Tied and Tagged! In tomorrows mail!
SJO and Rick Flies in the mail Tyesday ! PADDY
It seems like I am pretty happy with my flies UNTIL I put the toe tags on. Then they look like a wadded up mess. I hate toe tags. Just venting, I know it's the best way to identify them.
I did a Wallywing Dark Cahill. After trying for three years, I'm finally getting the courage to tie wings on my dry flies.

Good idea Steven, I'll try to do it likewise.
I will be tying a Dark Cahill Nymph..
Sjo
That's what I do too Steven. I just dislike the presentation. I was just being cranky anyhow.
Flies are in the mail as of today
How Is everyone coming with their flies?
Rick
Tied and in the mail Monday. Not my favorite pattern and not sure I know how to tie it properly even now. Fish 'em everybody and be glad fish don't have hands...
Hoping to finish up and have them mailed by noon Wed. Luke
We have holidays, liberation day etc
My flies are finally in the mail. Sorry for the hold up.
Flies are done and ready to ship out.
Sorry for the delay, family matters came up.

Swapmeister, still nothing received from me? They were shipped out 5-13.
NO flies from Sjo, Mosca, JBW177, Shortbus, Luke Mcleod.
Mail has been very slow coming to me.
Rick
Will have a box in the mail Saturday A.M. I cannot claim shipping issues. I had trouble tying the pattern I wanted and let discouragement and a busy schedule rule my month. No more! I have plenty of time today to tie the last 6 while I am smoking 30lb of brisket. I am a little sad to report that I gave up and am just tying a standard dry. A 7 yr old girl brought me out of my tying funk when she asked me to show her how I tie flies. My spirit was lightened and I have a newfound pleasure in tying.
Shipped priority. ETA Tuesday. Now May.
I see that Mosca has not been in the swap for a while. Is Jwb still in?
IF not I will get them out in a few days.
Rick
IM still in I should be finishing them up tonight or tomorrow night
Flies will go In the mail a little later today.
Rick
Wow! We pegged this one, some very nice Cahill's arrived in the mail yesterday. Very good work everyone! Here trout, here trout...
Got I nice swarm in the other day, great job everyone!
Did everyone get their flies?
Rick
Yes Rick, I got mine, they are really a great set off flies. Mine were tied rather poorly in retrospect. Sorry that I didn't mention that I got the April bunch. A special thank you sir for hosting this swap for me!!
