Butte Ugly Swap-Register here-Open Feb 16

[Flat Rock native 0]

It will be a few weeks, but I found my shoulder harness for my cameras, so I will try not to fish without it, and I promise you I will catch fish on that thing! They could be disoriented fish after staring at Beyon Ugly but they will eat it.

I'm not going to lie, that fly is fugly, I could see it catching fish though.

[breambuster 0]

Mine went out in today's mail. I threw in several bonus flies and the fly on the slip of paper that says "Thanks for hosting" goes to the 'meister. If anyone catches anything on mine, let me know. I haven't been able to go fishing in round 3 years now, so hearing that someone caught a fish on my fly would be the next best thing.

 

Take care

I am on the lookout, but mail is taking way too much time to get here

[breambuster 0]

I wondered if I should do a customs declaration at the post office before I mailed it. I wasn't sure that Wyoming is in the United States or not. Maybe it would get there quicker if we treated it like international mail.

Did you add some grain for the horses?

[breambuster 0]

Horses wouldn't live that long. I figured it would take mules at least if not donkeys to get it there. Too stubborn to die. I hope they let us know when the mule train pulls out of Independence, Missouri. That's when we have to start worrying about indian attack and running out of water in the middle of the desert.

FRN, when you get mine, please count them to make sure I sent enough. I was doing 3 sets of flies and found an extra toe tag last night after I got back from the post office.

 

Thanks

I gotta get my stuff taken care of the less favorable irs still.

Deadline extended. We be as friendly orbfriendlier than IRS, so just make sure your package is posted by April 18, 2017.

 

Service to Buffalo is SLOW... Breambusters arrived on Saturday, April 1....

 

Foambugs, there may be a problem... Check your address info, have not seen Foam'S creations--- Need a tracer on those.

 

Bad News... Woodenlegs had to drop out, but we are pulling for his family and him, seroius health matters ongoing, we can relate to that.

 

Joker One also could be MINA.... no checkins yet!

 

Everyone keep tying same numbers! Should be 15-16 each when all turnarounds are complete! Kenduardo's covering 4 x15 sets...

 

All is Good.... Carry On...

[Saltybum 0]

Yeah, April 18 is better than the 15th. I'm sure the already slow mail will be clogged with the real IRS stuff in two weeks.

But had to make a joke about the date.

 

So sorry to hear about Woodenlegs.
