Johny Utah's beetles came today I'm not to sure these are going in my bluegill box though I might have to put them in my all around box I'm sure a trout or two will fall prey to these also and thanks for the extras

Thank you. I primarily use trout flies for bluegills. Those devils eat anything. I use this pattern often in the summer for trout. It produces well.

First off, let me apologize for being late this month. June just kind of got away from me. My flies are done and will be at the PO first thing tomorrow. I was going to tie a blue dragon fly, but then I received my swap flies for the recently completed smallmouth swap and yetavon's inverted gurgler really had me intrigued. Had to tie it for this swap.

 

thanks for hosting, again, and I again apologize. Will do better in July.

Folks; I have been awol for a bit. I somehow blew off the June bluegill surface fly deadline, realized it too late at the very last minute.

I sent an explanation to our host, asking if I could include the June BG bugs with my July bass bug offerings rather than delay the June swap. Not hearing anything back, (I haven't been checking in regularly, following any problems with this swap) I just assumed this was acceptable, if not desireable.

Checking back recently in preparation of sending out both June and July offerings, I realize our host never received my message. Not sure what has happened with the new format but I am apparently having some "challenges" communicating.

So; long story short, I sent 2 doz. foam bluegill bugs late for my June submission (penance/a peace offering) along with a dozen deer hair bugs out by priority mail for my July Bass Bug offering last Friday. Our host should receive both batches this Monday (Aug. 1).

I will do better from here on with my keeping track of things. This is my first tardiness with any swaps and I have no excuse. Somehow June just came and went in the blink of an eye and I lost track of the schedule. My BAD.

Forgive me??
