I had a special valentine present today when I arrived home from work. While the rest of the participants are eagerly awaiting their packages I have already begun enjoying my bounty. I have an alien specimen courtesy of Kevin Morlock which I’m not sure what I’m going to do with. You’ll know which one is his, it is the one with half a rabbit hide and a size 3/0 hook.

Lots of good flies all around, I already have some new ideas and I can’t wait to try out what other people are using. The swap was a great time and I think it was a great way to introduce yourself to different ideas and concepts for carp flies. Good bless you McTage.
