That is truly beautiful...Do you do the engraving by hand?

How much time do you have into each of those rods???

Ned

I realize that I am a bit late on this, but last year I built from a Cabelas Kit and my only issue was that the epoxy came two sets of twin packets, so therefore you need to do all of your epoxy work...

Just wondering... I built a rod last year and used permagloss over the wraps. After looking at it throughout this year I am not very happy with the result (looks a bit lumpy). I am now getting ready...

Thanks Betty, will do.

I got to thinking last night, whats the hurry. No place to use a 4 wt until April anyway. Truth be known cork is my least favorite part of building and I just wanted to get...

Thanks for both of your advice...

BTW, should I consider reaming the cork before doing anything else, so as not to rebrake when reaming??

Ned

Help....While reaming out my cork grip it suddenly broke in half. It wasn't a clean break like two rounds of cork separating but rather a jagged thing. I haven't fooled with it since and wondering...

Mine came yesterday. Very good work by one and all. +1 for the swapmeister. Great Swap.

Ned

Fantastic work. That is beautiful. Congrats.

Great Swap Ben.

Pretty cool that everyone got them to you only 6 days after the "in the mail" deadline. From experience that is really good. Thanks everyone.

Ned

Mine went out tuesday morning and should be to you today or tomorrow.

Couldn't get on the board to let you know.

Glad to see the board back.

Ned

Sorry guys, I am going to be a bit late. They should be out tomorrow. :(

Ned

Thanks Guys,

Good to hear its not a lost cause.

Out to the garage tomorrow to fix.

Thanks,
Ned

Thanks Chris,
I will give it a try.
Any other advice would be appreciated.
Ned

Just wondering if anyone has any advise.

My wife shot a doe this fall and I was trying to dry the hide for tying. I thought I got most of the fat etc off, salted it and left it in a cold garage...

Do you want 10 so each swapper gets one of there own back or 9. For the swapmiester, 10 is much easier :D
Ned

I'm in. Never can have too many stimulators. I need to think about color. Probably yellow.
Ned

I got mine today as well, they are all really great. It is a great learning experience to see how everyone else ties theirs. Mike, thanks for a great swap! James Smith, I have to say that your...

Here are the pics....enjoy. Thanks.

Flies are in the mail. We only got flies from 10 swappers (one appology and one no show) Adam sent two sets so each swapper will get 11 different flies with doubles of two of the patterns.

I...

I got pheasanttails flies today which puts us at 10 recieved. Jack forgot and appologized. Lakeerieangle is nowhere to be found.

I am going to go ahead and send the flies out. Since we had 12...

Today is the due day and I am still waiting on 4 sets of flies. I will send everyone their flies as soon as I get them all. If you still haven't sent yours, please do so ASAP. PMs go out on Monday...

Quick question for the experienced swapmiesters. (I am sure the answer is somewhere in the archives, but I don't know where) How do I post pics of the flies for everyone to oogle at? Feel free to...

No problem, your signature line says it all. Half of the flies are received with two days to go. Keep them coming.

Ned

Adam,

Very unfortunate, but I bet you will never forget the pattern.

Look at the bright side, it wasn't your cat that cleaned them off the table!

Ned

If it ain't on 42 it ain't ment to be. Pass the opportunity on to Mikey.

Good luck with the swap. Next year I will be ready with a catalog! http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif
