John,

Thanks you. They are flies that have worked well for me. I hate sending folks an untested pattern.

Guys - flies in from texfly and sjo - they are EXCELLENT - thanks.
Apologies I haven’t had time to put up photos of the flies as I go along - with luck I’ll get a chance next week to take and post photos before I send the packs back.
Cheers - JW

Flies in the mail…priority

Alrighty - flies in the mail - some specific msgs:

  • REE: used Priority Mail, as you gave me enough - hopefully you’ll get the flies wet this weekend
  • Sancty: in the mail to your apt
  • Feenom: in mail to your apt as well
  • sjo: about to send you a PM in an hr or so to sort out mailing options to europe

It’s a great pack of 18 flies - some sweet small sizes for upcoming river hatches. Thanks to everyone for all the efforts! If I can get around to it I will post pics of all to this thread for the benefit of everyone else!

Cheers guys - JW

Flies came in today and they look great. Thanks to our host and all the tiers.
Looking forward to giving them a try.

I’ve been at ceremony for the last 9 days, and returned to find the envelope torn open and an empty fly box. I did find some toe tags in the trash. VEE is leaving for a Woman’s Fishing Trip to Oregon this morning and has some really nice looking spinners and cripples in her fly box. I wonder if there’s something amiss here.

I just got home to find a nice package of flies…well done all.

Nothing yet, still waiting in agony, wondering how they will do on my fishing trip with my wife in the Belgian Ardennes.

Hi everyone - my first post on faol - I was a fill in for this swap from the FTF. I just wanted to say thanks to all and JW for hosting. I got mine about a week ago. A wonderful set of flies for sure.

Old Hat,

I thought that handle looked familiar. We look forward to your posting some of your excellent fly dressings here as well.

Coming back from a fishing trip I found your flies at the doormat. They look sweet and I will try them next time. Thanks to you all and to the Swapmeister for hosting!!
