fly tryer 0 Report post Posted August 10, 2012 Bob Mine are done, however I am not going to mail them for a week, I am going to Detroit next weekend so will mail them from there as it will still be quicker than mailing from Canada. I have made 2 sets, just in case there is a need for a spare, if not then feel free to keep them or give them to a youngster. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fishingbobnelson 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2012 Looking forward to seeing the flies that are ready to be mailed. Seeing everyone's flies is one of the best things about hosting. I will photograph all the boxes and post them on the site before they are sent to CFR. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockworm 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2012 Bob I just got back from vacation with my wife and kids and will start tying my flies for CFR tonight. I think I will tye mostly dry flies, as they give the novice fisher the greatest "rush" even when the fish isn't hooked. My wife has a business trip to Indianapolis next week and I will ask her to mail them. (Did I mention before that Canada Post sucks?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockworm 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 Oops! I didn't mean to disparage anyone on this site. Least of all one whose flies I have admired so much from the swaps I have participated in. And I have great respect for Canada's fine lettercarriers. My problem is with the postage rates and, to a lesser extent, delivery time. My sincere apologies, Horseshoes if you are a letter carrier. (BTW- I hitchhiked acropss Canada twice in the late 60s.) Ahemmm.... Bob I just got back from vacation with my wife and kids and will start tying my flies for CFR tonight.

Horseshoes 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2012 rockworm... nah.. you didn't upset me. It was an opportunity I couldn't pass up. I know our postal is up to other standards but it covers a huge land mass with little population to pay for it. So to expect it to perform beyond its' means is pushing it I guess. I understand it must be a bit frustrating trying to adjust to it. But hey!! it does releive stress to move at a slower pace. lol. You hiked all the way across twice? Once wasn't enough?
