JustinDavis 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2009 The only Valentine I want is some nice RED flies. Here it is. A Valentines Day Swap. This is going to have to be a fast one. A little under a month to get them to me. 13 Tiers including me, so first 12 with "I'm in" (You tie 12 flies-- you don't get one of your own back.) The fly must contain a major component that is RED Dry fly, wet fly.... what ever you want. The flies must be to me by Valentine's Day (Feb 14) and I will ship them two days later. Caution!! Caution!! I live in Canada. So be sure you can get them tied and sent to me before the 14th. All are welcome. All swap rules apply. Remember: the toe tags, return postage, the deadline, and have some fun 1.JustinDavis --> Red PT Klinkhammer 2.2bonthewater --> TBD 3.flies & photos --> TBD 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. Come one, come all. All I see is the color RED Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't remember what the time was for the air. I believe the regular ground mail, was like 7-10 days for the Czech swap I did. I'm pretty sure you could count on it getting here if you had it off on the 3rd or 4th. I think US postal is a little better than Canada Post. So thats maybe a week and a half to tie? As for postage, if it needs another dollar or two from me, that's fine, I just don't want to pay the whole postage for everyone (obviously). Either way, if time is as issue, we could probably be a little lenient with the deadline. If it would make it easier for people to join. I should of thought of the swap sooner. Anyways, if your up for it. We'd love to have you. Justin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roll Q___Cast 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2009 Hey Justin I think the Valentine's Swap is a great idea but time is growing short and thought maybe you would be up to shelving it for next year and perhaps entertaining a St. Patty's Swap with a little green and some luck of the irish find it easier to fill the swap; due to the extended deadline into March.... Just a suggestion! Thanks Jerome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinDavis 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 Well, Due to the lack of time / lack of interest I am going to take Jerome's advice and shelve this swap until perhaps next year. I am not going to give up though, and I am going to again take Jerome's idea and throw out a St. Patty's day swap. So look out for it. Thanks for the interest 2bonthewater, and flies & photos, sorry for the flop. This swap is Cancelled. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
