breambuster 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2014 I received flies today from Derek but no toe tags. I'm not sure if these are for this swap or the Swap Club flies that were due on Dec 31. Whoever sent the flies from Alabama needs to get in tough with me. Thanks BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

breambuster 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2014 We have received a VERY nice set of cap spiders from GLoy. To me, this fly looks like a cross between a Humbug and a Bully's Bluegill Spider. Both of those are very effective Bluegill patterns and so is the Cap Spider. Thanks, GLoy, for the great ties and also for the extras. Always VERY much appreciated. Take care BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

breambuster 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2014 We received a very nice set of Buggers from Joman today. He said they would be either "white or bright." Well, guys, he opted for bright. You are going to like these! (Joman, check your PM box.) Take care BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breambuster 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2014 We received an absolutely AWESOME delivery from Floyd today! You guys are going to be getting a lot more than you bargained for, let me tell you! But I'm going to be REAL mean and not tell you what you're getting except to say that you and the 'gills both are going to love this "glove bug!" Now, have I piqued your interest? Good! But you will just have to wait! Thanks, Floyd, for ALL the extras! Fantastic. Take care BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

breambuster 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2014 Big day, today! We received 2 sets of flies. One set from Vicrider is a Bully's Bluegill Spider, and these are REALLY nice. I'm looking forward to trying these. They aren't quite as "fat" as others I've seen and I think I like them better. The other set is from Batman and they are the "Humbug Variation" just like the ones in the picture he posted. In fact they may be the exact same ones in the picture. Anyway, they sure do look nice up & personal, and I'm looking forward to trying them also. Thanks guys! Take care BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
