Dan, glad your GREENS OK. Did everyone else get theirs? With the weather challenges between me and the rest of you in the central and western states I was concerned.
Also, surgery went well so I am almost back to my normal self - THANKS to all of you for your patience, understanding and prayers.
My blues are not gonna make it in time due to material problem. I'll let you know when they go out!

No problem sjo - Thanks for the heads-up.
Blue hackles are in backorder, I'll do another pattern, I was thinking Teal Blue and Silver, but I can't get the blue hackles.

Anyone else being knocked off when posting??
I'll try again, FIRST - IBRB, I received your Violet Bonker Zonkers. Great looking flies!! Thank you so much for all your fantastic additions to this swap.
SECOND - The due date for the BLUE ties was June 21st. So far I have not recieved flies from everyone. I will be sending out a PM to those tyers that I have not recieved the BLUES from.
THIRD - The last flies (VIOLET/PURPLE) are due by July 26th. Please try to get your flies to me by that date. Thanks to all for participating in this swap and I hope you all had a great 4th!
Modocdan, got both your BLUE spiders as well as your VIOLET spiders in the mail over the week-end. As always some fine ties. Thanks for helping out this swap!
sjo, I got your BLUE soft hackle and VIOLET soft hackles in the mail. As always they look fantastic.
I am still waiting to hear from Flygal. If I do not get a reply by the end of this w/e I will be posting the pictures of the fly I have received and mailing out your BLUE and VIOLET/PURPLE flies and closing this swap.
Thanks for all your efforts during this, my first, multi-month swap.
