Perfect timing!  I left my warmwater box on my tailgate yesterday.  200+ flies lost somewhere along the highway.  This assortment will be my first step towards rebuilding it.  Excited to see what’s included.

That's quite bizarre.  I added the earlier comment assuming I was logged into my account.  Apparently my new iPhone logged into an account on here I never knew existed?  Guessing I set it up years ago on an old phone, forgot and the password was saved.

Ouch!  What's missing?  Maybe we can throw a few extras your way...  

I appreciate it, but no worries.  Rebuilding the box will be a good project for me this winter. 

As for the contents, it was a mix of poppers, streamers, terrestrial patterns and nymphs I use locally for bass and panfish.

Let me, at least, suggest one for you.  I had a great year for large mouth bass with a Gray Goose Emerger.  I would not have expected the bass to take this fly let alone as much as they did.  It was a real soft take.  You didn't know they were there until you set the hook.

I appreciate the recommendation!!  And will definitely tie a few up.  I've been surprised at how willing largemouth are to take smaller offerings.  I had an 18" delicately sip a #14 cricket pattern while fishing for longear sunfish in a small stream earlier this summer.  It was quite a surprise when I set the hook and something that size exploded from the water.

 

I actually started a separate thread if anyone else has any suggestions:

A great looking group of streamers arrived in the mail this morning along with a few extras from Kim.  Big thank you to Kim for hosting and all of the tips!

Looking forward to the Nymph round!

Thanks guys for the comments AND posting the pictures!  I enjoyed hosting the swap (my first in about 9 years!) and look forward to what you'll tie in the next in this series - Nymphs.

I have not received word from everyone that they received their flies as of yet.

Is anyone missing their flies from this swap??  If yes please let me know.
