Mine arrived today! :D
Excellent work as always by everyone.
Special thanks to zenleecher for the extra Trout Fin flies, very well done.

REE, love the descriptive notes on your toe tag! :P

Very special set of flies to add to the impressive pile of swap flies tied by some very talented folk from all over the globe. ;)

Many thanks to Ms fflutterffly for her organisational skills and mailing out, especially the International packs.

The set I received from the swap will end up displayed in a shadowbox.

Thank you Ariel for being the Swapmeister. My set arrived yesterday, very nice flies by evrybody.

As you all can see I put the materials I used with my fly. I would like it if you all tie a fly with these materials and send the fly to me, I will make pictures of them and put the pictures on the forum.
If you need my postal address send me a PM and you get it.

R. Can we add anything to the materials or are we limited to only what you sent. I love this! Great idea. Will you be coming to Yellowstone next year?

Ruard, Howdy;

Be happy to comply, although you are asking for a one and done
from (in my case), a ham fisted hackle buster... :roll: , :lol: .
Reckon I will have to do some warm-up tyes before I do this one.
Please Pm the address and I'll do what I can.

Very nice Ruard. I thought your inclusion of materials was very cool. I'll tie one up. Thanks.

thanks also to everyone who played in this one. I think I failed to say so when my set landed. It's a great idea and a nice tribute to a very generous individual.

Pics. Pics. Pics. :D

You can do as you want, but the idea was: use the same materials so we all can see the differences in tying style in one pattern of a fly.

I cannot come to Yellowstone next year. My journey to Roscoe was really a once in a lifetime experience.
