BigDaddyHub 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2010 Yea, I know Matt, I just wish I had maybe gone with something a little more ornate, that's all. Loved the stacking on your fly, Pat! going into my collection as well.....but now for Matt's and Floyd's...will be chucking those bad boys in the drink the firts chance I get! Have turned several grass carp in a few of Floyd's other flies as well as some nice stocker trout on his foam stone....Floyd has some serious tying skills. Saving Pelhament's for the display case as well. And the po'hopper...that's already on the 4 wt ready to go for the gills. I have to admit, this is one of the best swaps I have ever participated in...makes me eager to get going on my Bluegill swap flies! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fred H. 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2010 I recieved my batch of swap flies today. Great job everyone. Deeky yours will get wet today . I think it will be an excellent redfish fly , which is what I'll be chasing after work. Alot of others would make good crooss over flies but this one has a stainless hook. Thanks everyone for allowing me to participate . Matt thanks for hosting, Fred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breambuster 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2010 bream your flies come back to me I need to add postage Matt, I apolgize for not supplying enough postage. I had the lady at the PO weigh it & tell me how much the postage would be. But I guess we under-estimated! Please let me know how much extra you had to pay and I'll settle up with you. Did you have to pay ALL the postage since it came back, or just the difference between what I had paid and what it actually cost? Thanks BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Floyd 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2010 Sorry Matt about the postage thing. I guess that my flies were lighter than the ones that came back to me. The three weighted flies and the plastic box added another ounce or so. Tell me how much you had to pay and I'll send it to you. I was wondering what was happening about the time it took to get here. Turtle Express I was thinking. Anyway the flies in this swap were great. Great bunch of talent here. Thanks everyone. :thumbup: :thumbsup: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
