Mine arrived today!
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!
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.
Greeting

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?

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.

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.
