I got the flies today. Great ties everybody.

BTW, I used the "Take two, they're small" approach to my ice flies. Color variations are endless. Brassies and Copper Johns are used as ice flies...

Just got back from the holiday from heck. Supposed to be back before Christmas. Only a week late, as my plans were changed for me right after we left. Flies are tied and will be mailed when the...

I would be interested in doing it again. I got into 2009's swap about halfway through. It has been a great experience.

Sjo, are you missing flies? The empty box was the one you sent your flies in. I just sent it back to you, but I put all of the flies in the tin.

Let me know if you are missing any.

Thanks, ...

Everything was sent by Wednesday for the last three packages. (Now I have to get caught up with Nov and Dec. )

Hope everybody enjoys their flies.

BTW, I tied a second fly since we were...

I will send them as soon as I get an address. All ready to go, and I just realized I don't know where to send them.

Thanks,
Dave

Most of them are sent today. I had one tyer who sent postage, but no envelope, and two that need customs forms. I will take the forms in and mail the internationals tomorrow. I will also grab a...

Update...
The guy at work on the next shift didn't show Friday. I can't leave until a replacement is present, so I had to do another double. I got home late last night. I need the desk at the...

I just called home and there is a package with a customs slip attached to it, so I am assuming that these are your flies. I will package and sort them tonight. I will be working twelve hour shifts...

Okay, I've heard from everybody. The flies are all on their way to me. As soon as I get the last sets, I will sort them out and send them back to all of you.

Thanks for making this a fun swap,...

Two left to go, and I will PM them this weekend to make sure they are still in. I will be working two and three day stretches of double shifts with a couple days off in between for the next three...

I have just updated. I have five received, and I have just sent everybody my address.

We have had one member drop out. I can either send everybody one oftheir own flies back, or somebody can tie...

I have gotten the flies from Gigmaster, IBRB, NYFisherman and Ben. THey all look great. I am sending out the rest of the addresses tonight.

The yellow sallys and a few others have shown up. I will update the list when I settle in tonight. I just worked a week with 5 16 hour shifts and a couple of 12s tossed in. I will get everything...

Yellow Sally will work just fine. So will either the Diawl Bach or the Red and Black Nymph.

Looks like lots of cool stuff being done for this one. I'll get the patterns posted sometime tonight. ...

The theme for the October swap is Attractor Patterns. We all know of a fly that doesn't look like any specific food item, but draws fish like a flashing blue light at a K-Mart. Classic patterns,...

Let's go for "Attractor Patterns"... Anything that doesn't try too hard to imitate a natural food item. Mickey Finns, Royal Coachman, Parmachene Belles, or any other non-realistic fly will fit....

Claret softies coming your way. (I hope there isn't a complexity rule for this swap. It's only a three ingredient fly, and one of the ingredients is thread!)

Pattern
Body; Darker red or claret...

I am searching this board for the earlier months to see what themes got used up before I joined. I will pick the theme tonight before I go to bed.

Dave

Thanks John,

They went out priority today.

Size 8 crayfish pattern lifted off of a local guy who sort of changed a Clouser crayfish to suit local waters.

I am all ready to mail them, but I don't have the addy. If somebody from the swap sees this, could they please PM me the address. I will overnight express them. If I get them out today, they...

Hello, I am ready to ship but I need your address. I just got back home from another unexpected adventure and I need to ship them. (Doctors sure know how to mess up well laid plans) I will...

I got the flies today. Great stuff everybody!

Thanks,
Dave Manley

Does furry foam count as foam? I will probably try a crawfish pattern.

Dave

I don't know much about foam either. I guess that I will be tying a floater of some type for this swap. My local shop has furry foam, or something like that. I am going by there tonight, so I will...
