FLY SWAP 1

[exerod]

I've been in touch with Colin via PM on the Fish and Fly Forum, it seems he cant get logged in here. His reply to me below:

"Andy i can't get logged in ,i made some minor changes to the board and deleted a post and since then i haven't been able to login. ,I have 9 packets of really nice flies ready to post but haven't been able to get back on to write the 2 addresses that were missing down .Proboards are a long time in getting back to me aswell.
PS i think 1 was yours perhaps?

Colin."


May be an idea if we all PM on the FFF to make sure he has our addresses.

whats up?

I sent a self addressed envelope to colin as per our arrangement..... Im not sending a pm alan, i think you have done your bit. If the flies dont arrive, so be it.

I agree with the above & a little more communication would have helped regardless of a login problem.
That would maybe have stopped it turning into a bit of a farce.

I disagree, if the fly swap is too difficult to complete, then i would appreciate my flies back in my SAE and i will reimburse the cost of postage back to Colin

fair point.

Flies arrived this a.m. gents and I'm very impressed to say the least.

Thank you to all involved and of course Colin for organising.

Flies arrived today, post must be a bit slower here than other parts. Thanks to everyone that took part it was worth the wait. All the flies will catch fish, it will be interesting to see who and which pattern gets the first fly swap fish.
