rich5665 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2010 since this is my first swap I need to ask, how many flies? and do I need to select one from the pattern database or can I tie anything? Tie eight flies. Pick any pattern you would like to tie and tie eight flies of that pattern. My only rule for the swap is it has to be on a size 14 or smaller hook. The fly can be a dry, nymph or streamer. I sometimes pick a pattern from the database, a fly fishing magazine or anyone of the online fly shops. Or if you have your own pattern that you like to tie, you can do that as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheri 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 Dropped in the box this morning Rich. Now if Arkansas PO acts as normal you might see them in a week to a month. Let me know when they hit NJ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rich5665 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 The last set of flies I received from Arkansas only took two days to arrive. For some reason the PO is far more efficient in the South. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rich5665 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 I will be sending mine today. How much do I need to add for return postage? Easiest way is to put a Stamped Self Addressed envelope inside your envelope. I usually put a $1.45 to $1.75 on the return envelope. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
