The monsters landed in my inbox today. I have to admit I am ashamed of my meager offering. Fantastic flies everyone :!:
Thanks for hosting Yonks.
I received my set of little buggers today. Nice ties everyone. Thanks for hosting Kahuna!
Way to go everyone! A swap that ends two weeks early is pretty rare. I can't wait to get the flies.
Cal, I just started a list of people that are going to send me $100. You are on the list. Thanks.
Looks like we are going to finish this one up early. Great job everyone!
That might could work for a number of my flies :roll:
Glad this one filled up.
Who is going to take"U"? Anybody have any ideas for a fly that begins with "U"?
My flies are in the mail today, please let me know when they arrive. This is a cool swap! Thanks for hosting.
Good (and timely) post john. I'll be hosting a swap soon. I need to wait until a few of the swaps I'm currently in to finish though.
Bassman, we've got to get together on these swaps that we are both in and save on some postage. Heck for that matter just get together and tie a few flies.
Take a look at the Peak vise as well. I love mine.
Another Knoxville Fly Tier. Welcome to the madness. Have you taken any classes? Little River Outfitters and The Creel both offer beginner classes.
I am pretty new at tying flies. I'll get in on this one if ya'll don't mind me tying a simple pattern.

Kahuna-
My Christmas Buggers are on the way to you at the impressive speed of the USPS. Please let me know when they arrive.
Thank you Martin. I am looking forward to getting these flies too.
OK, I give up. How do you post a picture or even a link that works on this site?
Flys will be in the mail today. Here are a couple of pictures.

That fly looks good Martin.
I got mine tied up on Christmas Eve. Appropriately enought they are Christmas Buggers. They are definitely not your typical bugger. It is a pattern that I learned...
I really like to use squirrel hair for dubbing. Although, as the others have pointed out, it needs to be from the body.
I am having a hard time finding olive died squirrel skins. Does anyone...
Mine are in the mail. Please let me know when you get them. Thanks.
The due date is jan. 30th. I got mine done early becasue I had a rare free night to work on them and I have a couple of other swaps due at about the same time.
My flies are done. I'll be dropping them in the mail tomorrow.
I'll get in on this one too. I just learned a new bugger variation that I really like. 8)
I'm new to this so I will have a few stupid questions. What kind of box are you all sending your flies in? :oops:
