jjtroutbum Posted April 4, 2007 Author Posted April 4, 2007 Well got a couple batches of flies in yesterday so I updated the first post and felt a little guilty since I hadn't even clamped a fly in my vise for the swap so I turned out my first set also. I think every one so far has done a great job not only with there ties but also there packaging Now I just gotta get a camera so I can post that pick with all those flies stuck in my fingers like Mrs.Ducky requested.

Randall Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 okay, i finally got my bugs in the mail this morning. you should have them in a few days. Cute animals taste better.
jjtroutbum Posted April 11, 2007 Author Posted April 11, 2007 There has been a generous offer by Rolan Duffield our resident photog guru to take and post pictures of our files that have been submitted. If there are no objections I will send a set of nine to him and each of you and only tie and keep one set for myself. Also got another set in today and updated the first post.

MrsDucky Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 As usual, I'm a day late and a dollar short! Mine are on the way...tomorrow...I'm sorry! The government is giving us two extra days to get our taxes filed...I thought the same applied to the swap! I can bring home the trout...fry it up in a pan...and never let you forget I caught it! 'Cause I'm a woman!
jjtroutbum Posted April 16, 2007 Author Posted April 16, 2007 Ummmm.. Teacher forgot to do her homework!..tisk tisk Yep, No biggie I figured out that this due date coincided with another much more important "due date". Just got back from the post office myself There are a couple of others batches. That have yet to have made it in also. I'm sure that people will also have then here shortly.

Members JodyMikal Posted April 16, 2007 Members Posted April 16, 2007 Mine too! I have 2 more to tie tonight, then in the mail they go!
MrsDucky Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 OK, in my defense, I was very sick last week...and the week before that... You do accept late work, right? I did notice that when you try to tie that many in one sitting, yes, they do get better, but how do you explain the one that looks really nice...but is missing it's wings????????? How hard is it...thread, tinsel, tie in wire, hackle, WINGS, feather...same thing, every time, and I have a beautiful fly WITH NO WINGS!!!!!!!!!!! Kept it, gonna use it anyway. Probably catch the Taneycomo man eating squid with it, too! I can bring home the trout...fry it up in a pan...and never let you forget I caught it! 'Cause I'm a woman!
Flysmallie Posted April 17, 2007 Posted April 17, 2007 Mine will be in the mail on Tuesday. I've had them done for awhile but completely forgot to send them. Sorry.
jjtroutbum Posted April 21, 2007 Author Posted April 21, 2007 Updated first post Ok I received two more sets. One more set to go and to the post office I will go.

MrsDucky Posted April 26, 2007 Posted April 26, 2007 Ummmm, jj...I just realized that I forgot my toe tags...Do you take points off my homework for that? Mine are Poor Man's Spey, but tied on size 12. (Their "nickname" is PMS! I'm giving all you males PMS! ) Maybe subconsciously I didn't want them identified...especially if they don't ever catch anyone else a fish...or if they look too funny...or just aren't up to standards...Ah, well...they worked for me! I can bring home the trout...fry it up in a pan...and never let you forget I caught it! 'Cause I'm a woman!
