USPS Tracking shows all flies delivered in the US. Allan is the only one responding. Any problems?

June swap flies mailed today. Good job everyone. Thanks for participating.

Bob
:D

Received flies from jwb1977 today. That's all of them. Mail out Monday.

Bob
:D

Rick Z,

Sent you a PM.

Bob
:D

Got some good looking flies today from Rex!

Bob
:D

Everyone has sent flies or has them in the mail, except jwb1977. I'll PM him.

Bob
:D

Sjo,

You are sending your June tubes to Bill and they will be mailed with the July beetles by Bill?

Bob
:?:

sjo,

USPS is running late these days. I'd hold off sending a few days.

Bob
:D

June flies arrived today from Icemanxxxv. Sunfish getters for sure!
I now have received 6 of 9 - need flies from jwb1977, sjo, & RexW.

Bob
:D

Received June flies today from gmac209. Nice!

Bob

We are down to (9) tiers for June. Gigmaster had to drop out.

Bob
:D

Mine are tied. That's (4) out of (10) tiers ready.
Here's my recipe.

Squirmy San Juan Ball of Worms

1. Hook: Standard Wet - Size 8
2. Thread: Red
3. Bead: Gold Brass Ball Bead - 4 MM
4....

Got some nice "Puffer Ball Frogs" from Allan today.

Bob
:D

Allan,

Try the "San Ron Worm" pattern by Ron Gaddy. It's on YouTube. About as simple as it gets.

Bob
:D

Hasn't been a problem for me, but I don't wrap the hook shank with them. I guess my pattern is a lot simpler.

Bob
:D

Thanks, Sjo.

Bob
:D

Thanks, guys. Just trying to get a status report.

Bob

June has only (2) weeks remaining. I have (3) tiers without a pattern and received only (2) sets of flies. The original swap deadline is the 25TH. It doesn't look likely this month, either.

Bob...

Might try super glue. When tying a rubber band grub, I put a drop on the thread base before tying in the rubber band.
Then I put a drop on top of the tied in thread before wrapping the rubber...

June flies arrived today from Bill Houk. Some real gill getters.

Bob
:D

We now have 7 of 10 swap members with chosen patterns for June. I hope the other 3 are still with us!

Bob
:D

I'll watch for them, Bill.

Gigmaster, jwb1977, sjo, & RexW - Have any of you fellows decided on a pattern yet?

Bob
:D

Check your PMs, Bill. I sent my address over a week ago.

Bob
:D

Did you decide which pattern you liked the best, Bill?

Bob
:D

Back to 10 tiers for June.
