WOW!!!! I know my next addition to my desk. O2Fsh

All flies went out today. Sorry for the delay, family emergency took me out of the country. Home yesterday...mailed today. O2Fsh

Some really cool shrimp arrived yesterday from Hong Kong. One more arrival and they go out! O2Fsh

Some nicely tied (tiny) shrimp patterns arrived from Tracy, CA yesterday. Wow!!! The skill it takes to tie that small is beyond me. Maybe that's why I tie larger flies...easier to see and to hide errors......I'll let ya'll decide. Two more sets and I can mail them out. O2Fsh

PM'd my address Bob. O2Fsh

Some REALLY nice green shrimp arrived from ME yesterday. Police report several stripers lurking in my neighborhood. O2Fsh

Did everyone receive their flies? O2Fsh

Bob, Thanks for supporting this swap. Glad to be in another one with you. As to the pattern.... ANY shrimp pattern you wish to tie. Size is up to you. I fish saltwater and use larger shrimp patterns (2-3/0) but would welcome any pattern offered in this swap. Only one space left!!

Don't worry Sjo. I am glad to work with you. We'll get the flies back to you without troubles. O2Fsh

Hope they serve you well!!!! You sure tied some nice ones as well! O2Fsh

Two more???

Aroo, To clarify: Each tier is to tie ten identical flies. Any shrimp pattern. 6 tiers tying 10 flies=2 flies to each of the other 5 participants. You will not get copies of your own pattern back. If you're in, that makes 4/6..... anyone else? O2Fsh

Glad to welcome any tiers. As long as you make sure you cover your postage. U.S. postage rates JUST went up. The international coupons worked, but typically were too little. Consider doubling your rate. O2fsh

Okay, anyone interested in a shrimp pattern swap? I'll limit it to 5 tiers (plus myself). Each participant must tie 10 flies, two for each person in the swap. Mail them to me, along with return postage and envelope. Each tier will get 10 shrimp in five patterns to try in their local waters. With a more detailed pattern, I was thinking of May 30th for a deadline. Plenty of time to get them tied, marked, and mailed. SWAP IS FULL O2fsh 1. O2Fsh 2. djgunter 3. Sjo 4. Aroostookbasser 5.

All flies went out. I paid everyone's postage difference. No worries!!!!!! Beautiful flies I enjoyed hosting!!
