Wow. thanks everyone! This should be fun.

I've asked my wife for a new vise for Xmas.  I haven't been good or nice but I think she will come through anyways so sign me up for a rusty brown....or maybe a pearl.  I'll send something, thanks.

I'll give it a shot. Not sure of what yet. I'll let you know.

I would like to thank everyone that signed up for this fly swap. It filled up quick!

Now, I'm off to the shop so me and LRM can twist some thread on some itty bitty hooks :o

Quick question about when should we mail these things in ??????
The more I fish the more I realize it isn t about the fishing.  The older I get the more I realize it is about the moments God has hand crafted just for me.

The quantity of flies for the swap has increased to 13 for an even baker's dozen!

I have already had one request for my address. If your ready then let me know. I will be seeing several of you in the next couple of weeks and you can deliver them then if you choose.

I personally haven't even gotten started as I just got home with the hhoks and thread a few minutes ago.

I will not send the flies out until everyone has completed the swap!

I was kindly banking on the "after the holidays" deadline due to a few holiday work days I got for Christmas ;D .    However, I'll get on it ASAP and try not to hold you guys up.  :)

Goo Goo Ga Choob!

I'd like to go where the pace of life's slow. Could you beam me somewhere, Mister Scott?

I've got crushproof containers to re-send the flies back out in, so's if everyone want's to get them to you safely, you can put them in the containers.
I'M DONE!

I dropped the flies off at the post office this morning at 8:45am, put you a prize in the envelope for hosting.

Thanks and Merry Christmas
