Re: Winged wet fly swap.....SHIPPED MAY 4th
THIS SWAP WAS OFFICIALLY MAILED MAY 4th,
I am sorry for the delay but this is a hobby and work has been very hectic over the last while. THe small company I worked for got bought out by a large player in the busseness. I did not see this effecting my swaps as it did, as they have me on the road alot. I am only home 4 days out of the next month.
If I had seen this happening with my work I would not have tryed to host a swap, and certainly not 4 swaps staggered 6 weeks appart.
For those of you who have a bitter taste in your mouths over this swap, I am sorry. This is all supposed to be fun and not frustrating. I feel I did the best I could under difficult circumstances, and have had fun and frustrating times with this swap. Continue joining swaps, swaps are great not all turn into chaos like this one. I have been in almost 30 swaps since fall, and yes sometimes some are delayed for whatever reason, but most have been ontime.
I myself will continue to join swaps, probably will host again, but will be making changes in how I run things. All for the better, and the biggest will be I will no longer wait for any late flys, I set due dates to make things run smoothly, and then made the mistake of trying to accomidate late arrivals when my own schedual would not easily allow me to due so.
--Tight lines; Hillard
I will update who has recieved flys as best I can but am only home May 18-21 and am working the rest of the month into June without internet access. Hopefully everyone recieves thier flys without postal delays.

No problem with me Hillard. I knew they would get out sometime, and if they didn't they didn't. I had fun tying them any way.
Re: Winged wet fly swap.....SHIPPED MAY 4th
First I was sad I missed this swap (ANYTHING AndyB ties ROCKS!). Then I was glad I didn't....
Re: Winged wet fly swap.....SHIPPED MAY 4th
:D You know what I guess there hasnt been anyone elese that has had unplanned circumstances that have interupted their plans, if they are upset that this swap got delayed. Well I for one am not bothered by it, and I hope your new parteners are good people and treat you well I had fun tying the flies and will be glad to see all that everyone elese tied, but I wasnt going to have a fit over it. I for one have had plenty of my planned events get tossed aside because of life altering events, and a job would be one of those, since without a job these days you are out in the cold. Thanks for miestering the swap and good luck with your new job.
Re: Winged wet fly swap.....SHIPPED MAY 4th

Re: Winged wet fly swap.....SHIPPED MAY 4th

wow.
I got my flies.
nice work y'all.
where's andy b's?
I should add that the reason I'm done swapping here goes beyond the delay here. there's more to it than that.
no need to go into detail about it. it's been a blast.
Re: Winged wet fly swap.....SHIPPED MAY 4th
ANdys flies never arrived lost in the mail I guess.
Still waiting to hear that 4 swapers recieved thier flies and this one is officially complete.
