RE: [VFB] Iain Short's Johnny Reb

That is a beautiful fly. Well done, Iain!   Sorry to hear that the stupid customs is causing so much trouble. We’ll let all kinds of people sneak across our borders illegally but noooo, can’t have a couple of feathers.   Jim   * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Jim Collins Technical Writer Willow Valley Software 209-537-5288 [EMAIL PROTECTED]   * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jimmy D. Moore Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 7:16 AM To: vfb@troutnet.com Subject: [VFB] Iain Short's Johnny Reb   Sorry to bother the rest of you VFB'ers, but this is worth it.  As some of you know, I'm meistering the REDNECK Fly Swap which ends this June 3.  However, Iain has mailed his swap flies twice, only to have them confiscated by Customs or lost.  So, Ian sent me one of his Johnny Rebs in an envelope inside a glasene bag. It made it here in just 5 days.  I wanted to pay special tribute to Ian for his effort, so I posted his fly on my new website, under REDNECK Swap Flies.  It is a really neat Salmon fly and I invite all of you to take a look at it. Hopefully, at least one of his other sets of Johnny Rebs will make it in time for me to mail them with the other Redneck flies. Just click on my new website below my name in the signature line.  Then click on Redneck Swap Flies.
