[VFB] Juicebug Swap Unleashed!
Hi VFB, The Juicebug Swap is finished, and flies will be on their way to swappers tomorrow. Congratulations and thank you to the participants who stayed the course and got their bugs in. These were creative patterns well beyond most tyers' comfort range, and kudos to those who jumped in and gave it their best shot. The extra files will be evenly divided at random, so you will get some duplicates to try out on the fish. Don Ordes' bugs were all different, so there will be additional variety there. As you can see by the photos, there were some really nice flies: http://tinyurl.com/juicebug Any questions to the tyers? Let me know if I have gotten any names / flies mixed up. It's always a bit confusing to do this. Thank you. Wes Wada replacement swapmeister Bend, Oregon -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Over a week ago, so I'm guessing some USPS worker is a fly fisherman. Oh well, as soon as I get more hooks I'll tie another post the pic.

[VFB] Bigtroutman email problem
FYI, if you've had some emails to me kick back, it's been fixed. I have an alternate email, i.e. bigtroutman that sometimes jumps into my rayado email and when the BT mailbox gets full, all my incoming rayado email gets bumped. This is one of those real twilight deals and even my guru, (owns his own computer service company), son hasn't been able to chase it down. So, I just dump all BT stuff when needed.

Fwd: [VFB] Juicebug Swap Unleashed!
Back from getting vittles to outlast this snow storm we're getting. Jim, hopefully those flies arrive. May have been delayed by the holiday weekend. I will add the pic to the group when they get here. If they get here today, they'll make it into the swap packages.
