Can't wait to see pics

My soft hackle game is so weak. This set of flies is an amazing come-up to try some new tactics. Thank you all!!!

Kim, any guidance on your favorite uses for the multicolor gifts??

I can try to get some photos up of all of the patterns tied in this swap. They are definitely worth sharing and a nice way to document them here on the thread for future reference if you hang yours all in trees and want to tie up some more of them. If you don’t lose them to the trees or rocks, they are definitely going to get seriously chewed up by the fish!!

 

[WWKimba]

Received mine as well.
I will have to give some of these a try next time I go out. I’ll probably just keep them in my altoid tin. This is of course until I lose them all in trees.

I feel you my friend!

Got mine yesterday as well. This is a seriously great swap. Wets for days! Jeff thanks for the insert. Now I can't wait to get these wet or hung up in trees.

Also got mine yesterday. Thanks for the sweet insert jeffroey and everyone else for the great patterns.

And of course big thanks to Kim for hosting and sending 3 flies plus the paracord.

Just got mine. Beautiful ties everyone.

Thanks, Jeffroey for the Altoid box insert, I'm going to keep mine in the box so that they don't get lost in my fly box. That way I can fish them throughout the season and remember where I got them.

Kim, THANK YOU for hosting, I'm sure it's a lot of work on your end. Also, the extra flies and paracord. This was my first swap and I couldn't be happier.

I have the photos all ready to post onto the Pear Tree Swap thread. I’m kind of waiting to hear back from all the tyers in the swap that they have received their flies. I really would prefer to post the photos after everybody had a chance to unpack their flies individually. I don’t think we heard back from - laszlo, redietz, Jeff K or whheff at this point. Please correct me if I have that screwed up. The photos turned out pretty good and will serve as a great resource if needed. Thanks again, Kim!

Can’t wait to post up the pics!

If the sulphurs are moving around in the water column you’ll have a lot of fun with that fly.

 

[whheff]

Nothing in my mailbox today.
I can't wait to see all the flies you guys tied. Hopefully tomorrow,

 

[laszlo]

Received the flies today, super flies by everyone. Big thank you Kimba for hosting and all the extras and to Jeff for the insert. looking forward to the photo display

 

[JeffK]

I got my flies. Thanks everyone.

 

[dc410]

I’m going to post up the photos of the flies for the Pear Tree swap sometime this evening, mainly because I have time to do it tonight. It may be posted on several posts back to back, not sure how many photos I can attach to the same post. Hopefully redietz and whheff receive their flies. The flies across the board are awesome for this swap. Great job guys!

When Kim posts up his next swap you better be on it, because I’m thinking if you snooze you may lose. 😉
