Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing 3rd Annual Campfire Fly Swap?

Since you're already tying faster and better than I do, can I just PM you the recipe and let you do 'em? It would save on shipping! (wink!)

What on earth gave you the idea I was tying faster? I knew I was working with a handicap, so I had to start a lot earlier.

Somebody was bragging on the way you quickly shrunk your time per fly, and he wasn't too good at concealing his pride at your progress!

Now you've done it!

Don't swell her head -- my eyes couldn't take twice as much shocking pink hair!

MissTreated: Could you PM a shipping/mailing address please? 1Minute

you got them already, wow that was fast

Mayhap one of Mrs. Palin's demands, in exchange for joining the ticket, was speedier mail service to Alaska.
So now we know- McCain keeps his word.

The USPS is faster from AZ to AK than it is to UT. They were mailed on Friday and arrived Monday.

I wish it were that way around the state! Sometimes it seems to take forever to mail a package just a couple of hundred miles to the south.

MissTreated: The Hare's ears went into Priority mail this morning. To those that have not shipped yet, remember to drop a little dust in the box to help MissTreated with return postage. Dispersal might require a co-signer if we don't help out. Happy trails, 1Minute

Yeah! I didn't get anything in the mail today, but HG and Ned's should hit the doorstep any day, as a few more. I was hoping to get them all by this weekend so I could get them out in Monday's mail. We'll see......................

Thanks everyone!

I better get the crew kicked into gear. We're 1/2 way there, tied up 20 flesh flies and 20 leaches. I'll see if we can get the entire lot over to the mt/sd homestead this weekend.





I figured going to simpler patterns we actually get tied beat a pattern I'd like to tie but only don't have the time to get together 20.

Here's my second attempt at a muddler, guess this one can be called a fat head

Cool! Looking forward to getting them into the mix. Don't forget to make the toe-tags for them, too.

Gold dust or Angel dust? Which decade are you from- 1870 or 1970? Or should I have swept out under my bed instead of including with my flies a little of Uncle Sam's long green?

$Gold$

Isn't gold to Alaska approaching coals to Newcastle?
Besides, I bet MissTreated has more gold than she knows what to do with. I hear that folks up there don't dare swim in the rivers- each time they take a stroke, they gather handfuls of flakes, soon sinking and drowning under the weight.
