Still no flies today. Should I be worried? O2Fsh

Smashed box of flies arrived today. Figured the Post Office wouldn't smash a metal box. Oh well. Several nice flies. Thanks for the flies. Good Swap. O2Fsh

Li'lDave, Sent you a PM. O2Fsh

Shad has his flies tied!!! PM'd my address to you Shad. O2Fsh

Ctious, Tie ten of the same flies. They should be as close to identical as you can. You decide on pattern and size.... as long as they are clousers. O2Fsh

Well, ctious and li'lDave filled it!!!! Let's have some fun and tie some awesome flies!!! Get em' in on time and I'll get them right back to you!!!! I fish primarily salt water for stripers and blues. You guys? O2Fsh

On their way. O2Fsh

My pattern turned out a little shorter than I think they are supposed to be, but the local guys (I am new to Pike fishing) swear by them. Thanks for hosting, I am hosting my first swap starting today. O2Fsh

SWAP IS FULL For my first swap I would like to host a twin clouser swap. Each swapper is to tie two identical clousers for each swapper, ten total. First five swappers responding with "I'm in" will tie ten identical clousers and mail them to me by 20APR11. I will distribute the clousers, each participant getting two from every other participant and mail them straight away. Each tier will get ten clousers to use in their local waters. Please don't forget your return envelope. PM me for my address. Come on folks, let see some cool clousers!!! I am in with a #1 saltwater pattern. O2Fsh

Mine go out tomorrow. I'll express mail them. Please don't mail out the others yet... O2Fsh

Address please. O2Fsh

No flies here yet. And send the spares to Trout with thanks from a fellow veteran. O2Fsh

PM me your address and next time I blast geese I'll send you some feathers. I also find lots of turkey feathers during my work in the summer. Walk around the woods, you'll be surprised what you find. O2Fsh

I am going to have to finish these flies this weekend. In the mail on Monday. O2Fsh

Pat, Thanks for hosting!!! I thought you'd keep the extras I put in the mix. Nice tying everyone. Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can stick these gurglers in a fish, or six. Mike

Got mine today. Nice looking group of flies. Hope you all enjoy the crease popper. Shake it, it rattles. Mike

WHEW!!

Okay, now I am really confused..... am I in this swap or not? On the initial page it says swap is full next to my name. Was I bumped out? Never in? Or what? I was posting on here back and forth..... ya'll think I backed out? Should I finish my flies? Mike

I'm all for giving Vegas a chance to get his in. He's a square guy. Mike

Who's flies are missing? Mike

Thanks for the update Rob. Mike

I wander through Good Will stores every now and then. Lots of stuff other folks throw out can be used in fly tying. I often find old fur coats for nearly nothing. Yarn, hats, decorations, scarves, etc... are goldmines of materials. I got a piece of orange craft fur 12" X 12" for a dollar. I just had to get rid of the rest of the Halloween decoration. Mike
