Some of you guys were really inventive, The standard of this swap is really high, I couldn't reach it. Next time will be better, I hope. Thanks a lot all, and a special thank you to Gigmaster for hosting us.

I received my flies a couple days ago and I now have the grim task of adding another swap box to the list of casualties caused by the USPS this year. This makes 3 in this swap alone. 1 set of flies and the box MIA, 2 swap boxes FUBAR by the time they arrived here. thankfully the flies were intact and looked great.
