Murf, July 31st deadline for them to be in your hot little hands, sounds good to me...  Will start tying right away as soon as I figure out what I want to tye...   Rodney...     ----- Original Message ----- From: David Murphy To: vfb@troutnet.com Sent: Friday, March 25, 2005 4:30 PM Subject: [VFB] ALL IOFF members report please, 1st IOFF swap Attention "First Ever" IOFF Member SWAPPERS! The first ever IOFF swap is about to close at midnight tonight.  You folks who were NOT sure about the time allotted have been given a reprieve as we did the math and figured if you could tie 50 in 8 months, then 30 in 4 months wouldn't hurt a bit.  This is the NEW math. If you are an IOFF member and NOT in this swap, I want an excuse note from your doctor.  If you are in, just wait until I post the list this weekend to check for your name.  Bob Haering is going to get his flys done in April since his new job as Vice President begins in May after the major hatches are over. I'm telling you the diehards are all in this; Byard, Tony, DonO, Mr. Fish, Joyce, Rene, Ginger, Denny, Kev, Larry..... nope, gotta wait to know the rest of the 33.  Now, you've got 5 1/2 hours to decide. Right now it would help if those dropping out or who said they'd consider if the timing were longer, PLEASE CONTACT ME AS YOU ARE ON THE LIST!  Why?  Because the final tally looks to be about 30 flys due July 31st.  Fair?  Well, I met you all half-way. I'll post the rules and I've relaxed them just a smidge.  The big issue is tying about 30 flys the best you can which will be displayed in shadow boxes and on the VFB even if I have to buy space.  No worms, eggs or patterns not requiring effort. Some folks might not be as experienced as others but they can tie a couple of flys a week and even take their 3 week vacation to rest their overworked fingers.  DON'T PROCRASTINATE!  Start your first fly this weekend.  Just one to see if its the pattern you want to tie.
