I wasn't quite able to complete my flies as fast as I'd hoped and am heading out of town. I'll make sure to finish the batch and get 'em off by the first.

I'll either do Eric Leiser's spun-hair hopper or Gary Borger's hopper, I'm not sure just yet.
Thanks for the opportunity to swap!

Oh my. I am terribly sorry here! For some reason I had it in my head that these were due in early March. I got online today to email da meister that mine would be coming his way soon (presumably...
The flies are in the air!
Thanks for a great swap y'all, I hope you enjoy your handiwork. Mine is a #20 pheasant tail tied with rusty 10/0 Gudebrod on a 2x long nymph hook and is the only fly not...
Ok guys. I have a new filing system that I'd thought was fool-proof but I found it to be only as fallible as the user. So I found Schmang's flies in my crate downstairs with the other flies even...
I'm waiting on one more set. It seems that the USPS had a foul-up so there is another set on the way. Sorry for the hold-up!
We're just waiting on ontariosteelheader and schmang before these'll go out. Thanks for all your hard work and patience; I expect both sets before the middle of the week.
God bless and tight...

Badbug- I've emailed you several times and they keep bouncing back to me!
Thanks a ton for your fine work on those TEENY TINY nymphs... #24 if I recall correctly?? NICE!
Thanks as well for the...
Wow, this filled up quickly. The 13th person to sign up by my calculation was Creese.
I'll email out my mailing addy soon. We're looking at one dozen toe-tagged nymphs, #18 or smaller, postmarked...
7/13=6 spaces left!
I'll tie #20 pheasant tail nymphs.
Judging by the tiers we have signed up so far this is looking extremely promising!

*****MY CUP DOTH OVERFLOW, WE'RE CLOSED******
Would anyone be interested in tying up a batch of about a dozen teeny-tiny nymphs?
Lets say a max of 13 tyers including me (12 more) so we'd be...
I'll be tying my slighly modified version of a #16 Deer Hair Emerger (DHE) which was featured in one of the big mags early last summer. It produced well for me under some tough conditions. Here is my...
I'm in. Bill's sulphur dun is awesome.
I'm not sure what I'll tie yet; it'll most likely be a dry fly.
