Update,
Swap box from round #1 is back on track heading to Jack Hise, then a short drive to my house and back on the road again for round #2.
Last chance to get in....maybe.....lol
I will put together the shipping order by this weekend and have it posted. Once I have the box I will notify everyone on the start ship date for round #2.
Thanks everyone for being patience :)

Lets hope this one goes a bit better. It's the height of vacation season and we should make every effort to keep the Swapmiester up to date on when we will be able to send the box to the next player. We certainly don't want someone worried that they screwed up at the post office again!!
I'll be the one actually starting the mailing but Popperfly is the Swapmiester so keep him informed ( he does not need to lose any more hair worring about the fate of the "Box"!).

PopperFly.....is there anyway I can get back in the swap?
My medical problem is straightened out now....and feel better.
Thanks

Swap box rules
1) Post WHEN you receive the swap box and WHEN you ship the swap box and Please make every effort Not to keep the swap box more than 2 days before forwarding to next person on swap box list.
2) Prior to adding materials to the swap box, look over the mailing list and see who will follow you. Then determine what kind of fishing they might do, such as Trout fish, Salmon fish, Bass fish, Salt Water fish or Popper fishing, included tying materials or whatever from your findings so everyone has something good to take from the swap box.
3) Take what interest you from the swap box and LIST all materials Taken and Replaced with by posting here on this thread and please make sure equal value applies.
4) Absolutely NO!! Un-treated skins allowed in swap box, must be commercially tanned skin. We don't need a problem like round #1 and with the weather getting warming in most parts of the country there is a high potential for bugs. Make sure all materials are sealed in zip-lock bags or whatever means you have to seal the bag to prevent any bug infestation please.
5) If you are going on Vacation, Business trip or whatever, please inform the swapmiester (popperfly) so I can make arrangements with the people before and after you on the list.
6) I will included a shipping list along with mailing labels, just find the next person name on the list, peel and stick shipping label over the old address label, add postage, drop in the mail. Please leave my address as the return address so if there is any problem it will come back to me and I can send it back on it way.
If you have questions with the swap box drop me a PM. Thanks to all swappers, let's have some fun.

Guys;
I have a skein of Adams Gray wool yarn that was used by JC to tye his Bead Head Adams. He brought it to the 2008 Michigan Fish in to share with us. I was one of the last to leave and cleaned off the swap table so it's been in a box under my tying bench ever since. I'll put it in the box for the second round but I want ya all to know the story behind it. It has a history so take some, if only for the memory of a great flyfisher and friend.

That is a great idea Jack. I still have some flies that Bassman tied in the last swap I particpated in with him and always think of him when I see them/use them. I will take a small amount and make some flies to keep the memory of JC going.
