Mine are finished, I just need to make toe tags and get them in the mail. I decided to tie Glass Minnows. Here is the recipe:

Hook: Mustad 34011 #2
Thread: Danville's flat waxed nylon, black
Underbody: silver mylar tinsel
Body: clear vinyl rib
Wing: bucktail and peacock herl
Gills: red krystal flash
Head: thread and black Loon Hard Head
Eyes: Delta Ceramcoat paint, yellow with black pupils

Going to send them today.....VERY soon!
Sorry, the embellished deceivers are out of our box.....the couple that ain't been wet yet! The top-water bugs we needed to do, as our supply suddenly ran out at the pond Fri. The baitfish of prevalance in the delta for the stripes here seems to be shad, so......?
Our water is usually a bit "not clear" so you may wish to pull the tail feathers as we do in Mexico's clear water.
What's a toetag?

Toetags are usually strips of paper attached to the hook of each fly letting everyone know the fly name tyers screenname and tyers real name. Some people include the recipe as well, I usually don't. Large toetags take up to much room in the mailing receptacle.

No problem Andy
I will be leaving for a short conference Monday to Weds to Atlantic city so you flies should be sitting there waiting for me when I come back.

I know it is too early down there for the stiper migration seeing as it really hasn't started here in RI yet or I missed it but I am going to bring my flyrod with me anyway and try to sneak away to a jetty or beach for a few hours

I received shenandoahangler's flies yesterday.

Good job buddy. I like the bright blue color. I my short experience in salt water so far I am finding that bright brilliant colors work the best and that they can't be to bright enough.

I am in no hurry but I just wanted to let everyone know that the delay is in the crappy international post system between the US and UK, hopefully it is not nearly as bad as the Pike Swap incident. I will get them sent out as soon as I get them.

Even though this was a small swap I think you guys will be impressed with what you get back. This is my first hosting job of numerous swaps and it is one of the best ones yet. In the delay I tied up a few of a sand eel pattern that I have been playing with to be sent out.
