Cool Mac, It will be some time before I cast to bones so I will cast it to salmon and it looks like it will work. I cant wait to see all the flies. Im done pending participants, i'll post a pic soon. AKGrayling, I too am in Anch and when the time comes to get flies in I could drop them off or meet you somewhere like a local flyshop or something if it works for you. I really dislike standing in line at the post office.
Ahh, nice marmot

I wouldn't mind delivering the flies in person have a coffee or brewski but, the road trip is a bit much right now with the time of year and it is a loooong way from Southern Alberta. I've got the flies ready to send, will probably send on Monday.

If we don't see you online for a couple weeks, we'll know why! Are you saving the full-dress Jock Scott for the next swap?

Any time the recipe calls for spinning and packing and trimming, the time factor jumps up alot. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of your labors Steelie!

I don't spin my deer hair i just tie it in in clumps. It takes less time, it makes a lot thicker flys and its just easier for me.

Saw where you mentioned on another thread it's still winter there. Sorry!!!! Makes more sense why you're going for the Goddard knowing that. We have open water and hungry fish here so there will be no tying during daylight hours!!!

There will be no more tiers accepted so it looks like everyone will tie 13 flys. They will be due in sometime in the middle of this month sometime around the 15th

it looks like everyone will tie 13 flys. Actually everyone ties 12 unless they want one of their own back.

It might be a tad easier on the SwapMaster if all of the packages he makes up are the same, without having to keep track of which goes to whom.
