netabrookie 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2014 Breambuster, I am agreeable to what ever you want to do, but if there is any extra flies from me then just keep them if you want them or cut the mess that I made off the hook and tie a good fly with it.

breambuster 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2014 Netabrookie, I have seen a few experienced swappers whose flies I might consider cutting off the hook, but never yours! And never a beginner, they have done their best. Your flies are always excellent in my book. OK, guys, I'm ending the swap as of now. I'll divide them up and get them in the mail either today or tomorrow. Our local post office closes at Noon on Wednesdays and so I may not get there in time. I'll let you know when they actually go into the mail. Take care BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breambuster 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2014 OK, Guys, I made it to the Post Office just in time, even though the train was parked across Main Street, blocking all traffic into and out of town. I went around to another side of town and got the the Post Office by the skin of my teeth, but your flies are headed toward you. I have been doing fly swaps for several years now, and I thought I had made every mistake possible, but when I got to the Post Office, I found out that I had made a new mistake that I had never made before. Somehow I had David Richard's flies in the envelope he used to mail them to me. We made some adjustments to the envelope and I paid the postage so that David, your flies are in the mail also. I retrieved your stamped envelope from the discards and will make adjustments to use it, myself, in the future. I am going to be posting a Nymph Swap in just a few minutes, so if any of you are interested, I would be glad to have you join us. Take care BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jburge 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2014 Jburge- what hook is yours tied on? He, he. Nice hook. I found 'em when fishingbob and I were at the NW Fly Tying Expo in Albany, OR last March. They're a European style scud/Czech nymph hook manufactured for flytyingspecialties.com. I also picked up some of their dry fly hooks, which looked very appealing as well.
