Thanks to everyone for joining in on this swap.

Everybody here. I do apologize to you all for my flies being late. This swap completely slipped my mind. Between moving across the country and re-establishing work this one fell through the cracks of the mind. The flies should be there anytime now.

Having seen the quality of gunpowderleader's flies over a couple of swaps I'm glad we didn't lose his. This should turn out to be more of a collection set than a fishing set, but then again Bergman tied his flies with the intention of being fished.

Well don't count on mine being part of the collection! LOL I was barely able to get something churned out that was half way decent and some of you may think who tied these crappy flies. This was a hard swap for me because 1. I did not have some of the right feathers that were colorful on some of the patterns and 2. I will admit some of the patterns are hard to tie I think.

add, many of the patterns are a lot harder than they appear at a glance, even looking at recipe. We just do the best we can and try to emulate flies that are set out as examples for all us to learn from.

Got my package of some of the prettier flies we're ever going to get in a swap. I know these were designed to be fish but it would be hard to let some slimy thing chew on flies looking so nice. I think these are definitely going to be a display swap. Thanks to all and j russell for graciously hosting and hanging in there to try to get the swap complete.

jmc, if your flies never show up I would be willing to give mine up so you'd have your set. I admire mine but will never fish or have many people to display them for so I could do that for you if the PO truly loses yours.
