Thanks @dc410 and @JLB !!

Halfway there everyone. If they all get here by Monday, then you should have them for opening day!!

I'd like to apologize to everyone; I got hit with a project at work this week and couldn't make it to the post office until today, but my flies are finally on the way.

I wound up doing something different and trying to tie a Walt's Worm along with the muskrat nymph. I felt bad since I had said I'd do a scud, so I tied those too. Thanks go to @nfrechet for the advice on using partridge feathers. They aren't great, but the muskrat nymphs look much better than they did.

Well I’m probably the latest. My cat had an emergency yesterday and I spent most of the day at the vet hospital, so I shipped mine express today for Monday delivery. Sorry Jim.

Tracking on the files I shipped on Friday states Expected Delivery by Monday, 3/31 and the package is at the USPS facility in your state as of now. I will PM you the tracking since it is cutting it close.

Next swap I will get them out sooner. I think this is the latest shipment I made in all the swaps.
