jburge 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2014 A "double" set of flies arrived from DavidHE. Wow. Great work. All swappers will not go short in this swap. Thanks for the extras too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jburge 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2014 I tell you what, this group has officially been dubbed "above and beyond." Received an awesome set of flies yesterday from rockworm, and thanks to him each swapper is getting not 1, not 2, but 3 flies! Dun, Red, and Black. Wow! Thanks rockworm, and thanks for the extras!

jburge 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2014 Alrighty, ladies and germs... We nearly have all the flies in, so as soon as the last batch arrives, I'll be sorting and resending. Just a heads up on a couple of things. BassMouth87, though technically never really joined the swap, thought he might give it a go (he and I have talked), but has been unable to make it happen. That's OK! We have a number of (as DavidHE says) "over achievers" in this group, so believe you me, nobody is going short on flies. There will be plenty to go around, with quite a variety of styles and patterns. You all are amazing. Secondly, I will be on the road for a few days starting Thursday. Hopefully, I will have everything mailed before then. However, just in case... if I'm gone when our last batch of flies arrives, I promise to get them out as soon as I return--Monday, March 10 at the latest :-) Thanks!

jburge 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2014 Woohoo! All flies are in! While I was at the NW Fly Tyers Expo (along with fishingbobnelson), all flies arrived and have been sorted. First thing in the morning, they go out in the mail. Yes, we were a little short on the number of tyers, however, nobody will get anything less than 12 new flies! Pretty awesome! For those who tied extras, you'll be getting some back, but hey, this is a group that over achieves. PM me if you have any questions. Tight lines!

DavidHE 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2014 Received a great bunch of kebari today! What an awesome assortment. I wish the mountain streams in California were open so I could test them out. I've put them all in a little fly box I received for Christmas. Set a little challenge for myself, take that box out and catch a fish a fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David, check out the American *and* tributaries--all open up the hill. 0 limit and barbless :-) Glad you were able to join in! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
