Well, the last time I was in a swap I was whining because I was the last (except for poor Rene across the pond) to get my feathers. But I seem to be the first recipient of Jimi's Bench Swap flies.
And I'm not whelmed. That doesn't start to do justice to it. Even OVERwhelmed does not express my feeling. Folks, we've got some GREAT tyers on this list. It's impossible to place them in any sort of order, so I'm going to describe them individually as I pick them out of the box....... I got about half-way through and ran out of superlatives. So I ersed the descriptions. Let me simply repeat - we've got a FINE group of fantastic fly tyers on this list. Thanks to Jimi, DonO, Rene, John Roth, Deb, Joe Leavitt, Mitch, John Roth, Dick Youll, "Pez", Mark, Soren Finne, and those whose flies weren't identified for participating in the swap. Other people have such great senses of proporting - I'm jealous. And MANY thanks to Jimi for hosting this swap. Allan Allan Fish Greenwood, IN [EMAIL PROTECTED]
