I am very sorry for the delay in getting the swap in the mail. I have been dealing with the return of my wife's Lymphoma. She was admitted to the hospital this morning for her Chemo. Anyway thanks for a great swap I hope you have an amazing season on the water. Tight Lines, Bob Tracking info by PM -

Picked up jburge's Adams emergers at lunch today. I have all the flies and will sort and mail them as soon as I can. Wife has surgery tomorrow, so it will be a day or two before I get to the PO. Tight Lines and thanks to everyone who joined the swap. This is a great looking set of flies. -

I'll take the Zug Bug. The Zug Bug was the first fly I tied for my first swap on the Forum. I don't think I have tied more that a half dozen since. Hope these are better than the first ones. -

Got a bunch of flies from flytire today, can't wait to get these wet. -
Once upon a time this site was sponsored by J. Stockard. I don't know why that ended. Since the web provider was changed a lot of features that would attract new tyers are gone. Probably the biggest loss was the fly pattern data base. Thousands of fly patterns, with recipes that you could scan by member. Also gone are the Forums for posting trout flies, salmon steelhead flies, which would them be added to the data base. Being able to go to back pages is now impossible if there are more than 5. You used to be able to see who was online at the bottom of the page. You could look them up and see what, if anything, they were posting. I know the original administrators of this site have lost interest, which is why they changed to a cheaper provide which has not done us any favors. I so miss the days 10 to 15 years ago, when there were several new swaps every week. In those days most swaps would fill the same day they were posted. I just love swapping flies, but postage costs keep going up, they priced our international swappers out of the Forum completely. We used to have so many Canadian members whose flies I miss.
