No flies in the mail today and no PMs.

 

I'll sort out all the flies and they will go out in the mail tomorrow. I'll send everyone one of theirs back to account for the missing swapper.

Flies came in today. Very nice examples of some excellent tallent among all the participants. In reply to Desert Trout, the Hypnofish recipe is in the Database and I can not take any credit for it although it is a very productive fly for many species and very effective for Steelhead. If you are part of the Great Lakes SteelHead Swap you will get another of my favorites that I have created for Steelhead that has made many trips very successful. Thank you BigE for a very good Swap, this was my first and I hope all go as well as this one. Nice flies everyone, I will definitely enjoy them.

Big E, I got mine Saturday 8-23. This was my first swap (I’ve sent flies for my 2nd) and I must say that I’m very impressed with all the ties. You can tell everyone put some serious time into this swap. If this is what I can expect from every swap I plan to be a part of many more once work settles down and I get some free time to spend on the bench.

Great work everyone! I hope to swap with ya’ll again soon.

Got mine today. Mr'. Steelhead, that white crystal chenille is going to hammer the coho next couple of weeks when I lay it on their table.
