Recieved the streamers yesterday. Good jobs by everyone . Will try them in Germany early October.

Might pm one or two of you for some details. Hope you don't mind....

Thanks,

Paul

mines are shipped today.

Paul

don't worry about the postage, i'll get that covered!

Now I have to make up my mind about my contribution to this swap.........

If you accept a swapper from the Netherlands, count me in.

you can also use a Daiichi1270 hook or something simular and bend it a little on 1/3 of the length of the hookshank. It is better to heat the hook before bending to avoid breaking the hook. Works OK...

Barry,

if you send me your home addy I'll ty you some dutch flies for fishing in stead of collecting ;-)

Paul

Last wednesday the postman brought me a package with some nice flies from all over the world. Thank you all for participating and your contribution.

Special thanks to John for orchestrating this...

Hello fellow swappers, my flies are ready and were shipped this morning.

Look forward to your flies.

Paul, the Netherlands

Does anyone know a webshop which sells dyed musk dubbing?

Thanks,

If that rod is with the new IPC in a 4 pc, that is what I use. I couldn't be happier.[/quote]


Anglerdave, the rod is about 3 years old. I take it that it is not with the new IPC? The new IPC...

Thanx,

I have a friend who has an Avid #6 9 ft. Will try that one and see how it performs. I am a bit of a StCroix fan, would not mind buying one.

Paul

OK guys, thanks for your response, here is some more information:

prize range: 300 to 350 bucks
size streamers: #10 to #4, mostly weighted (zonkers, buggers, stuff like that)
target: trout on...

I am thinking about buying a rod for streamer purposes only (freshwater). Any recommendations on weight, length and action?

Thanks a lot.

Paul

As my computer went to the holy fields, i could not response earlier. What a nice set of flies you guys made. Pike season is closed on this side of the pond (Holland) so i have to wait till July 1th...

Got my flies last week.

Great tying everyone!!

Thanks Hillard, for doing this swap.

Paul

Shipped!!

Paul

Mine are tied and will be send tomorrow.

Paul

Sorry Aftershaft, no pics on the web of these pikeflies. I can send you some but you have to wait a while as I am pretty occupied the next two weeks.

Still not decided what to tie.

Paul W

Hillard,

This is the swap i've been waiting for!

I am in.

Will let you know what I'll be tying.

Paul

Hillard,

I am in but you knew that. A sculping head for me.

Paul

It took them a while to get to Holland but yesterday, December 28th, the mailman delivered a package with some nice pike flies.

You all did a great job, it was worth waiting for.

Take care and...

will let you know when they arrive. must say that i am curious.

Hillard,

Keep the extras from me.

Thanks for doing this swap for us.
