eastern fly 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2012 Mines in the post today so hopefully reach you by 21st That date is not the due date. It is however how long I will take people in the swap, then close it. At that poing we will work with what we have. I would like to know what the others think on how we can do it. I do like your idea. I will have to order more materials to do different flies. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sjo 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2012 Hi Kevin & co-swappers, I'm fine tying 3 times four tubes, in fact I love doing different tube-styles. I've got all the material I need, but I must first complete two other swaps. Greets Sjo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crackaig 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2012 That is a joke isn't it? "With you by the 21st!!!" This is the Royal Mail we are talking about here. Mind you I did notice you didn't say what month or year. Recent performance on cross Atlantic flies is two to six weeks. Cheers, C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Um, the last 5 swaps arrived in 10days from leaving PO here in village so 21st should be about right. Try and send a parcel to Derby and I agree, that takes about 3 months and must involve the PO recruiting the john O groat lands end walkers to work in shifts dropping the post off along the route. Either that or the pigeons are getting fatter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eastern fly 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2012 Ok guys we all ne to understand there is no due date yet. I have to order material and I also know we have 3 international swappers. I know this takes time to get. I have had many, many swaps with Sjo in the take time to get them. After I get my stuff that I am ordering I will pm everyone to see what time they need to get them to me. Have fun and I hope to learn something from this swap. I am a pure virgin to tube flies so I'm looking forward to doing more. I also plan later to buy a dedicated tube vice. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riffleriversteelheadslayer 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2012 I got the idea from a swap I hosted Curtisfly did a popper head on a tube with a hopper behind it for panfish the damn thing caught so many gills it scared me so I started tying my bass poppers on tubes and just putting the tailing material on the hook so I could change to different tails that might offer more or less movement depending on what is going on with the fish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should work as a top water for salmon and seatrout too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
