A little belated perhaps, but better late than never I say.

The original count was 23, but I have opted not to tie this year because
of heart trouble (I don't have the heart to raise my sore arm to vise
height)
so the count stands at a corrected 22.
Kudos to:

for getting their flies in early. I only mention this to make the
laggards feel even worse than they do now. :-) Still plenty of time
though, Feb 15 looms out there some 22 days from now. Please don't forget
to:

1.)Put tags on your flies
2.)Send return postage in one form or another
3.)Put them in a box big enough to hold all the various sizes of flies
you're going to get in return.

I remain your very meek swapmeister (see Tim, I've turned over a new
leaf)
