Just finished tying them. Address please. I've never swapped internationally, anything I should be aware of. For example, how do I do the return postage? -Mike

Another good variation is to use green yarn. Use a marker to darken the front 1/3 and you have an easy bomb proof caddis. -Mike

If anyone uses the real deal I'll be amazed. Luckily there's plenty of substitutes that are a hundred times cheaper and easier to get. -Mike

My two are the Killer Bug and the Klinkhammer Special -Mike

Thanks for the kind words Christopher K. Mine came today and were swimming in a local pond within the hour. I also got pics of all the flies and will post them over in the "swap pics" thread. -Mike

A freestyle streamer I'll probably cast into a tree. -Mike

Good to hear they made it. I somehow left the orange ring off a spot on two of them but other than that I'm fairly happy with them. -Mike
