    yipes!!

    bbrother1, please don't send it on too fast! i'm still out of town. my stuff is waiting at home on the desk for when the box arrives, but i really can't ask my daughter to sit on the phone and sort through the box "with" me.

    i'm really sorry, and will send the box out on Wednesday if it's there when i get back on Tues.

    Casey,

    Don't worry about it. Even if he mails it today and it gets to you Saturday, that is still only 3 days before you get home. I'm not concerned about it, especially since you coordinated this with me before hand.
    It is all good, so don't ruin your trip worrying about what will be at the worst only a day or 2 delay. Thanks for the update and reminder, though!

    Wow, this is moving fast and it looks like there are MANY goodies.

    I wanted to let you know that I will be out of town all next week visiting family not returning until Monday the 13th. I don't think it would get to me next week but wanted to let everyone know just in case.

    lol... way to go Bill. Now that's what I call a *swap*.

    This is my first one and I see why everyone gets such a kick out of it.

    It's fun just watching the tally.

    Default flies

    Those pike flies are really awesome. Large but light. Bet they will catch a smallie or two as well. Can't wait to fish them.

    I have already used a swap item with success. I tied some white conehead streamers on the sz 6 swap hooks and caught a nice brownie.

    Cheers!
