vicrider 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2015 My flies came in today and very nice they are. Since my chances of fishing steelhead again are minimal I hope no one minds if a couple of those are stuck in the mouth of a ring nosed steelhead (carp). Couple look like they'd be very attractive to a carp, some have bass written all over them, and the rest can go in my dream of another crack at steelhead box.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2015 Ah man that's a first class bummer. Thieves have been cut way down in our PO the last few years with different handling and screening techniques. My chances of fishing these flies is minimal for what they were tied and tho I've stored them I should be able to sort out most of them from the different boxes they went in and if you really fish these flies I'd be willing to send you what I can sort out of them. I'd include a few flies from earlier swaps for steels that I have also. Let me know and I'll do what I can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joseph russell 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2015 I will make another and send it .plus extras Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
artimus001 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2015 unfortunate i think some a-hat opened the envelope (sticky seal), removed the tin and sent the empty envelope. i almost would have been happier if the whole mess got lost in the mail. Â extras and such are nice but,,,,,, it is the flies that you all tied for this swap is what i was hoping for, toe tags and all. that being said, there is no real way that this can be fixed. my swap flies go into my collection, and don't see the water. i appreciate any thought that others have had to fixing this, and it just isn't going to happen as the full set of swap flies would be impossible to do. Â what would make me happy, would be if someone could put a photo set together so that i can see what everyone tied. i really enjoy seeing the skills and talent that other tiers have Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psychoprince 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2015 Art im sorry to here that your flies got tampered with. They were in a sealed package. Luckily I set all the extra flies aside due to someone dropping out and I would be more than happy to send them to you. Please send me your address and I will get them out as soon as I can.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2015 Dang pyscho, that would be great for you to do. We all called for you to keep the extra set but who knew you'd be given a chance to do this. Great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
