Fly Swap

[Fishpart]

SALTYDOG,
I think that some people are under the impression that we have till March to get us through the holidays......I doubt I can finish in time to have them to you by the 4th....

[Saltheart]

You must be a real go getter SaltyDog! Most of us will need all winter to get our stuff finished as Fishpart mentioned. Maybe due to you in early March ?

[Jaiem]

I have half of mine done already

However, I agree that Jan. 4 is a bit short on time, given the holiday season. And March is way too long also.

How about Jan 11 of Jan 18 instead?

[Sammy]

SaltyDog,

I got my 12 tied do you want them now or is it easier to send them to you after the holidays? Do you also need seperate packaging sent for our return or just include the postage and return label and you'll use the same package to send us ours ?

Part of getting people to sign up was the stipulation that they had plenty of time to tie them. I actually threw out March when asked and I believe thats how we got 12 people to sign up instead of 4. Jaiem and Saltydog got a whole store full of flies but most of us will have to tie the dozen just for this swap and the next couple of weeks are all tied up with holidays , etc. Maybe March is too late but I think we should be thinking a month or two , not a week or two.

SORRY Im ahead of the game, I can wait till MARCH !
"GOOD LUCK GOOD TYIN"

[Saltheart]

OK so we send them to Saltydog at the address listed due in on March 1st.

Here's a couple of suggestions.
1) individually bag your twelve flies/teasers. That way they don't get tangled and damaged and they are easy to sort.
2) include a self addressed package with postage already paid for shippping back to you. That makes life easy for Saltydog.

[Jaiem]

I was tying some specials for the swap!

3/1 is fine for me. Wasn't trying to rush anyone.

Happy Holidays.

[saltydog]

Saltydog,

Sorry for the confusion the package from Sal is me (Sammy).

If any of you fellow Fly Fisherman are interested check out www.flyfishing-fly.com. All they have for the salt is Decivers but they are on sale for $1.00 each till the end of the month. I got my order today, the quality is A++. You can't go wrong, cost more then that to make them.

[saltydog]

SAMMY thank you for cleaaring that up.Ill check you OFF.

[JCXX]

I have 12 ready to go. Bit because of logistic reasons, I was only able to do a blue over white deceiver instead. Please accept my apologies for this. This batch will go out today.

[Saltheart]

No problemo Joe! We'll take what we can get!!

I now have 4 of the 5 i was waiting for. I think I'm going to send in the 4 and the last person will have to send in theirs direct to saltydog. He is having an epoxy curing problem.

I'll make a call tonight. Depending on what I hear , I may send out the 4 I have tomorrow.

[JCXX]

Mike,

I mailed them out already but I mailed them to Salty Dog's address. I hope that this was not a problem-- I thought he was the one receiving and processing them. It was mailed to flyrod outfitters address.

[Saltheart]

Yes,you are suppose to mail to Salty Dog. I'm just collecting them from people I see a lot and mailing them to Saltydog all together.

[Saltheart]

OK , got an email from Dave L yesterday and his flies are done. he will bring them to saltydog at his store. I will mail out the other 4. You should have them by Sat or Monday the latest Saltydog.

[Saltheart]

Looks like everyone is accounted for except Alex T. Anyone know him and want to email or call him to see if he's in or should we go without him?

[saltydog]

[JCXX]
