Since the official closing date for the swap has passed, and I have a bit of time while nursing a poorly head, I am delighted to put together a gallery of the swap. I’ll update it when I receive the final fly from Craig. In the order of the swap: 1 Madkeen - Mirage sunshine shrimp 2 Ade – BSF 3 Salmonshrimp - Silver Doctors 4 Underghillie - Much madness shadow shrimp (TAY VERSION) size 12 ED treble (millenium style) 5 Salmonshrimp – Heggli 6 Martin - Arndilly Fancy 7 Tyneytone - Ingerlish Tyne cascade with a green arse and fat heed 8 Scanny - Scanny Side Up 9 Butler106 - Life on Mars Flamethrower 10 Suirboy – Executioner 11 Gwelsher - Piglet Shrimp 12 Strathglass - 90% Cascade 10% variant And the money shot Hope you like! Since Craig has posted his set but they haven’t arrived just yet, I’ll hold on sending them out just now in the hope they turn up. I trust you are all OK with this. However, if you would like your set sending without the final fly just let me know. Superb standard of flies gentlemen, well done indeed. When you receive them fish them well and post any successes in the swap catch thread Tightest of lines Ade

Craig Your set still haven't arrived I'm affraid. Did the Post Office not give you a tracking reference? Bloody Royal Mail, not your fault. Let's wait to see what happens in the next day or two then I'll have to make a decision on sending the flies out. Perhaps your big stick might make an appearance on your visit to the Post Office If you were to tie up another 11 and send them to me I could forward them on at a later date at my expense as I wouldn't like you to miss out on the swap; as purely a one-off of course Let's see what happens next couple of days Ade

Don't worry ade, if I can't get a solution from the post office tomorrow just send the boys flees out and split the extras between the rest of the guy!
Bloody nightmare these posties!!! You pay extra to get them there safely and they don't even make it!! Craig

Royal Mail....................... Shower of W*****s!!! Ade, Ive had no luck at the post office they are about as useful and as an ashtray on a motor bike! It would have been safer strapping my flee to the back of a pigeon and throwing it in your general direction! Just send out the boys flees, they have waited long enough. As i said just divvy the other set between the boys or put them to a good cause. sorry again boys! Craig

Really sorry to hear that Craig I'm now in a predicament as I should divvy the flies up and get them out to the lads forthwith. However, since you have posted the flies (if you were just late it would be a different matter) I was going to wait a day or two and then get the sets out so that they reach everyone by the end of this week. It's only fair on the other guys. But, let me tell you that last year it was my 40th birthday and my friends clubbed together to buy me some GAC vouchers worth £200 towards a new set of breathables. I was told to choose what I wanted, go to checkout online and before placing the order print the page and send with the vouchers. I did so and took the step of sending Recorded "Signed For". Guess what? They went missing and Royal Mail couldn't trace them because they can't until they've been signed for (and not insured). To cut a long story short (and months later) it was only by the good nature of GAC, and the fact that me and a pal have bought stuff to a considerable value off them in the past that they honoured the missing vouchers and sent me my waders (they didn't have to)! So, because this is a forum of like minded members who I believe have fellow fishers interests at heart I would be willing to send you my fly from the set. However, I can't speak for others. I'd ask for the other members of the swap to let me know (by PM if they wish) whether they are willing to let me send your set to you? If you were willing to tie another 11 and send them to me I will forward them on to each individual at a later date. That would show your standing. I'll leave it to the jury but will have to make a decision Wednesday this week. Not sure I can be any fairer than that so I'll see what others come back with today/tomorrow. You never know, your set could turn up tomorrow Ade

I think this is why i enjoy fishing so much.... as the vast majority of like minded fishers out there are willing to help/do things to help other anglers. Don't think you get that in many sports or in the country these days Thanks for the generosity guys, and i will accept your offer BUT i feel it only fair i tie a fly also!! so i will start on another set of flies tonight. Ade, It not fair that you have to foot the bill for sending out my flies to everyone so was thinking if its ok with you that everyone on the swap PM's me their address i will pop them directly in the post to them. Send the flees out to the boys, can't have them waiting any longer. Cheers Craig
