Guess now would not be the time to mention the fly tying materials I just received doubles of because usps lost them. Original package arrived 6 weeks after the replacement order arrived. :cheers:

I guess I could make the obvious Joke of someone going POSTAL here but that would be to easy.......Noles and I have a history of Bad luck with shipping things to each other the facts are the facts and it is almost comical. Gil you have no worries cause the management of this jiont and I are in mutual aggreement that after this fly swap I am done P-f.com. So you can now be the Fly fishing, fly swap, and anything that you need ship please use the post office expert of the P-f.com.....

Got them today. Thanks to Forcedtowork for organizing this. They are all great looking flies, it's time for me to pick up my game if I'm going to participate in these swaps. I might actually hookup with a Tarpon if I can keep that hole jumper Noles out of my spots !!!. You know the ones he showed me !!

Not sure I understand why, if you had that many problems with the post office, you or Phinla didn't insure or register the items you were mailing.

"Going Postal" ... nah, not me. Just tired of hearing the same ol' rhetoric. BUT, it would've been a good post on your part.

I just mailed $7,000.00 worth of diamonds and watches for a fellow yesterday. "Registered Mail" ... the safest way to mail ANYTHING.

Sorry you've had such bad luck with the U.S.P.S. My apologies! :(

Dear F2W,
I fished your fly on friday. That bitch has some serious wiggle. Any tips to make mine swim like yours? P.S. the tail fell/got bitten off after about 7 casts to rollers in a rain storm.
