patrick carroll 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2011 well, gurgler tyers, I'm at a loss for words!!! Don't have a clue where the last package of gurglers could be hiding. Friday is the deadline, no more delays. again I apologize, hopefully the awesome gurglers you have sent will offset the late delivery. I really enjoy the opportunity being involved with this swap, for you first timers hopefully it will be one of many swaps for you to get involved with. don't let the delay of this swap create any hesitancy to get into other swaps. have a good one pat carroll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patrick carroll 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2011 well, the gurgler packages are taped and ready to mail out. my intentions are to mail them out tomorrow. flyderaght, my only attempt to mail flies to Canada,a few years ago, was an adventure. hopefully things will run smoothly. mr.vegas, no show with your package. when they show up, I'll return them.couldn't hold the swap up any longer. sorry, you missed out on some great gurglers. gurgler tyers, you are some fine tyers, and thanks for an awesome display of talent!!! very shortly, this old, old guy is going to hang up the swap meister hat and get into playing around with some woodworking. recently, I got involved with intarsia which has been very addictive!!! stay tuned and let me know when your pakages show up, have a good one pat carroll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacktjl 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2011 Pat, Thanks for hosting this swap. I too am a woodworker and find the two hobbies complementary. I was able to make my desk, tying station and storage area for both interests. Best of all, the enlightenment for the creativity seems to happen while I am fishing so don't forget to recharge on the crick, creek, stream, lake, pond, river, or ocean.

patrick carroll 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2011 hopefully in the next couple days, you "gurgler tyers" , will finally get your hands on the bass and gill slayers. I was able to make the trip to the post office. don't know if your neck of the woods is ready for any fishing, but you must be getting a little antsy. southern californee today was in the 70's , and possibly a little warmer over the weekend. have a great weekend and try to behave pat carroll Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheYiman 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2011 Big Thank You to Pat for hosting this swap! Just in time for some Spring Bassin. Everyone's flies are great and I can't wait to get them wet. I am sure they are going to end up sticking some Smallies around here. Lots of great ideas, colors, techniques displayed here. These are some buggy flies that will push some water. Once again thanks to Pat for hosting and thanks to everyone else who participated!!! :headbang: I have got to do one more then I plan on hosting myself. Just waiting for another warmwater as that is what I am into these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
