             Crazy post office nowadays. Guess it beats pony express. Tracking showed our package made it to you. Eight days to travel approx. 100 miles.  

 8 days to travel 100 miles? The Pony Express riders averaged 75 miles per day—meaning they would’ve blazed through 600 miles in the same time. That’s a quarter of the way across the country! Meanwhile, now days they are still deciding what snacks and playlist to bring for the day.

        This is really getting bad Anthony. I have an amazon order I placed from February 13 lost in the mail from a third-party vendor. Supposed to wait 48 hours for them to get back to me. I have a lithium deep cycle battery that set in a USPS sorting center in Kansas City over a week before starting to move through the system and it still took several more days to get here. It cost me 25 bucks plus to send a small box of feathers, the package you responded about and another envelope of a couple fly's all weighing close to nothing all staying in our state and now the post office rates are on schedule to go up again. Took well over a week to get a package from J Stockard in St louis. It got here yesterday and had been ripped up in three places where yiu could tell it got caught in a sorting machine. The item was still in there though.

USPS is setup for self-destruction by those in charge, enjoy it while it lasts.

    I guess we should all chip in and get @Linhardt a horse, saddle and USPS approved official set of saddlebags.

Sorry about my delay.  Sent mine this evening. I've been nose to the grindstone working on a full kitchen remodeling,  on top of being sick.   These are mini gurglers.  I cut the foam by hand and there isn't much consistency.    I do believe they will do fine though.  I tied a similar pattern last year or before and did really well on panfish.   These have a more pronounced tail, and are supposed to make noise while being stripped.

In case you’ve forgotten, the spirit of a fly swap is to tie new ones. Yourself. Recently. One pattern. Unfished. 🤪

I didn't send you my number. I'm sorry.

That said Mail really is the easiest way so that I have everyone's return address. Also please send your flies in a puncture proof container if possible, I know it's tougher than an envelope but I don't want anyone's flies getting mangled because they got crushed, or confiscated by USPS.

I have a few fly cups to spare but it's not an unlimited supply.

No worries. I will get them in the mail this week, after today's blizzard
