Sad news tallflyguy's flies were lost in the mail, so we won't get to see his effort. He send me a copy of his shipping receipt so the good old postal service failed to come through.
Other than that great swap, everyone did a great job on their flies. I know it took way to long but it seems that just the way swaps go. I hope you all enjoy the flies and I will see you on the Skagit in April.
How about we wrap this one up? Any chance anyone else is going to submit? If not, lets split them up and get them sent out. I'm all for giving anyone time that needs it, but if they ain't coming, lets quit waiting :thumb:
Shit, sorry guys. I completely spaced this swap out. Marty, if you want to PM me with the addresses, I will send my flies to everyone personally - I can't get them in the mail any earlier than Monday. If that is a big inconvenience, then I can try PMing everyone for their addresses. Once again, sorry to hold up the swap!
I know everyone is waiting to get thier hands on the flies but we have waited this long, whats a little longer. If Jake cant get his in the mail on Monday I am sure it will be worth the wait. Jake get them done and in the mail. :beer2:
my flys are nothing crazy but they are hand died angora yarn and the color is a killer for greatlakes..just learning how to tie and just recieved an actual good vice a regal from my father today for xmas..
So I don't get what is going on! I sent the flies last Friday and they still haven't arrived!! I hope that it is only due to the holiday's backing up the PS somewhat. All ten were sent, so please let me know if you have recieved them. BTW I didn't include extra stamps for the return trip so I will send cash on Monday to cover this expense.
Received mine early this week--thanks Marty! You missed the couple of quarters I sent with the paper $ for postage, they were wedged in the corner of the envelope.
Great flies everyone!
