I have received my package as well. Now the wait....

Thanks

Very cool. The best type of friends to have are hunters lol.

I came into work a few days ago. On my desk was a black trash bag which looked a little interesting. After opening the bag I realized I had about 3 wild turkeys worth of feathers. Customer of mine went turkey hunting and shared the love.

Got to love it. Happy tying

Thanks again for hosting. I look forward to this swap every year.

After checking out all the it looks like everyone killed it! Great looking boxes and tying everyone. 

This is one of my favorite swaps every year as i look forward to opening a cool box on Christmas morning.

Thanks everyone for joining and thanks for being an awesome host as well Nic.

Mine is in the mail as well. Post says it should be to your PO Box on Monday.

Thanks for hosting as always.

I am in on this one! I will PM you with my preferences as I need to think about it lol.

Thanks for hosting.

I would start by saying I love to host, and swap.

I would be interested in what everyone's ideas are to improve this section and bring life back to it. I have hosted a bunch over the years and when doing so i will add extra items to the swap to try entice other to join, not sure if that actually helps or not but i have given some cool stuff away.

Shipping has been a challenge for sure. Is there a way, that isn't to expensive, to have tracking on every package?

I also think as fall and winter roll onto us more people will be tying. This is the time of year I start stocking boxes back up.

Still nothing on my end. I deal with a lot of shipping and receiving at work and it seems all the shipping companies are unreliable at best currently.

Still nothing for me. Got to love USPS.

Copy that, I will keep an eye on this one and will let you know when it arrives.

I am in WA so I figured I would have gotten mine first.

With that being said, USPS has had some serious delays going on.

Just wanted to check in. I have yet to receive mine.

Maybe it was returned?

Any word on this one? Working on 2 weeks past due.....

I cannot type.  

My wife thinks fishing for a fish that you "just throw back" is a great waste of time.  So maybe it was a Freudian slip.

I told her that growing flowers that you can't eat was a waste of time, too.  She said that was different. 

My wife is the same. Whenever we go fishing she always asks "do we get to keep these ones"?.

I am all finished up and will get mine in the post Monday.

Thanks for being a part guys. Watch out for the next one.

Firehole tungsten beads? Firehole jig hooks. Let me know what your next swap is going to be and I'll start pre-tying. Looking forward to these and will work for panfish I'm sure and maybe even get to trout water later this year.

By the way, one of the contributors to our Santa Swap with packages for everybody in swap was Mel's  https://thebluegillbugshop.com/pages/fly-tying-hooks  who now has in stock the longer shanked jig hooks. One of my few complaints has always been the short shanks on the 60 degree jig hooks and I'm going to order some of these to check them out.

 

That's awesome, I will check out the website and see what I can get.

There is a couple bluegill catchers in there for sure.

I am currently in the foam sway, so once I get those tied and i come up with a new idea I will be posting a new swap. I always try to mix it up and do something different with some cool prizes.  I would say keep an eye out but as a mod you have to lol.

Good Morning Everyone,

Thanks for participating in this one. All the flies have been "swapped" and are going in the post today.

We had a good mix of flies for this one, which was great to see. I am looking forward to fishing them very soon.

Richmce, and his grandson included a little material that they used on their flies. I have included this in everyone's package in addition I randomly inserted some material into everyone's package as a thank you for joining. In addition, the two sets of flies I received first will have the "grand prizes if you will. The first package in received a nice package of Firehole tungsten slotted beads, and the second package received had a package of Firehole jig hooks added.

Again, thanks everyone for joining, getting your flies in quick, and all the extras.

Keep an eye out for the next swap.

Hey Steve. Wasn't able to message you, but wanted to check in and see how the flies were coming along? Due date is April 1st. 

Good Morning Everyone,

Please note the due date for this swap is April 1st. I know there is a couple sets in the mail, and there are others I have not heard from

I will start PM'ing people this week if I don't hear from them.

Get them going guys!

Thanks

I will be tying some sort of Chubby. I happen to purchase a foam cutter before you posted the swap so now i have an excuse to use it lol.

Thanks for the updates guys! Looking forward to seeing them.
