@dc410
Your flies arrived.
Perfect as usual.

A few more to go and then I’ll turn them around to you all!

Thanks, Jim. I’m not sure that I ever tied a “perfect” fly. However, I do think they will serve as an effective terrestrial option. Looking forward to seeing and fishing everybody’s parachute patterns! Thanks for making the commitment to head up the swap.

I can’t wait to see all the different ties and learn from them. Thanks Jim for doing all the hard work on this.

@lprudente
Flies arrived. Very nice work.

A few more sets needed to finish his off.

Finally finished off my #20 klinkhammers on Partridge K4As, using extra fine poly dubbing and GSP thread. All of my many mistakes definitely helped up my tying game, but peacock herl - which looks great - is such a pita I may not touch it again too often. Will ship tomorrow along with a variety of colored poly parachute materials, as promised.

With 9 of the 10 sets of flies in, and the November 1 and 15 deadline past, I will package up everything and get it out to you all ASAP. I’ll put photos up too.

Thank you all for participating. If you have ideas for future swap themes please let me know and we can start another swap soon.

Thanks Jim. With one set short, will there still be enough to donate to Healing Waters? I think so based on my mental math.

I would like to participate again, and would be interested in a streamer swap!

Yes there will be enough for PHW.
I think you will also get one of your flies back too.

Streamers….excellent!

I don't expect any of my flies back, keep any extra for yourself or donate to PHW.
