Until you posted that I was going to see if you wanted me to come over and help you with getting set up to tie these flies.

But after reading this I think I'll change my mind.

Seriously if you need any help just let me know and I'll be glad to help you out.

I have a foam body Adult Damsel "Blue" #10 Will be mailed out on Monday

DarkAisling · #33 10-18-2009, 03:16 PM

What is the best way to ship the flies? I don't want the hackels to get crushed in the mail. How much for return postage?

fishstick · #34 10-19-2009, 08:39 AM

my flies are done I will ship them out tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay in your question. Had to make a quick trip to Fort Mac. I was thinkin one of those envelopes lined with that bubble stuff. As far as postage goes just slip a $100 bill in the envelope and I will take care of it.

Sure sounds like we will have some very nice entrys in this swap. Good show everyone.

Deadline is Nov. 15, 2009

Funny guy

I shipped the flies I purchased off tonight. I'd recommend people don't do it the way I did, as it cost way too much (had to go parcel, vs letter): around $15 bucks total for postage.

I shipped them in the fly box that they arrived in. I know that the box is thin enough to go letter, as that is how Icky Fly Works sends the flies out. But, I used a padded envelope (Icky uses unpadded envelopes), which made it too thick to go letter. Ugh! If I hadn't used a padded envelope it would have been much cheaper. But then, of course, I had the padded return envelope stuffed in there too, which made it even thicker.

So, when you're sorting the flies just put mine in the clear plastic fly box, and then into the padded return envelope (which has $7+ postage on it).

Dumb, dumb, dumb. Oh well. At least the flies should make the trip intact.

My flies are turning out a little sloppy at the eye . . . hopefully by the time the next swap rolls around I'll be a little neater

honda450 · #37 10-19-2009, 08:24 PM

Will do Dark.

Man everyone is sure fast. Might get them back before the deadline date.

tonyflyfish · #38 10-19-2009, 09:46 PM

Thank you for organizing it

honda450 · #55 11-19-2009, 04:58 AM

You will notice that you will end up with 2 of your own flys back as there were only 11 people.

DustDee · #56 11-19-2009, 09:50 AM

Hopefully you sent my 2 worst lookin' ones back to me...

Wazzy · #57 11-19-2009, 04:52 PM

Well, I just wanted to say I received my flies today and it felt like Christmas already. Awesome flies everybody! Some very unique patterns I cannot wait to try next season! Thanks everybody for participating, this was my first swap and I will undoubtedly volunteer for others. Great work Honda getting things going and keeping everything organized.

Cheers,

Wazzy
