I'm starting to get worried about my flies. If they are not there by Friday, I will tie up another set and send them out.

No need. I just did a double check, and your package was in my mail folder. Flies received from sirrom.

ol' blue,
Thank you, kind sir. Now I can sleep tonight.

Received flies from Ron Eagle Elk.

I mailed my flies today. You should receive them in about 2 weeks. Thanks for the swap.

Hey, cane_ru,

Just out of curiousity, did you ever receive your flies from the last swap? How long does it take for mail to get over there?

[cane_ru]

ol'blue, I did receive the flies from Geography swap, I wrote it there when I did. You sent them on the 3 rd of march, they were at my post office on 13 th, that's 10 days. They never come in faster than that, it usually takes them 10 days to 3 weeks to arrive from the states (and to the states) depending on how busy it gets.

Cane_ru from Lithuania is the winner for the longest distance fly with a very nice plastic bead Caddis.

The quality of all these flies is excellent. Now I am going to have to find a way to display them on the wall . I was thinking of getting a big map of North America and sticking each fly in the appropriate spot with an insert showing Lithuania.

Hello Gnu Bee Flyer, thanks for your good words.
Don't bother buying the map of Lithuania, it's not worth it. I'm russian myself I was born in Soviet Union (lithuania), so I wouldn't mind it if you put that fly on the russian territory, Kamchatka or Shantar Islands for example, these places should be seen on the map of USA. That should solve your map problems and my fly will be closer to the places where I'd like to go fishing Good luck!

They made it pretty quick! Glad to hear it, but I do recall reading something about them arriving now that you mention it.
