Johnw1986 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2021 May need to start allowing more participants per swap to make it worth the extra charge maybe instead of 12, more like 20 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2021 Personally I hate doing anymore than 12 swappers at a time but what I would rather do is 12 swappers but two different flies. If you want to tie 20 or 24 the same but my mind goes dead by about 6 and I have to do something different and come back to the original the next day. I might tie 50 flies over 5 days but only 12 will be the swap flies spread out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishingbobnelson 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2021 This is why we no longer have international swappers, over $30.00 for some to swap. Time for Washington to realize the Post Office is a service not a business. Services are supposed to cost money. No one says, "Geez the Army lost 6 Billion dollars last year."

skeet3t 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2021 We still have one of the best post systems in the world. Postal workers in an African country went on strike. Mail piled up behind the post offices. When the strike was settled, they burned the mail rather than deliver it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they bought and used 20 less toilets they'd make up that deficit in short order! Kim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
