Wow!  I got some flies in from NorCalBob, Gottatieafly and ibrb and I'm just blown away.  They're all jus awesome!  I'm just going to have to test some of these in the next day or two.  If you recieve damp flies in your box, I apologize. Roll Eyes  I'll post some pics as some more come in.  Thanks for playing.

Got flies in from Shane (fishinXJ) and Charlie (Bluefish).  Awesome fly patterns.  I'm telling you guys, I'm just going to have to test run some of these flies next week.  Sorry if you get wet flies in your swap.

Wade, I'm currently on a vacation of sorts, visiting my in-laws with my daughter.  We'll be down here until 6 July.  So, I wouldn't be able to mail anybody's flies out to them until that following week.  When you get them done, send them, even if it's after 1 July.

Well, we're almost ready to send these out, just waiting on one more tyer than that will be it.  I can't believe the variety of flies I recieved from all the tyers.  Just really, really nice.  Soon as this blasted heat wave leaves the valley, I'd like to give these guy another go from my boat.

Charlie, Otay had NO structure, as far as I'm concerned.  All we fished by we walls of reeds in 6-10 feet of water, so clear you could see the bluegills fighting to grab the fly I presented to them.  Got old, real quick.

I'm waiting on one tyer who requested by addy 3 days ago.  So...I should have those flies in by today or tomorrow?  The flies have been separated in the return boxes, now, so when that last one comes in...

All the flies have left the building, er, taken to the post office and mailed.  BTW, 1/2 of you guys sent me insufficient postage to cover your packages, so I had to cover the excess costs. Angry  But, I forgot who all of those people were, so doesn't make a difference anyways, does it? Wink Smiley

I just recieved a very nice set of flies, which I'll be testing out after work tonight. Sorry I didn't toe tag the Foam backed Craws I sent out.
Seems I owe Troutinator $.37. Apparently the flies you guys tied were slightly heavier than mine. Maybe we can go fish together and I can get lunch. This Sat. is mostly open. (I have to get ready for a Salty trip Sunday eventually.)
