Can't wait to get these on my hot little hands. Oh wait, we're having heavy rains and flood watches on all the major river. I guess I can wait til the water levels drop. Fine work from all tyers.

Carl, this is really nice to see. Great pics and a really nice swap. I'm looking forward to seeing the set up close.
(why didn't I get the memo about the marked tails?) (smiley)

Great job folks, and kudos to the swapmeister.

Outstanding work, gentlemen (and ladies

). Hopefully most of you will see fit to add your recipes.
A question for Old Hat, too: could you elaborate on what kind of lighting/fill system you're using for these photos? I really like the look of flies in something closer to their "natural habitat" rather than the ubiquitous "vise" shots.
