bigdewy 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2009 I just got back from dropping your packages off at the Post Office. They should start landing in mailboxes all across North America in the next few days. Thanks to each of you for putting your best effort in to these super ties! Thanks also for your generosity to the Swapmeister! You 4 Canadians all sent too much money for postage. I didn't know how much it was going to be until the clerk figured it up, so I didn't include any refunds in the packages. I also didn't keep track of who sent which amount. So, let me know by PM how much you sent me and I'll forward some cash back to each of you. All twelve of you are great tiers! You guys rock! Thanks again for a swap that was smooth as a baby's behind!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rp3flyfisher 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2009 Damm, I am leaving for a 3 week long fishing trip all over BC and Washington state tomorrow. To bad they won't get here before that, would have been great to fish some of these patterns. I will see them when I get home. Rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ColonelMel 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2009 Mine came in Thursday mail. Lots of fun checking them out and trying to figure out how some of them were tied. Already searching for some new materials. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rich5665 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2009 Got my flies today :headbang: I can't wait to try these out. I'll be headed to PA to fish the Gap in the morning. Should be interesting with all the rain we had. I may breakdown a spend the $27.00 for the 3 day license and hit some of the smaller streams. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
