International mail can be unpredictable. Sometimes 10 days, sometimes 3 weeks. I believe both sets of flies will arive in the near future.

A bit longer

" Fishermen, hunters, wood choppers, and others,
spending their lives in the fields and woods,
in a peculiar sense a part of Nature themselves,
are often in a more favorable mood for observing her,
in the intervals of their pursuits,
than philosophers or poets even,
who approach her with expectation."
Henry David Thoreau
Gigmaster's flies arrived today. Very cool !
One more set, one set more.

Ed have you got any news or an update by any chance?
Wrapping up this swap
This swap is getting a little bit ?long in the tooth?
Here is how I plan to wrap this swap up.
IF sjo?s flies do not arrive by March 2nd from the Netherlands, one month past the due date, I will sort and mail the flies to everyone who sent me flies. ALSO, I will sort and hold a set for sjo. In effect I will be holding sjo?s flies in ?escrow?
When sjo?s flies land in my mailbox, I will send him a set and individually mail one of his flies to each of the swap members.
I have communicated by pm with sjo and he approves of this plan.
If any swap member has questions or comments about the wrap-up of this swap please send me a pm or post here.
Your humble swapmesiter.

Sounds like a plan. I don't mind waiting extra when flies are in the mail, and I agree that 1 month past the deadline is a good cut off.
I'm sure sjo is Ok with this and hopefully the flies will show up soon.....he does tie some really nice flies.
Flies have flown
I sent five sets of flies out today. I am holding flies for sjo and will will mail his contribution to each swap member when they arrive.
