Troutinator,your flies arrived this morning.Great work.
ALL FLIES DUE BY MARCH 15,2012
Ol J.W.

Glad they got there and you like them.  I'm here in Key West now, chasing everything with flies on some evenings after work and having a riot.  Nothing big, yet, but that could change tomorrow.  It's our first day off since we got here.  In the evenings after fishing, I'm finding the time to tie some other flies as I brought a small travel tying kit with me.  I do look forward to see the results from this swap when the flies come in.

ONE WEEK LEFT ON THE DEADLINE. ALL FLIES DUE MARCH 15,2012.

I'll be mailing mine out tomorrow

Ol JW;

Please PM me again with your snail-mail addy. I went to send the flies last night, but couldn't find your address.

Salty Dan

Hello fly swappers;

On my toe tag, I have the fly as a variant of Al Caldwell's crawfish. It is not. 

It is a variant of the late Al Campbell's crawfish. 

Sorry about that. Didn't notice until after I had sent them off. 

Salty Dan   

On the way,
Should see them by Thursday.
Sorry for the delay

JustDave

I sent the flies out this afternoon. Expected delivery is Wednesday. My submission is a #8 Yellow Perch Imitator streamer. Here is a picture:




Here is my recipe. It is a variant of a pattern found in "Noll Guide to Trout Flies and How to Tie Them" 1965

Thread          Black
Tail                Yellow hackle fibers
Ribbing          Flat gold tinsel
Body              Light cream floss or yarn
Shoulder        Imitation jungle cock eye; Yellow hackle fibers with orange-dyed deer belly hair throat
Wing              Insert 2 yellow saddle hackles between 2 yellow-dyed grizzly hackles; top wing with three strands of peacock herl

saltydan's crawfish are in,If you need the address, PM or email.Just a few tyer's left to go.
