Make it easy on yourself, Paymaster. We'll get them when we get them. If any are not submitted, just send us one less.

No problem Paymaster I'm not worried about making up the missing flies either.

No sweat on the other flies. Send them whenever NCHillbilly's gets here, or later- which ever

I agree with the others, no need to make up any missing flies.
OK, I have gotten the withdrawal fly replacements tied. I will give until the mail runs today for the other set to arrive, then close this swap. If the flies are a no show, I will tie nine more of some pattern to replace those. Then sort and ship in the next day or so. 
Mine is an old traditional southern Appalachian pattern, the yellow palmer. It's an old pattern, and a simple one-but it works. It's my go-to dry fly this time of year.
I bet that would be killer on those big brookies in the Nantahala, NCH!!!!
The swap is now closed. I did not get the other set so a bit more tyin and I will get the swap flies sorted and mailed. Thanks to all that participated.

Ok, flies are mailed. Great swap y'all! I look forward to the next one. Let us all know when you receive your package.
And to those that sent extras, never necessary, but always appreciated.

Got my flies, great looking work by everyone! Thanks paymaster for hosting and the extra flies
Good deal y'all.
I may do a flybox give away, with a set of these flies, later on. Just have to come up with an art theme for the lid.

Thanks, everyone! The box of flies came today. Not only do they all look great, they smell great - curiously strong like mint!
I cannot wait to tie these on and fish! Again, great job on the flies, gentlemen!

Got mine today. OMG they are something. This is the first fly swap that I've ever participated in. Paymaster- that was a stand-up thing you did by sending flies that you were not obligated to tie. Like my signature- not something you had to do.
Got mine yesterday. Great looking flies! Thanks everyone, I'm looking forward to trying them out.

Ok! Looks like the flies have found their new homes so all is good. Thanks y'all for the participation and it was a fine swap. I look forward to the next one. Remember, anyone can host a swap. So, when anyone is ready to do one that has not before, I will help and advise. Now I will un-stick this one and let it drift on down stream.
