Jimmy, I got into this swap by commenting that ol' timers needed to be
using natural materials, so I made sure I tied something with no natural
materials. That fly was developed to fish the deep cuts coming off the
flats in fast movng water. Guarantee a redfish or two.
Thanks for the nice comments.

Hi Gang
Dan Gobers flies arrived today. All we lack is Joe Fusco's Beadhead
Peacock,( w / ostrich herl) Bug. Hopefully he got his finished over the
weekend and mailed. I've already started sorting the flies into 24
sets. Believe it or not, today is the first time I've actually set down
and looked at your flies. Kinda been saving them for when I needed
something to bolster my spirits. After watering all the plants in the
greeenhouse and putting out 100 pounds of weed & feed pre-emergent
fertilizer on our St. Augustine lawn, I needed an attitude adjustment.
Your flies did the trick.
This was my 16th Swap to meister and let me tell you, I was very pleased
with the quality and creativity of your flies. You'll be getting flies
from tiny size 24 or is it 28 or 32 trout flies, all the way through
panfish, crappie, bass, larger trout and steelhead flies. Something for
everybody! All the flies were great, but one stood out from the rest in
its ingenuity. I've never singled out a tyer before, but Jack Lehman's
Goldust Spoon is something to see. I'm sure it took an inordinate amout
of time to "build" just one fly, let alone 24. Notice that I said,
"build" cause Jack definitely didn't tie that fly. I can't wait to try
it on the bass, panfish and crappie in Lake Waco.
BTW, this is the smoothest running swap I've ever meistered, at least
from my end. My hat is off to each of you for "Taking Care of Business."
TIGHT LINES !
