Gig...

In some of my swaps...
Ive got flies from... Japan, China, 2 from down under, 2 from Europe, and 1 from South America....

Everyone of them were on time.....

I think what got on everyone's nerves... is in almost ever swap someone was late..
even as a hobby.... you can still sit down and tye a few flies in a hour or so...

I have been in my fair share of swaps.... now I tye for local shops... doing 300- 600 up to 1,000 (yes thats "Hundreds") dozen in the winter months.. Ive even tyed tied for feather-craft.. and Rainy's ( www.rainysflies.com) has picked up one of my flies and is now tying them commercially..
The PMS (The Pine/Marabou/Streamer)

Its not that hard to tye a couple of dozen and be done in a week or two....
