billy 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2007 Hello, Bill... Send an addy - I will mail them to you no later than Tuesday - Monday if I can find a Altoids box to put them in. Try to post a picture later. Thanks for the host. I am learning a lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billb 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 The first batch of this swap's flies arrived today! flyrod98's blue/white Deep Minnows are very nicely tied, as you can see in the photo he posted a few days ago. He sent a couple extra flies: a pretty Thunder Creek Rainbow Trout for Addie and a Murdich Minnow that I'm looking to take out to the closest pike lake. Thanks, Bill! billy: You're welcome. Glad to hear that you're learning through this swap -- that's half the fun of doing these things. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyrod98 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 Bill, Glad to hear my flies got there. I hope to find another nice set of clousers waiting for me, when my wife and I get back from our 3 week road trip. Your fly looks good, but for some reason it doesn't enlarge when I click on it. :dunno: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billy 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 Hello Bill... USPS has my set of flys. I forgot to take a picture, so I tied another to represent what you have on the way. The flys are from my old high school where I still volunteer as a public address announcer and coach girl's soccer. Hey, we won the GA State Championship in football this past winter. I have a ring to show off for it. Picture of the fly: Picture of the ring: Sent two extras - one for you and one for Addie... something I just tried with some artificial hair.

Your fly looks good, but for some reason it doesn't enlarge when I click on it. :dunno: Bill: I haven't been able to figure out why my photo thumbnails won't enlarge. I wonder if it's because, in my attempt to keep them from eating up to much storage space and download time (I'm creating the JPEGs at the smallest setting available --160 x 120 pixels), I've made them too small. Have sized this JPEG larger (I think) -- let's see if it works! Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billb 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 billy: Thanks for the photos (and for tying the extra fly so folks can see what you've sent), as well as for the extra flies you've sent for Addie and me! Will confirm receipt when your package gets here. fellow swappers: The 2nd image of my fly does enlarge -- is the enlarged view big enough, or should I make future image files larger? I'm new to posting images and am trying to avoid unnecessarily long download times, but it would defeat the purpose of posting in the first place if folks can't get a good enough look at flies. Please let me know what you think. Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like to post mine at around 600 or 700 pixels wide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pelhament 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2007 Hey bill, so I don't double up on your green and gold and I'm gonna go with one of the other sets of colors from the Ducks 5,000 different uniform combinations and go with black and green. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pelhament: Green and black would be great. I wouldn't have had a problem with another set of green and yellow/gold flies, but the variety will be nice! Thanks for your flexibility.
