tell you labored over them, and it's appreciated! I also really like the extras you sent. I've never seen a leech or sedge pattern in person and the bugger pattern is new to me, with is being tied with ostrich plumes. I dig em all! I've had the fortune to be in a few swaps with you so far and I can always count on you to come through with some of the best flies. Thanks for making the return packaging easy for me as well... it's appreciated! Jeff One more set and we'll be done. I'll get pictures up and mail them out!

Are they still not there? I am really sorry that this is still carrying on. I must say that the Canadian Postal system sucks the big one sometimes. I hope they arrive soon.

Dart 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 Not yet, Justin. I check the mail everyday and I'll let you know as soon as I get 'em. I thought it was my mail that's slow... but I get flies from Spanky overnight and he's across state. Who knows... :dunno: And it's not your fault it's still carrying on. You were doing us a favor by filling a spot in the last minute! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
professori 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 it always takes my contributions over a week to get from Canada to a US destination. Our postal service absolutely sucks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dart 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 Nightly check in. Nothing yet. It looks like they were mailed Jan 27th... and today is Feb 6. That's 10 days... and I feel bad that they're not here but it's not my fault nor is it yours. I say BLAME THE GOVERNMENT! I'll check in tomorrow night with the results of the day. I'll be home around 8-9 EST. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dezod 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2009 Got the flies today and as nice as the pictures were online they did not compare in the slightest to the actual flies. Everyone did a tremendous job, the flies are beautiful and it was well worth the wait. The group is going to look great in a frame. Thanks everyone C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
