Piker20 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2013 Same with some brownies. Look a great set. Not sure id be ready just yet for another wet wing swap but give it a few months. Really enjoyed tying 'proper' flies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ebrant10 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2013 Yeah i go through a wet fly phase every winter it seems like, still messing with them but soon it will be time to start tying for warm weather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishingbobnelson 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2013 A great bunch of flies in my mailbox this afternoon. Thanks Evan for hosting such a great swap. Thanks to all the swappers for some beautiful flies, some of which are almost too pretty to fish. I can't wait to get these babies wet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimboha! 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2013 Ditto, and double ditto! Mine came today and I'm anxious to use them. Right now they'd actually be dry flies because we've had single-digit temps for the past 3 weeks an everything is frozen over! Thanks for hosting, Evan! Jimboha!
