Received Robert M's Tape Wing Caddis in yesterday's mail. Boy, these are sweet! The iridescence of the wings is really amazing. Thanks Robert!

What a great day to go to the mailbox. Actually, it was this afternoon when I picked up yesterday's mail. Received cencalfly's Kings River Caddis and Racer X's Foam Deer Hair Caddis. Cencal, these are great! Attention to detail is fabulous. And Racer X, nice job. I love the simplicity of the materials. Thanks guys!

Alrighty ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... we have our flies! Received Dezod's Lime Trudes in yesterday's mail. Wow! You are going to love these flies. They have "fish me" written all over them. Gorgeous.

 

So, that now means my job is to sort and collect and get them back to you. Give me a day to put them together and I'll get them right back in the mail for you. As soon as they're outta here I'll let you know. Then, if you all would post a reply or send a PM to let me know that you received them, that'd be great.

 

Thanks for participating, and here's to looking for goodies coming your way soon :lol:

Just a heads up y'all... the flies have left the building! Everything has been sorted, collected, perused, and dropped off. I would expect some of you might see these as early as Saturday, maybe Monday for others. Let me know when they arrive.

 

Thanks to all for participating :)

John,

 

The flies made the trip down Elk Grove - Florin Road in record time. Great set of flies thanks to all the tiers. Thanks John for hosting, look forward to your next swap. :yahoo:

Bob, yeah funny how fast that trip up the road is :-)

 

Robert M, wow, that is fast to central Texas. Way cool!

 

And Old Hat, glad they arrived safely. Heading up north was quick!

 

All, I'm still planning on posting pix of the process I used to create the "Softex" winged caddis, but it's going to take a few days. I'm wrapped up this weekend, but next week looks like it's opening up. Thanks again.

 

John
