My gpaw is fine, he is going into phy therapy but on a good note, the flies will be overnight mailed tomorrow as in Firday here in PA. Got pounded with snow today, was gonna stop on the way home from school today but could barely make it down good old 79. Mom is doing me a favor and mailing em tomorrow, enjoy! -bly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTW do any of us have a camera that they could take a picture of their received flies and post it, I think all the flies are great and we should show em off a bit!

Mr. Trout 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2005 Ok all the flies are in I am going to the post office right now to mail them. Again I would like to thank everyone for their participation in this swap which resulted in great batch of flies. You all should have them shortly. I would also like to thank everyone who included extra flies for me to enjoy, now I really need some new fly boxes! Ladies and gentlemen this concludes the Great Lakes Steelhead Swap!

Mr. Trout 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2005 Great thanks RJ. Well I just got back from the post office and things didnt go as smooth as I hoped. First, anyone that sent a SASE with American stamps, they werent worth the paper they were printed on. Canada Post only accepts Canadian postage stamps, for postage. For anyone participating in Canadian hosted swaps, you should use the universal postage coupons as a couple guys did, for return postage. Second, any containers over 23mm (not sure of the conversion) had to be sent at a more expensive rate. If it was over 23mm, it cost around $4CAN and if it was under in was $1.70CAN. So anyway I covered all the costs (about $13CAN plus all the universal postage coupons I had received (6x $1.75US, I hope you guys dont mind me using them), hoping the favour would be returned one day if need be. I hope everyone enjoys their flies, I certainly will. PS- If you did put stamps on an envelope they could still be good to use if you can get them off.
