Portland Fly Shop might be the only guys open on a Sunday.

I might have a couple things for you! Let me PM some options later this weekend. Others can chime in on fly shops for now…I’ll touch on that later.

Woooohoo yass lawd…In a few more weeks I’m gonna be checking that mailbox hourly. Can’t wait for these shipments.

Nice, yah. Makes sense! I’m pushing my luck this year and doing the late show. I’ve done the virtual version of these things the last two years from home and would like to be around humans. After three covid shots, and then acquiring covid in December with just allergy like symptoms...

Made decent progress on some tube flies for the swap today. I’ll get pictures up in a bit. I had to buy some marabou again for the first time in ages…and my goodness the quality has really gone down hill. Or I just had two unlucky batches, I don’t know. It took a lot of sorting and throwing...

I’ve had and Idaho trout trip on my mind lately but can’t figure out why. Just seems like it’d be a fishy state… Need to do more research for an extended road trip from OR.

Please tell me it’s a Tacoma

Alright poachers…any of you PNW forum members attending on Saturday night? If yer there, I’ll be the white guy in the Patagonia hat. Be sure to give a wave and say ‘Hi Snakes’ if you see me. 🤣 But I’m also sketchy about attending events so I’m likely to bail at the last minute. If that...

As usual, fish issues be complicated. Stay healthy.

Fixed it for yah... (Also, incredible flies. I'm jealous that you're done.)

Haha…got me. But that was days ago. Run is definitely over by now.

This is where we start taking bribes…I like to trade in knowledge and hotspotting typically. Of course you’re in! Still tons of time. Will update the roster later tonight and get a tying count out to the group.

We’ve got our final member! Shutting it down now so we can all start tying!!! Welcome to the team!!!

One fly per person. We’re at six total right now including yourself so just five flies to wrap. Would be nice to get another for six but this will work!

The amount of eyeglasses knowledge here is really impressive. Wow!

Nice to have you in for the first swap. That’s great. Just send me a private message when you’re done for my mailing address. I’ll gather em up, organize, and ship back out. Just let us know if you have any delays or run into issues finishing them up. Communication is where these things...

No preference on hook size from me. Whatever you’ve got on hand or think works best for the pattern. Totally your call!

Boom! Coming together nicely!! I’ll update the main post in a bit with details…

Alright…this might be a record for smallest fly swap ever. But PhilR and I are confirmed. Worst case we’ll just tie up a few different patterns, catch large fresh fish, post those fish with our flies in their mouths, and make everyone jealous they they didn’t enter. 😵 Books are still open...

Boom! Phil…good to see your name again. We’ve fished together in the past from our Westfly days. Been a really long time…I’ve lost all your contact info unfortunately.
