Happy Groundhog Day to al. The woodchuck did not see his shaddow. Spring is at hand… right !!!l

Dan’s flies arrived. A nasty storm blew through here today but mail was delivered. Dan, I haven’t peaked in your offering yet, I probabbly will tonight or tomorrow.

Alba surf, It looks like you tied some interesting flies. I’ll let you know when I find them in my mailbox

Five sets in, three to go.

Ed

The post office was closed Tuesday and Wednesday but today I mailed off the flies, Priority and with delivery confirmation. So with luck they will arrive in 2-3 days. I apologize for taking so long but I hope you’ll deem the flies worth the wait!

The flies for the technique swap arrived the day before yesterday and they were sent out one day earlier than the twisters. I hope they will come in soon now.
Sjo.

No Flies in my mailbox today (Friday).

I’ll give daily mailbox reports from here on out.

Thank you Sjo and Alba Surf for your updates.

Ed

No Flies Today (Saturday, Feb 5) perhaps Monday.

Ed

AlbaSurf’s flies came today. I like the material she used for the tail. Now, where can I get some ???

Your humble swapmeister

I’ll send you some! LoL, it’s an old swim cap, and a bugger to cut! But I think the action will be superb!

Mine should be there any time now. They’ve been out for a bit.

I’m afraid that my flies got lost. That happend before. I’m so sorry for holding up your Swap. I think you better wrap things up with THE flies that came in. I was really content about my mean red twisters.

International mail can be unpredictable. Sometimes 10 days, sometimes 3 weeks. I believe both sets of flies will arive in the near future.

Ed

Gigmaster’s flies arrived today. Very cool !

One more set, one set more.

Ed

Ed, I’m sorry but I don’t believe in it anymore. What to do next, shall I ty a new Bunch of red mean looking Twisters or do you wrap it up now?
Grtzzz…

Ed have you got any news or an update by any chance?

This swap is getting a little bit ?long in the tooth?
Here is how I plan to wrap this swap up.
IF sjo?s flies do not arrive by March 2nd from the Netherlands, one month past the due date, I will sort and mail the flies to everyone who sent me flies. ALSO, I will sort and hold a set for sjo. In effect I will be holding sjo?s flies in ?escrow?
When sjo?s flies land in my mailbox, I will send him a set and individually mail one of his flies to each of the swap members.
I have communicated by pm with sjo and he approves of this plan.
If any swap member has questions or comments about the wrap-up of this swap please send me a pm or post here.
Your humble swapmesiter.
Ed

Sounds like a plan. I don’t mind waiting extra when flies are in the mail, and I agree that 1 month past the deadline is a good cut off.

I’m sure sjo is Ok with this and hopefully the flies will show up soon…he does tie some really nice flies.

I sent five sets of flies out today. I am holding flies for sjo and will will mail his contribution to each swap member when they arrive.

Ed

Bass_Bug asked me to tell you guys that he Has received his flies and wants to Thank everyone for them and how everyone did a Great job!!!
