Stand by Gents... we may have a couple of missing sets of flies, the postie may have taken my fly fishing
Just trying to sort so may be a week or so more to give these flies a chance, if everyone's ok with that??

Cheers
Mike.

PS. I'm not out fishing them if that's what you were all starting to wonder

[DMJ]

Those are my flies that seem to have disappeared on the way to NZ.

Mike and I talked about it last week, so I tied up a second set just to be prepared, they will be sent tomorrow with bells and whistles. Sorry for the delay

Cheers
Dennis

Thank you Dennis: i believe this is the first time in a fly swap ever where I havent been the last

You're very welcome

The "funny" thing is that, usually I'm pretty up front with my flies when doing. But this time I really struggled to get the flies ready in time and then they get lost. Ah well, sh!t happens and a new set are on their way

[Johnno]

I recently sent an order over to the Canadian East Coast. Several Dozen flies just disappeared.....I was muttering as I really didn't want to do a repeat dose of an order that involved size 18 and 20 dries and emergers I was psyching myself to start the lost one again when an email arrived. The flies appeared 3 weeks after leaving NZ. Phew!

[DMJ]

Mike, if 2 sets arrive, feel free to keep them, share them to all the participants, donate them to the local junior or whatever you think is best spent

The danish post claims 4-5 days + recipient customs for delivery, it's now been around a month since the first set was shipped, so I'd be surprised if they show up though

[Wilki]

Hey Drew... your flies are AWOL also??? I sent you a PM not sure if you got it but haven't heard?? Flick me a message???

[Wilki]

Dennis your flies have arrived well done... haven't heard from Drew??? Anyone know anything???
I see from his stats he hasn't been online here since the 18th July so not sure he has seen my messages yet???
Other wise I will be looking to post out the flies in a couple of days???

[Wilki]

Ok guys, I made the call and have packaged up the flies without Drew... sorry Drew but haven't had contact, hope all is well???
I will try to get them in the post tomorrow so a few may hit your mail boxes by the weekend with any luck???
I am starting to upload the photos to photo bucket and may load them tonight, don't look if you don't like the spoiler
