riffleriversteelheadslayer 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 Claudia I will wait for yours I'm sure no one is in a great rush to absolutly get these flies so far I haven't received a fly that isn't mount worthy all of them are to pretty to fish except mine I actually fished one of the flies I tied for this swap on my honeymoon and managed 3 gills over 9 inches on it so I have to tie another to replace it for the swap because I don't send used flies :hyst: :hyst: :hyst: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ibian 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 I thought it would be nice to add some polar bear to my fly :wallbash: and now I am advised not to send polar bear across the border so I'll be starting again tonight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guys and girls, I am so sorry but I cant deliver any flies to this swap, I have tried to tie and tie but the flies looks at crap :wallbash: :wallbash: and my hands shaking,so I must pull me out and I hope that I not pose any inconvenience to you great fly tiers.
