Biot Midge and IRBR, your flies are in. We're coming to a close on this one. We're almost all in. JGW

Poppers are on their way, finally. Dan

The Hardys (or Carls Jr.) 5 pound Bass Burger Poppers are on there way.

In other words, they are BIG and meant for spot fishing LARGE BASS>not many panfish will hit these accidentally!

The finish on them isnt so great~I did a two sided (white belly/green top) body, with about 4 coats each, but the spray finish crackled with each additional coat (I did 3 each) even after sanding. Not sure what I did wrong there???

Otherwise the demo one I tried floated well and sure did make alot of commotion...hope they are effective for you all. Sorry they took so long~!

Wow, the heavy bombers came in today. Wow. Wait till you folks see Cheli and Gober's! Unfortunately, I'm running out the door for a weekend meeting in Boston and won't get at the separation until I return Sunday afternoon. They'll be in the mail Monday morning! JGW

Wow! We'll need to thank my exchange student, Jesse, for saving my life. I gathered my box of swap envelopes, which includes poppers and such from a couple of months ago, and all I could count was 11, including my pile. I was frantically searching, turning the house upside down. LIterally. I know how frustrating it is to lose a box of someone's flies for it happened to me on the recent worm swap. I was determined not to go back to someone and plead for a new set of flies. So I was on a chair searching through the chips and such on top of the fridge, the last possible place they could be, when Jesse walked by and asked what I was doing. I explained, so she turned and counted the boxes. 12. Say what? "I counted them twice, John, and there are 12." I climbed down off the chair and counted. 12. Amazing. So, Featherfastener, breathe a sigh of relief, for yours was the one I couldn't find to mark off the list. Anyway, they're all separated, boxed and ready for the PO this morning. I want to thank everyone for playing. It was a fun swap, as always, especially thinking of how we differ in our thoughts of how to attack the deadly largemouth bass!!!!! JGW

A final note: you swappers are simply incredible. I was expecting to have to foot another $5 or so in additional postage since this swap started long before the USPS postal increase. Well, I did have to pay in . . . all of 16-cents! Wow. What incredible forward thinking. Let me know when you get 'em! JGW
