Success! Guys, we've got a GREAT looking bunch of flies! I'm still waiting on two submissions, but so far this is what we are looking forward to. (Those eyes on JustDave's Brown Bugger are giving me nightmares...)

Wait 'til they start winking.

Thanks for posting pics. looks like a nice set of flys . I wanted to put holographic eyes on the shad pattern but didn't have the proper size.

Nice! That's a great lookin bunch of flies.

Good lookin group of flys!!!!!!!!

Folks, all of the flies received have been divided up and are ready to ship as soon as I get Harrington's and dpeck21's submissions.

Harrington's smelts arrived today! I'll get a picture up soon. Hopefully we'll get dpeck21's flies in the next day or two so I can get these back out to you guys.

Hey guys sorry for the delay I had shipping difficulties so I ended up tying more flies, I'll have them out ASAP

Flies are en route, dropped them off yesterday. Sorry again for the delay

Dpeck21's flies arrived today! I will get the remaining pictures up tonight and these things packaged to ship, however it may be Wednesday morning before I can get to the post office. Anyone that sent priority mail boxes or provided adequate priority postage will have theirs returned via priority; others will be in a cushioned mailer. I'll post again when they ship out!

dpeck21's (beaded nymph) and Harrington's (smelt) submissions!

The flies all shipped out today, and depending on your home location, you should have them by the weekend! Even though we only had nine participants, due to multiple submissions by several tiers, everyone should have 13 flies in their boxes. Thank all of you for your participation in the 2011 Flyswap! As usual, I am very impressed by everyone's flies and tying abilities - a couple of these had me scratching my head, "how did they do that?" I will suggest that if anyone manages to land a fish with any of these flies, post the photos!


Looking forward to next year,
Shane "TallCrane1"

Thanks TC for hosting this swap.  Thanks all you Tie Flyers.  Looks like a nice bunch of fish slaying items.  Looking forward to receiving and fishing with all of these.
