Hey L8APX, did my flies make it to you ontime?
X 2.

I'll take salt, end of May!
So far I have got two sets of flies from what appears to be AK and AC. Nice work guys, where are the rest of them?
Been working like a beast lately but managed to tie up a small handful tonight. I would like to see em off but not sure who to send them to?
Been busy with work and moving but mine will go out this week.
I will see if I can get some tied up this weekend. March 15th is a huge deadline at work and as a public accountant, I have been slaving away the last couple weeks....I know....blah blah.
Send them to me at the address above. You have til April 1st.
Just got back from about 2 weeks in Costa Rica. I will try and get some out but might have to add when the box gets to the Tetons.
Sublime, is the list updated? I'd take Slot 2 (trout box) in May as I have some time on the water planned.
L8APX - I'll get some flies in the mail to you in a few days, they'll be there by April 1st...

How is this going? Anyone do any fishing with the flies yet? Maybe we could get a quick pic of the box on its first trip out!
I'd be up for slot 1 in May, then I could meet up with and hand off in a river, the box to Point em. I was just emailing with him trying to narrow down a day to do some fishing.

Holy shit! I need to make a trip to the east for some of those pigs someday.
So I guess I should be fishing in SoVT, eh??

The box is on it's way to MN. Nice asortment of bugs in there. Everyone who gets the box should post a picture of the contents before fishing it.
Would you look at what the UPS man left on my doorstep! Now I have to choose where to fish first, fight the crowds for the WI Trout Opener (the early season closed yesterday) or head to the North Shore, there are a couple flies that have steelhead/looper written all over them.
I'm all but positive I won't have the luck to L8PX had, I've seen a handful of fish like that around here, and then only once that didn't involve shocking the river with the DNR. I will give it a try, I need to plan my two weeks!

Well my time with the box has come to a close. I used, and lost one fly, put a half dozen "regional" favorites that I'd love someone out west to try, and had a fantastic day fishing. Didn't get to really use my time like I would have liked, heavy rain for 19 days will make for a tough couple weeks. But today the box and I caught a dozen browns over 12 inches, a ton of 8 inch fish, and I dropped the box off with Point Em on my way home, and enjoyed a fine beer. I did take a couple picks that I will get posted when I'm at a computer. What a great day...

mnfly did indeed drop the box my my casa, and I fed him some fine homebrew courtesy of my boss (dude is a master brewer).
It's been raining a shitton here so everything is blown, to smithereens.... making for a tough go on the midwest leg of the Vagabond box.
Mushmouth, looks like you're next. PM me your address and I'll get this bad boy in the mail.
The box arrived in NYC about 6 days ago. I don't have much use for all the little things in it, but was able to land a LMB on the grasshoppah...will post pics/vid shortly.
Who's next?
Mail it over to me(too late to sign up now?), or hand deliver it and we can throw at some fish. Footage would be great as they are in a foot of water or less.
Where are you now?Quote:

I'd be down for an August or October slot.
The box arrived in WY yesterday! There is some really nice stuff in there. Can't wait to get out and try a few bugs.
Good to hear it made it. Sorry 2ndM!
So...where are the pics Schwerty? Have you caught any fish with flies from the box? If so, which ones?
I can't take pics to save my life. Don' t even take a camera outside of my phone, which rarely comes out.Quote:

Some really cool bugs in there! Let's keep this going.
I am happy to send it along the line. Who's next?
I think I'm next but I'm about to leave for week of fishing with family up in Ennis on Sat. I'd say we could do the hand-off there or something but you're down by Jackson aren't you Schwerty? You can just keep it an extra week as the first slot in August is open and then I can send it on to Gretch for the end of the month??Quote:

Don't worry about trying to get up there this next week. You can just hang on to it and I'll send you my info when we get back.Quote:

I think Schwerty must still have it. I think I was next up but someone else can have it if they want. Unless we have a winter that is off the charts I'm sure I'll get out some this ski season so I don't mind taking it whenever there is a opening later.
