Ron–have you decided what kind of fly to tie?

We have one spot left for anyone else wanting to join in?

24

Diane, I think I messed up. I sent my flies out before you posted your address. I used the address you had on the NFL swap. If you did not get them yet I think I will have to tie some more and send them.

Hi DianeID,
Well, flies are tied and going in the mail.
This is a “working fly”, no frills or art work. This fly uses Turkey and Whitetail Deer harvested here, by me, at home in the Butternut Valley, so goes the name.
I will send recipe cards with these, plus listed here.

“B.V. Hopping Caddis” (Dry Fly)
Hook: Mustad 94840 size #10
Thread: Danville 6/0, black
Tail: Yellow Calf Tail
Wing: New York Turkey
Body: New York Whitetail

Butternut, your flies came in. They look great, and it’s so neat that some of the material is from your area. Thank you for the other items as well. Awesome.

Ron Eagle Elk–have you decided what kind of fly to tie?

We have one spot left for anyone else wanting to join in? Since there’s just couple weeks left in this swap, in no one else joins up, I’ll just tie up an extra set of something.

Thanks!

Ron Eagle Elk–you have a PM… :slight_smile:

32

Hey Diane,

You have one back.

Thanks!
I’ll tie up another set to round out the numbers.
Unless someone wants to pop in this week, we have our tie list.

34

REE–I received your flies yesterday. We’re waiting on one more set that should be in today. I’ll send everything out on Monday.

By now everyone’s turkey should be gone! We threw out our last leftovers couple of nights ago. There are only so many pickings from a drumstick until it’s futile. LOL

Thanks to everyone for joining. It’s been a fun swap.

35

Hi everyone.
Thanks for being patient. I just received the last set of flies. The tier sliced off the edge of his finger doing dinner (no, it wasn’t turkey dinner, and he promised no blood on the flies), so he was late getting the last of them tied. (Something about having trouble tying with 8 fingers and one thumb.)

I will get the flies together and out in the mail in the next day or so.

Diane, I just received my flies from this fantastic swap. All I can say is WOW. I see a lot of fish coming on these. I will post a pic of all the flies on my site later this evening. Thanks again for letting join in on this swap. Thanks for the extra. Merry Christmas to you and all of your loved ones. John

I have posted a pic of the flies from this swap on my web page. You will have to copy the url and put it in your browser to get to it. Thanks again for letting me join in on this swap. John

Man, I love great surprises. Very nicely done, one and all. Now for the water levels to drop and the wind storms to abate so I can go fishing.
