Send us the miscreants' names. We'll call 'em after 10 pm, visit them at their jobs, send them letters in official-looking envelopes, etc. That'll get some action!  I'm willing to wait, if you have something like PM confirmation that they're trying.

I believe I would do just that Miss. The deadline was Valentines Day, not Memorial Day. Even I am never 6 weeks behind.

If I had my taxes done I'd tie up another batch of something to get this going....

If the AFF auction was over, I'd have the darn things out the door. Maybe for someone's birthday!!!

What? Did you auction off all our Swap flies, and are now racing to tie up reasonable facsimiles to send to us?

Hi all, Work and the move absolutely fouled me up on the swap. Leaving the flies in CA didn't help either. Or at least that's what I surmise happened. Though I swear I packed the cursed things. For all I know their with my son's stuffed dog lost somewhere between CA and CO. The good news is now I have yet another vise and assorted tying tools (regular tying setup also left in CA). Even better news is that the replacement flies were sent up to AK last week, and could even be there now. My humblest apologies to all. Let me know what next years swap is now though, and I'll have them ready on time

I hope nobody used foam in their flies; by now it's probably brittle and crumbling...

Now that I have opened the package- Again, good job, folks.
I'm thinking that one of those flies qualifies as an 'attractor'.
(But what does Old Crow have to do with it?)
MissT, what percentage of rubber legs do you break when tying a knot in them?
Nice ribbing job, castandblast. That's more even than I ever manage.
I have a friend who loves midges. She'll like this one.
Now get out there and catch some fishies on 'em!

I got mine yesterday all the way over in Rhode Island. I was going to feed them to the fish today but it's blowing a gale and a front is supposed to stay parked on top of us all week. The State stocked all our trout waters on Friday and there's a lot of fish around. I'd love to catch fish on all of the flys. These fly swaps remind me that there are a lot of flys out there and any one could be the magic for the river I fish. I only know how to tie a few so it's a nice way to get a variety.

There ain't a member of the Swap that has any class. You fit right in.
