Flytyer14 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2011 I got more today, from BegginerFlytyer. Although I still only have 8 sets. If they are not mailed by the the 5th then I will have to take you out of the swap (this is a message for everyone!). I will send the extra flies back to their owners unless otherwise stated by them here. Thank you all. -Mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
