I got mine as well, and they are fantastic!

However, several flyz came loose from their tags and I have one more fly
than I have tags? So I have three tags without flyz attached and 4 flyz?

I'm guessing, but Dave Martel's Zebra Caddis is the dark deer haired fly
with brown hackle collar? Marty Lee's Black Warrior is the tiny beadhead
nymph? Mike Bernardoni's #10 Ryan's Butt is the beadhead with orange body
and red tag-end? I also have a deer haired fly with bluish CDC and have no
apparent idea whose it might be?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again Joe! And all of the swapsters!

Man, I'm bummed. I thought the US Mail would have a direct, overnight
flight from Taxachusetts to the red state with taxes higher than Rhode
Island.

i received mine today. ditto on the thanks to joe for the effort. and,
thanks to all of you fellers who shared the time of feathers and fur
with me...i'll be fishing your flies in nc, tennessee, and montana this
year. it's a warming feeling each time i use a fly provided by someone
from this place, and i'm grateful for the gift.

perhaps in the years to come, we'll share a stream and take a fish with
the other's fly. (of course, i'll need to work on my end a bit before
you have a similar hope).

btw...i didn't get your fly. i'm planning a breach of contract claim.

Maybe mine are in my mailbox at work. Freakin' work - too busy to check
for swap flies today. But things are looking up! Today was great Spring
weather, tomorrow looks to be just as nice, Perdomo is having an event
at the local cigar shop tomorrow, and I could be doing some afternoon
fishing before the sun goes down. WooHOO! As long as Joe doesn't tell me
I was one of the reprobates that did something wrong, I'll be a happy
boy.

Thanks Marty. Btw, I wasn't attacking the stature of your fly, I was only
trying to be as descriptive as possible. Yours is a wonderful fly, and I
intend to make copies that will catch many enormous trout! :~^ )

I confess that in the excitement, I may have misread the note. Knowing in
advance you hadn't tagged your flies, I was actually prepared to do so; but
there was something in the note from which I inferred that you preferred I
didn't, so I sent 'em the way I got 'em. Oops, I guess.

Tis true that those little black bugs were the most frequent escapees from
their tags. I think yours happened to be one of the first packages I
opened, and about a half dozen were loose, no big deal; but a few more kept
falling off during the sorting & packaging. Still, it was a day before I
noticed they were barbless. Gorgeous little guys though.

Yes..my Zebra Caddis is the dark Caddis with the (not hackle) Ostrich herl
head. Great job, everybody....and mucho thanks to Joe for pinch-hitting for
Frank this year.

The boys/girls in our TU Chapters "Casting For the Future" will appreciate
the effort; and the flies.

Jeff beat me to my comment ("a very professional job, as always"),
but I admit it was fun to open the box and know which one was your fly
without even having to look at the tag. Of course it didn't hurt that
it was a TN Wulff; I don't expect there's too many folks on here who
even know what the heck that is. :-)

Anyhow, it's already in my flybox for my Smokies trip in May (along
with a bunch of the other flies you guys tied).

Nice work everyone. It's always a kick to see what folks in
different areas/countries carry in their flyboxes.

On my fly: It worked well for me in Canuckistan on some fish that
see a lot of pressure. It's originally from Australia, I believe, and
I added a few modifications of my own (like the clipped hackles on the
bottom to get it to sit lower in the water).

I plan to try it on the hillbilly fish as well.

Got mine and guess what? At first blush, my fly isn't the biggest one
in the batch. Will do a proper review after some house cleaning.

what frank said. these brief initial observations: most "pro tie"
appearance, overall, of these events, for me. the aussie stuff looks good
for big bream and small bass in local ponds. chuck vance's "geehi beetle"
looks to be a killer for late spring in the blue ridge. the nymphs are all
very impressive. kane's "wilted spinach" will get a call on my first outing
here in a week or so.
more later.

Hi everyone,

Mine finally got here yesterday. I just opened the package, but it will
be a while before I get to tie some for this summer fishing extravaganza.

Thanks everyone for the great work, hope my fly is up to standard.

And thanks again and again and again to the swapmeister for all the work.

Have a nice Easter Week-End everyone.
