TheYiman 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2011 bertgwen and Dantfitz - both sets arrived this afternoon. Just waiting on Odaon - I PM'd him last week and he told me they would be in the mail with rapid delivery this week, so hopefully they show up soon. I know tomorrow is the deadline and I want to get these back to everyone ASAP. This swap looks great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odaon 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2011 EDIT: I just sent the Yiman a PM but wanted to apologize to the other people in this swap as well. I had a bunch on unexpected life/work stuff come up in the last couple of days and I wasn't able to get these flies finished up and sent off today like I wanted too. I really didn't ever want to have to drop out of a swap but I don't think I have a choice at this time. You guys were all on top of your stuff and I got far too busy in the past couple weeks to have any time to tie flies or even get out and fish. Sorry for delay the return of your flies and making you a set short. I'm sure you all can understand, life and work come before fun and sometimes it sucks.

TheYiman 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2011 Well, I guess that's it then. I was really hoping to have a complete set 5,5, and 2 but it looks like it is going to be 3,6, and 2. Each tyer will get 10 new flies and 2 of theirs back. All of these flies are really great. I can't wait to get out and fish them. I know they are going to catch Smallmouth!!! Awesome swap, everyone. I am going to put everyone's sets together tonight and they will go in the mail tomorrow. I will post some pics of the whole lot when I get a chance. Thanks for everyone's participation.

Dantfitz 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 Keep the extras, with what happened to me I wasn't able to tie the extra's I normally send along. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheYiman 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 They are all sealed and I am out the door to take the packages to the post office. Dan - thanks, you'll actually get the extra back because I already sealed them this morning, thanks though. These flies are AWESOME!!! The Smallies here in TN are on fire right now and I can't wait to get out throw these bugs at them. Two days ago the SM were nailing a streamer very similar to Easternfly's and SullyTM's. This was the first swap I hosted, a big THANK YOU to all that participated! And thanks for the bonus flies as well. Let me know when y'all get you packages and what you think of the swap. I know you are going to like everyone's creations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheYiman 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2011 I was thinking of posting a picture of the complete swap. What do y'all think? I put all this bugs in one box, next time I hit the stream for Smallies - I am only going to take this box along with me. I post the results. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
