That's 11 of them. We've still got a slot saved for FISHN50, who tied up some Seth Green Emergers. When his flies arrive I'll update the thread with a pic and recipe.

These flies will be in the mail to all of the swap members tomorrow. Enjoy fishing them!

OUTSTANDING to everyone! Thanks ALLAN...as usual, great job!

Wow! They look great! I can't wait to try them!

Really nice work everyone!

Thanks for the excellent "swap master" effort Allan.

These are all so very fishable. I can hardly wait.

[Greenwood]

nice stuff and since I hate to tie the tiny ones, I'll definitely be looking forward to this box of flies.

[Pocono]

The flies were mailed off today, so you should all be receiving them shortly after New Year's.

Thank you for all of your hard work Allan. Nice pictures.
Unreal everyone. Just great. I can't believe some of the things that I saw above, splaying fibbets on a #32, woven body on a #24, WOW.
