Hey all.

I have mine done, just need to know where to send them. Can someone send me a PM? and, NO, I am not sending them to either Ed or Vic - I know better.

LMFAO.

Nice....check your pm's

saltfly · 01-10-2008, 12:52 PM

billy;the shrimp are swimming your way this afternoon

tynan19 · 01-10-2008, 02:16 PM

Who we missing?

BillyBlanks · 01-10-2008, 03:28 PM

The only flies I have received so far are Denis' well diggers and your sand eels Tynan.

I tracked down NewEngland on his personal email account and he said he was out......very dissapointing, considering he had signed up for two spots.

Guys, please remember if you sign up for something like this, the other people in the swap are depending on you to participate and have tied flies in anticipation of you taking part.

Since guys have already sent the full amount of flies, I think everyone else should too. I'll figure out a way to mix them up, we'll just get a couple of the same pattern.

Not stressing either. Can't use them for awhile anyway.

Some of us have to work Tyan

tynan19 · 01-11-2008, 01:52 PM

LOL. I am at work now. I actually tied them while I was at work. I am just busting anyways.

striperman36 · 01-11-2008, 02:56 PM

If I did that, well do you have any openings?

BillyBlanks · 01-12-2008, 01:07 PM

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to ask, who fishes a sinking line? Curious cuz whoever gets my mystery fly will need one to fish it correctly.

saltfly · 01-13-2008, 09:13 AM

I do when the water is moving,waves on the beach,and deeper than 4ft. on the flats.

BillyBlanks · 01-14-2008, 04:07 PM

Saltfly, got your shrimp. Nice work

saltfly · 01-14-2008, 06:18 PM

the sand eel is yours.that's another"killah" on a grey day on the flats.on a sunny bright day knock off some of the flash if they turn off after attacking.

stripercrazy · 01-19-2008, 04:41 PM

sucks to get old...I can't see crap

I may start over with bigger flys too

I see the eyeball doctor...god I may need bi -focals

ATG is on the way.........where is everyone? Commin up on 3 weeks past due.

AT Grimaldi · 01-25-2008, 01:36 AM

Ed -

go to OSJL, AC Moore or Michaels and get a cheap pair of 1.0+ or 2.5+ or better. I have perfect vision, but a little magnification helps worlds. That being said, I am no optometrist.

- ATG

BillyBlanks · 01-25-2008, 09:32 AM

ATG, got your crease flies. Nice job, thanks for the participation.

BillyBlanks · 01-28-2008, 04:40 PM

Guys,

If I don't hear back from the people with outstanding flies I'll close the swap within the next week or two. Tiers that have sent thier flies feel free to give input if you feel we should hold off or close it.

saltfly · 01-29-2008, 07:56 AM

I think closing it in two weeks is reasonable.Also ,a notice to those who havent sent flys yet to please respond if they're "in or out" as of now.That way if there are others who would like to participate there is still time.

ThrowingTimber · 01-29-2008, 04:00 PM

totally spaced this sorry guys, theyve been in my truck since I got the address to send to. Works been nuts, havent taken a actually leave the desk lunch in weeks. My apologies.

BillyBlanks · 01-30-2008, 09:17 AM

No problem Timber, glad you've got them done.

Yeah but how much time do you take off during the season and when your there how productive are you after fishing all night. I think you owe them .

BillyBlanks · 02-01-2008, 09:29 AM

Haven't herd from anyone else, so once I get Timber's flies we'll close the swap out on Saturday (unless I hear from someone). That will leave us with 6 tiers, so we'll get two from each + mystery flies for those that tied them.
