Fred H. 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2009 Guys I can't tell you what fun it is being the swapmiester for this swap . Everyday I see the mail man carring a package , I feel like a kid at X-Mas. Today he brought me Ray's (letemgo) flies . I don't have to tell you how nice they are he's posted a pic . They are each individualy set in foam on a signed recipe card. Very nice and special touch Ray.Thanks for the extras . I promise they will be fished and fished hard . Fred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
