I sent you a message. hope it makes sense what this swap is about. we should be able to work something out, in most instances , we try to be accomodating. you should like the format of this swap, quite a talented group of tyers.as I mentioned in the message, any fly will be fine, reach down in your favorite hiding places and swap along with the rest of us.

 

welcome aboard

Hopefully a warm up will come along soon..But with it being as cold as it is i have tied a ton of flies! Yes.. that brown was quite fugly! A friend told me that he was one of them 'special needs' brown!!

Lets make a welcome to the " mystery swap". We, at the fly tying forum may recognize him as "BEST FREAKIN RELATOR". bentflyrod will be sending flies very shortly.

Hope the weather eases up for those of you in the cold weather areas, sounds like its nasty.

 

have a good one

I have been doing a bit of both this year.. I honestly like bottom bouncing the best.. but working with the Pin a bit this year also.. It's so cold here right now that the fly line is a quarter inch diameter after a half hour of so...So have been using the Pin and Floats till it warms up a bit..

smalliefanatic has asked to sit out this round. rich and mel , would you please take his name off the mailing sequence? still getting interest with new tyers, sent David Legg a message,wasn't sure if some of the new players from the material swap would be interested. At present, we have three new tyers. Should be able to work something out.

WOW! You guys are GENEROUS! Got a huge box of flies in the mail!

 

Oh, I can only keep some... right!

 

It came to my office Saturday, but I wasn't in until today to open it. Hard to pick! Tried to get at least one from everybody. Couldn't find a BigDaddyHub in the box, but did keep at least one each from BDH, rich5665, Flyfisher13, cencalfly, SmallieFanatic, and a Gen Mosquito #24. Now to send these off to the secret lab to be analyzed!

 

Barring unforseen problems, the box will be off in the mail tomorrow to.... ha! I'm not supposed to tell!

 

Thanks, ya'll.... it's makes it even more special as tomorrow's my birthday!

Is this all closed up or any chance on getting in on the action? Looks way to good to pass up.

Fingers crossed,

Dave

Surprising that rich5665 hasn't posted about the "mystery swap box", he's usually quick to respond.

Hope all is okay. Mel's last post , said he would be mailing the "reverse box "out, this week.

We have ridleyffo as a new tyer, welcome aboard. I expect to be receiving flies from the new tyers very shortly. Will keep you posted.

Had a little wakeup call from mother nature about 4:a.m., this morning. A small earthquake does get ones attention, such is life in californee!!!

 

have a good one
