Paul, it does actually have a bit of sparkle to it.

Unless you live outside the USA, let me know and I will send you a small patch of the possum to use. It is a true dream to work with, and has a fabulous color.

I have all but shoebop and Riff's flies as of Saturday. Sorry for being so late posting this, but it's been a busy week and weekend.

Tasmanian Possum is Reddish brown, not so much as gray.

I got a beautiful set of flies from XrayTS in the mail yesterday, but come on guys it's the first of the month and I still have 5 sets left to receive. Please let me know if you want out or if you're still in and the flies are in the mail. The late flies early on were my fault, but I don't want it to be the standard. Thanks. Blane

Since I've never really done quill bodies I gonna go with some Tazmanian Possum for the body. Grilled Possum hook: size 14 dry tail: yellow grizzly hackle fibers body: Tasmanian possum hair wing: pale yellow CDC hackle: brown and grizzly dry hackle

I'm the one running behind this month, 2 trips to the hospital and several days off work where I never really left my bed have put me way behind for this months flies.

Tony, they made it here, I guess I forgot to post it, my bad.

There is a book called "Dynamic Nymphing" that was written by the USA Fly Fishing Team coach, he breaks it down very well. He was a speaker at one of our club meetings a few months ago.

Ok, so I've only gotten 5 sets of flies in for this month, I'm getting worried that many of you will be late and I promised one of the guys that I would have them out by the 7th. Let's not make a liar out of the SM please.

yup

Got sets in from both joseph russell and fishinbobnelson in today's mail. Great looking ties folks.

I'd love to do a return on this one again.

Got a killer looking set of flies in the mail from Border Collies today.

Congrats Steve!!! April 12 was 22 years for me, one of the best things I ever did for myself. I rediscovered my nose and tongue could bring me much pleasure, food and life were never again to be boring and dull. I love to cook now and the bad side is that the pounds started adding up so that's the next step.

Yes, that's about it.

Google it, I bet there is one around you.

Got a fabulous set of polish nymphs from fishinbobnelson in the mail today.

Basic swap rules apply, except from July you will ship to a different address.

Ok then you're in. This months fly is a czech/polish nymph. Due by the 30th, can you do that?

How many swaps have you participated in?

We had a drop out happen for the Swap Club 2014 and I need a replacement for the rest of the year. Any takers? Minimum of 40 posts to join, and must be active on FTF to join.

Has everyone gotten their flies for Jan, Feb, and March?

After hunting and fishing most of my life, I've found it harder and harder to hunt, hurt or do much of anything that hurts to almost any animal anymore. Fishing is great fun, but Tony, I know how you feel. I've downed birds in the field and never found them, and that is a hard pill to swallow, knowing that the animal is out there suffering because I tried and failed to make a clean shot, or deep hooked them. I come home and look at my pets and know there is no way I could harm animal such as them, then wonder why I have no problem doing it to wild animals that struggle to survive. It's been a while since I went hunting, and I think it's because I just don't enjoy the thrill of it as much as I used to. Your event happens to us all at some point in time, it's what we do with the lesson that makes us human. Blane

I got some smooth looking nymphs in from Jolly Red in today's mail.
