That'll do. Being as my wrist is feeling better today, you should probably send in your flies so as I try mine out (Read: So that I can false cast it a few times and put it 15' up in a tree branch)

Hey guys, sorry for the delay. I just got home from an 11 day hiatus filled with some family, and a lot of work. I literally walked in the door 5 minutes ago after a drive from Roseau to Winona, so I'm going to likely drink one beer and crash for the night. I will package the flies up tomorrow morning, as well as take and post pictures of each members individual flies.

Flies should be arriving over the next few days. I'd like to thank everyone for their participation in the swap. If we draw more interest, I'd gladly host a themed January swap as well.

Here are the flies that were entered in the swap.

Also, you'll notice that you have an extra fly in your packages. OnAFly was generous enough to include an extra Grape Slushie for each swapper.

Thanks again guys! Hopefully we can draw a bit more interest for future swaps!

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Great news, thank Skunked

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
