Man I would love that. I might have to stay for more than a week because I don't think I'll have a home when I get back.

Your killing me. "Oh I forgot, I have two" My wife would really not like me. I'm the high bidder on ebay right now at $1.04. Yeah that's one dollar 4 cents. I don't think that's going to last. I was looking at a 6wt at BCO today. By the way your flies are there. Give me that second rod and I will deliver them for free!!!

Welcome to the forum. Both lakes are great but I'm a little partial to Pomme. Spent a lot of time up there when I was in college. That jon would put you in some very productive water within a few minutes on Pomme.

Usually it doesn't freeze like this.

That's funny. Thanks for the honesty Gavin.

Abruptly and sharply are not things that a whaling vessel can do. And if you actually watch this video and the others on the internet you will see the bat boat moving forward. What's really amazing is the fact that they had so many cameras around when this happened. I'm not saying that what the Japanese are doing is right but the Sea Shepard group isn't doing the right thing either. When your own country will not support you then something is wrong.

Make sure you give Sutton a hard time. I don't see him that often anymore and I know he deserves it.

I tried to get by there last week but didn't make it. I will be by on Monday.

Whoa, what's up with this upgraded crap? You mean mine is already last years model? I don't know if I could ever even bring myself to fish it anyway. That's one of those flies I would lose on the first cast and I probably can't reproduce one of those.

Just checked the bench and yeah I have two of them. I really didn't mean to do that. I have your address still I'll toss it in the mail in the morning.

Holy cow that's a lot of information. I think I will just continue to guess. It's worked out so far.

The flies are in the mail, and for the record my 16 year old daughter thinks we are all retards. Mike, I have yours whenever you want to stop by. Terry, I will bring your's and Duane's by the store today or tomorrow. And since only half of you remembered to include tying instructions, there wasn't much information to send along. I will get the pictures posted later this week and then we can add the instructions for those that are missing. Thank you everyone. It was a really good swap and I'm sure you will be pleased with the flies you receive. I apologize again for the delay in shipping.

I sold your set on ebay. What days in Feb? I'll see if we can get together at least once.

Welcome to OAF Hopper Juan!

I agree.

I like the Hopper Juan. Hopper Juan Tying Video

Yeah, I'm a piece. They will be tonight I promise. I have been hit hard at work and have not made the time to separate and mail. That was my intention last night but after working all weekend and a trip to Dallas and back it just did not happen. Tonight I will get it done and will have them in the mail first thing in the morning. I apologize for the delay.

Good looking flies Geoff. This is a huge file but I thought you might enjoy it. Hang Time

So that's where you've been. I thought you were studying your dictionary. Nice day, even if you had to deal with the ice.

This would be my choice if I was going to throw a stickbait.

Well okay but we are going to need more than a six-pack now!!

But in this case it's not the retailer that gets to figure out what the fair price is. In the business I am in we have the same deal. The manufacturer of most of the products set the final customer price. These are also the items that we make the lowest GP on. So you say, "Well find a different supplier", easier said than done. In the fly shops case, how can you be in business and not carry Rio products? The manufacturer has you where they want you. In my company's case it means 70% of our business. Can't just go find another supplier, it's not that easy. However, if someone finds a good deal, they can do whatever they want with it. The manufacturer has no controls over them. So instead of standing up to the manufacturer we scream and cry over what the "wagon peddler" is doing. Nothing against Michael, I've heard this complaint from store managers for close to 15 years. But what everyone needs to do is take a step back and realize that you are loosing very little. Brian is not going to become the Almighty Rio distributor for the area. He will sell what he has and move on to something else and most fly shops in the area will not lose much if anything at all. But it is still a sore spot to the shops that have to follow all the rules. So good luck Brian (anybody think he will ever post another item for sale on here); and Michael, I can send over a six-pack if it will help calm you down.

Wednesday is not the best day in the world for me but I will try to be there. I can be the one that shows how NOT to tie a fly!!!

What flies??? Yes I received them and will be splitting them all up tonight and get them mailed this weekend. I will also photograph them all and post. Terry, I will bring yours by BCO next week. Duane, I need to catch up with you to give you and the wife your flies. Wheatenhiemer, I'm just going to keep yours for myself!!!!
