Who is left to get flies from?

 

[beeber2]

There is no need to identify the remaining tyer. I do hope that there is a reasonable deadline and at that time the flies will be sent out. This is completely up to the swapmeister.

Hey guys, I completely forgot about this. I bowed out being that I'm holding this up. As a consolation, PM me your address and I'll mail you some meat box worthy hooks.

post some pictures when you guys have some time. I've been waiting to check these out. My streamer tying skills are lacking and I'm anxious to see what everyone else uses.

 

[drews]

Ffj no problem just wondering thanks

 

[flyfishermanj]

Finally got a break from the craziness!! Some will be mailed tomorrow and the rest will be in the mail by Saturday. Sorry for the delay, got my workload doubled @ work and made life crazy for awhile there.

JH

 

[flyfishermanj]

Well, I would have mailed some today if I brought the right box home!!

 

[Fredrick]

[flyfishermanj]

Well, I spoke too soon, the craziness came back full tilt and I missed to the post office and left the boxes on my desk. I got the break, but it is family vacation time, when I get back on wed. I will mail them out, no later then thur. Really sorry for the delay.

Crap, I really could have used these for my trip up to the Delaware this coming weekend.

Got the swap flies. These suckers are huge! Everyone did a killer job. The articulated ones look like they could've given birth to my little Slumpbusters. I think you guys are compensating for something ;-)
