The Quaker Swap

[FlyingCarp]

Received the flies last night. Excellant work by everyone, very nice. I figured that I would try Diane's yummy-looking streamer for landlocks this morning on the way to work. After a few drifts.....I sure am glad that she posted the pattern(I guess that I was fishing deep enough!)

I can see that I need to do some more tying befor I try to run w/ the big dogs

Thanks for the experience and, I'm game for next year if it's a go!

Flies arrived in Toronto today. Some very nice work! I'll take them to the tying club to show how a swap brings results and helps one learn.

I sure enjoyed the swap and the great flys that came in the mail today but, the real question is "what did Toby think of them?". Great meistering job Diane and look forward to swapping with everyone again.....Jason

The photos are in another thread, folks. Figured it would be easier for people to see them that way. Great flies.. thanks again for playing.
