Mr. Vegas

I got some great stimulators from Kbranch today!! Thanks buddy!!

Yes I sent them last saturday. I know I fixed the problem since I went to the Post office myself and shipped yours and the popper swap. Which he has not got either. I have sent out 8 other swaps in the last 2 weeks and they all got theirs so far. Here is a deal. If you do not see them monday I will send them priority with a tracking number so you can have in 2 days and be able to track it along the way. That is how I will be sending all my swaps from now on. Also on Saturday I did get your 157 flies out for your donation swap!

MINE ARE THE ONES MISSING :wallbash: .. Everyone knows how long it takes to make another set with painting and clearing and all. If you don't receive them by monday I really don't know what to say. I have successfully sent out 8 swaps so far so it is not like I don't know the rules .. I don't want to hold this up. If you don't see them tomorrow just go ahead and send everyones out. If they decide to make it to you just go ahead and keep them for being sooooooo... patient with me.

That rain we got was embarrasing! just as much as the postal service

are you using clear or white thread? Thanks Fred

I tried vegemite for the first time the other week... YEAH!! that is not for me.. We hve a good international market here and got a lot of weird stuff and negative!

your peacock, is that natural and purple?

hey Zach, I get a ton of stuff from the craft store. Also call your local taxidermist and see if they have any spare or cut of skins of just about anything they have. Just yesterday I called and they have some zebra and lion waiting for me.

sorry double post

awesome! Thank you. Also here in about 2 months I will send another box if that is cool?

Thanks for the address I will get this out to you ASAP Also THANK YOU very much for validating this swap. I hope these flies work for you

great pictures and GREAT FLIES!!!! I wish I was tying flies at 16 HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY!

if you can post some good pics I am. I liked what I saw but the pics they had were small

I like your new avatar Panama!

yeah its only 4:30pm here in vegas. I just know it is a 9 hour difference for you. Great tie again

geezz you should see my middle of the night ties. That makes it what? 1:30 am over there

great colors and tie!

and I lost

I really didn't notice that till you mentioned it! GREAT JOB

what brand and size hook you using?

i think this is a great looking hopper! Keep them coming

I hate to do this but everyone does need verification that this is going to the cause you say. PLEASE Don't take offense to this but I have seen people try to take flies for a donation and then just keep them. Can we get any verification that this is legit. AGAIN!!!! please understand we all want to help the cause we just want to make sure it is going to where it is stated it will. I do remember you stating this "I got in touch with the Mid-Atlantic Director for Project Healing Waters. They are going to get back to me and give me the logistics and information I will need to set up the swap/fly and fly box donation. Then we can decide how many boxes of flies we are going to donate and the quantity of flies in each. My thoughts before talking to them might seem a little big, but I'm thinking 12 boxes of flies with at least 60 flies per box. The fly types I would be looking for from the swappers would be dry flies, wet flies, nymphs, terrestrials with maybe a few streamer thrown in also. Once I get the details straightened out with the tackle expert from Project Healing Waters I will post the swap details and we can then go from there. Project healing Water is having a Spruce Creek, PA event from July 31 to August 3, 2011." Just any verification will ease the members minds and get your more donations

Here is my suggestion on what is going to happen, You are asking for a dozen flies but since this is for a charity event you are going to get people wanting to donate way more then what you are asking for. There is a lot of heart on this forum and they are always willing to help people in a bad situation. Like me I had a lot of different patterns I wanted to donate. I believe it was 21 different patterns but since some of them only were a couple flies or were 10 flies but different colors. My suggestion is not to limit them to the patterns. Most will tie for this but some like myself will go into my backstock and pull flies they already have tied. If you have a huge amount of flies to come in you might want to expand your options to not just your local PHW and maybe send some out to others through out the country. Just my 2 cents
