Received Wayne's stunning looking "Yellow Gurgle Pop and awesome Red bead nymph flies"... Wow!!!... The pan fish are in for a real treat with these flies...colorful and deadly... size #10 & #12. Great work Wayne, Thanks for all the support.

Gang,
Now, That is all the flies have arrived I will photograph them and post them on a separate Fly Swap Thread this weekend so keep a watchful eye to view these wonderfully crafted flies. I will soon start the on-line auction/bidding next weekend to give everyone a chance to look at them...just like last year's auction... the winner of the auction will donate the $$ into the Bass Pond Contribution chest to maintain the website operation costs...
Stay tuned

Thanks again
Gillbuster

Holy Cow! Received CapeMike's outstanding looking Lithuanian Bat's in 2 different great colors, are they Awesome!!! & also received JeffSod surprise fly "Charlie Lemieux Herring"... You guys have got to see this original bass fly!!! It has a rattle in it and Jeff used a worm hook design to tie it... I can't wait to wet this fly. The Bass don't have a chance this year, they just better jump in the boat, and save themselves some trouble...Thanks guys for all your support.

Flytackle,
Received your 2 sets of flies in the mail today. The "Weedwalker" is an outstanding fly pattern, where did you ever find that fly pattern? Totally weedless!!! Guys, you also are in for a treat with Alec's panfish in-line spinner. This fly for me is going to be a June STS killer... Can't wait to try it out...

Glad they made it we got four days of snow (3 more feet for a total between 6 and 7feet now) phones went out for the whole long holiday weekend, but we did keep power at least. Oh what fun to live during a winter considered to be a 100 year storm weekend. Puts us right up there with the Donner Parties fun times. Haven't been able to walk down to go fishing for a week now. Looking forward to the auction, I need to win at least one set so I can fish one and keep one as patterns again!!!
