Nope the last three packages are in the mail as of today. Looking forward to all of em!

Finished the silicone/glue work on mine a few min ago.

Well well well...my phone has been blowing up for the last 10 min and now I see why.

Delivery confirmations for the last 3 packages. Cannot wait to see these.

What else can I say but thanks to the tyers who participated. To say that I'm impressed would be a major, major understatement, so I'll let the flies speak for themselves...

Nice ties guys can't wait to fish them . With the BMG I didn't pack/trim the heads to crazy so you guys can play around with them until you get your desired action. I keep several in my box with all different head sizes depending on how deep I want to fish it the more hair on the head the higher it rides in the water column. The second fly is a surf candy tied with one of Bob Pops Fleye Foils and tan over clear iceabou. Its a new fly for me and I can't to fish it .

No worries Phil. I was able to attach them to the cardboard piece and they should fit right back into the same box you sent. I just grabbed some big envelopes from work, so that should work fine to hold everything.

Haha funny you mention...after a few for the mods, you still had some leftovers of each fly. I didn't actually count how many, but you've got some spares coming back your way.
