My flies (such as they are) are in the mail. I even filled out a mailing lable since the PO provides them free for Priority Mail.
As a note, I found out the Post Office a sells $3.85 stamp (one stamp, not lots of little ones). It makes it easy to send the required return postage, for Priority Mail.
Now the wait begins.

Hey guys, I put my flies in the mail about 5 days ago, then left on a trip. I just got back and guess what was sitting in my mailbox, saying "return to sender"?
Antron, you guys can go ahead with the swap without me if you want. If not, the flies will be in the mail tomorrow. just let me know. Again, sorry guys.

Ok
I am sending all of the flies out Monday, even if sculpin's flies are still left. Sculpinflytier send me an email with your snail mail and I will
make sure that you get your set. Everyone I have talked to is in agreement with this. You will not be left out due to things outside of your or my control. Thanks to all of the patience with this swap, hope everyone enjoys their flies. I will post a pic after all of the flies are in your hands

Let me be the first to say....great job everyone!
The flys arrived today and I enjoyed checking each one of them out. I gotta admit that I was without any frog patterns in my boxes....I got that covered now for sure! Thanks for hosting this swap Toby....it was alot of fun.....Jason
-
My flies came today. Awesome!! They are all great. Thanks to all.
BTW, Dan G I have a place in mind for your terrific Diving Frog. There is a downed tree at the end of a small bay on Kentucky Lake. I know there is a brute that lives under the tip of the branches that hides and waits for critters about that size to fall in or swim by. I think I will have a surprize for him.

I feel closer to HIM when I'm fishing.

The first fly in the water was the the Charlie Boy Hopper. Both the Bluegills and Bass found it unresistable. Thanks Dave.

Came home from a weekend trip to find a very nice assortment of foam flies waiting for me. I'm hoping to be able to try them out before the weather gets too nasty around here. Nice work everyone.
Bluegill Budd - glad to hear the hoppers are working out.
