Thanks for joining, Lady.

We have one spot left for couple of Fall flies. I know it's hard to think of what September will bring if cool lemonade and a scorched lawn with an overheated mower are battling over the next fishing trip in the last part of July.

jcntheriver, yeah, all you need are the flies with toe-tags, maybe a couple of extras of each for the Swapmeister, the recipe, a sturdy box (Altoids tin!), and don't worry about the address, just PM Diane and that's it I think. Correct me if I am wrong anybody!

Dianne,

Please remove me from this swap. I have reciently had an "episode" with one of my eyes and it is far too difficult to tie flies right now.

My appologies to all.
