Its all about what is in the box Clint not the box itself.

Clint's arrived in a cast?   Inventive box, Clint, they look good.

Whew !!! , Don't count me out Charlie, mine are done and will be heading your way tomorrow ..
I will admit it was a struggle for me.. I haven't tied in a very long time and realized my skills and eyesight has diminished greatly.. Had 1/2 the batch of salmon flies done and was completely not happy with any of the things I tied so went back from scratch.. 
I know most fish the mid-upper river so I tried to keep that in mind and stuck to more natural colors and adding enough movement in the fly to entice the strike..
The other 7 are a steelhead scud pattern that has worked well for me ..
Given that, I didn't just take a pipe cleaner and wrap it on a 1/0 hook , I believe each fly and pattern has at least 3 or more materials incorporated in them..
I also was not very proud of my sloppy skills so I'm throwing in 7 of my go to SRS steelhead streamer pattern that I have had un used in my fly boxes.. Most of you guys have already received this pattern but a few of the guys here have not so they are just extra to share and I wish nothing extra in return..
Thanks again for putting this together and waiting on a lazy bum like myself.. Looking forward to seeing what others fish and tie one on my line :

Charlie mine will be out tomorrow even though I finished them last Wednesday night :/ missed the mail and had a few dilemmas happen before an out of town wedding that we left for Friday afternoon. Will be in tomorrow morning for sure. Sorry and thanks again for hosting the swap!!!

In the mail!!!

I said I'd pay up front, but thanks to those who sent the return postage!
I'll have them mailed   back out , likely, next Monday.  I'll take a group picture for lurkers who wish to see flies that are actually fished. It's a varied bunch, and shows the different histories, influences and styles people have learned on the river. Looking at the group and thinking about how many fish those patterns have caught and how much the fish they caught were enjoyed and even treasured is just plain awesome.  It's one thing to participate in swaps of trout flies where you get a bunch of little fluffy things that can virtually interchange; totally another with a swap like this for fish that are  measured in pounds not inches and can take you to school, make you **** near cry, and forge memories that last a lifetime. I have a   coffee can of flies that I've gotten in swaps. Mostly, they sit in the can and I give them to  new fly fishers  on trout rivers  or when I meet someone who needs them. I've donated lots to Project Healing Waters. The flies from this swap will go in my go- to -the -river -and-fish-my-azz-off-box.  nuff said, Thanks again.

Said perfectly charlie... I hope you have one crush my fox tailed yellow bodied thing a ma bugger on the swing :)

Tuna I made the mistake of sealing my package before return postage was put in but instantly checked the swap thread to see that Charlie said he'd cover... Hats off to you charlie!!!

Fall gathering would be cool

Can't wait to see what you guys cooked up.
I've run enough swaps to know that even if the guy says he will cover return....its always nice to have someone throw in a few bucks :)
A gathering would be great, i'll be up this week end and over columbus day for sure.

Fichy they told me Thursday at the post office did you get them today?

Fichy,something tells me you and I could share a portion of water with only 10 feet between us while we both manage to fish 50-60 foot of line without bothering each other. you basically explained a common method of mine thats been a staple of mine from a very young age on even stream trout... Never heard of the name swymphing but it makes sense. It is a deadly method and often when Ive rotated with other folks that technique was a high success when rotations took place. Often in the first or second cast. Switch rods compliment the technique very well. Those patterns work very well fished that way. Hope everyone has success with them. They are fairly simple to tie as well.

We could and hopefully will, Andy. Wayne and I fished on Clint's rock 5' from each other and did well last fall.  Wayne took the nymphing seam, I took a short swing in the tail. Both produced fish.

The raffle winner was BigBear and he will receive a leather bound, parchment paper fishing log.
Just remember, there's a second part to this swap folks- now we got to fish 'em. I dedicated a section of one of my boxes to the swap flies. I'll use them wherever i feel they'll work. First person to catch a salmon or steel on one of the swap flies not their own will win some ceramic nippers and some flouro tippet.  Please try to get a pic if you can, otherwise we'll go on the honor system if you have a good corroborating story.  Looks like we beat the run with the swap, I'll get them out as soon as I can. 

That is some bad azz sheet !!!!
Awesome guys and I too will fish them all !!
Congrats to bigbear :) right on with the leather journal !!!
Now I'm stoked to hit the tribs again.
