FLYMPH FORUM

This is great! Maybe I can get everything out next week. I will photograph all the flies, don't shoot the photographer, and hopefully the shots will come out well. Thanks everyone for participating.

All flies are in. I will have them mailed out by Tuesday. I want to thank you all for indulging me with this swap. The flies are great.

Greeting

I have flies as they arrived today. Very nice looking swap flies.

Got my set today, very impressive as always. Jeff you went all out on this one!

All out? If by all out you mean left it to the last minute to throw some thread and feathers around a couple of hooks and get them in the post allowing for the 7-10 day delivery time so I did not hold up the works..... then yep, I guess I went all out!
Pretty rushed effort, just some examples of what could or can be done with the package contents. I am sure when mine arrive there will be plenty of wonderful ties that make mine look a bit pale and cause me to wonder at the ability of all the other tiers that were part of the swap.

Come on dude, don't sell yourself short . I wish I would have done multiples now that have my package.

I should have tied multiples..... I had the time to do so, I just did not manage that time well. Dang work and family and stuff like that.........
Then you could have had some duplicates of a couple of Kiwi patterns that you could have taken fishing.
Not sure if I mentioned it in the toe tags, but the flat wing "killer" style lure (streamer) was invented by Keith Draper, quite the iconic tier and fisher- plus author and historian on Kiwi fly patterns here in our little piece of trout Mecca in the South Pacific.

fflutterffly, Howdy;
