Intruders for sale?

Any idea on where I could get a dozen or so intruders? Are they available at any local flyshops? I dont tie much now with two little kids and a business but would like to swim a few this spring. Thanks

They take a long time make

Thanks again H2H, I just want to get ahold of a few then try tying up some over time based on a pro tied pattern.

H2H, TT Jerry and he will have em done by Monday! Nice guy and having some health issues so I am happy to buy a dozen from him. He appreciated your referral.

Once again, Brian is 'on spot,' as the Brit's would say. Jerry, aka sthd69 is one of the very! best custom tiers (sp?) in the PNW.

Intrud's a ROYAL PAIN IN THE .. to tie, but the buggers do work very well. Don't know what he's charging, but if you've ever tried to tie the darn things ... send him a check!!

Sheesh.

Thee easy to make, Jerry thought they where tuff to make but after he made a few he change his mind a little.

After you make a few there easy!

"...after he made a few he change his mind a little."

Bingo!

Jerry may tie them. He may cash your check. He doesn't send the flies, and doesn't reply to emails.

I wrestled with the ethics of using this board to vent but have decided that the truth should prevail since a certain tyer of flies was recommended by a fellow board member. Unfortunately JimZ's was not an isolated experience, as I too have been similarly disappointed. I trust there is a good explanation for failure of delivery other than incompetence or malfeasance, but for now I admonish, "Let the buyer beware!"

I'll send him an E-Mail with a copy of thiese post attached

OK, I've sent message by E-Mail and PM at his hang outs

Sorry about this, Im working on it

Hey, I don't check this board. Thanks for letting me know about this Brian.

My email has been locked up for about 2 weeks. I haven't been able to access it at all. It's where all the addresses were stored. I have about 8 orders on hold, but they are tied up and ready to go. All I need is a PM here and I'll send them express mail. I'm sorry, had no idea where most people were from. I am accessing the net through AOL CD's until I can get my business account cleared up. So if any of you (John, Jakob, Mark, Jim, and I'm going to have to find the rest of the names) are on this board, please PM me here. I'm on way too many boards, so wasn't sure how many found me off the boards (or which boards) or who found me from my geocities site. I even tied up extras, hoping I'd get my email access back up.

I do apologize. I am going to change from using the email address book for the PO addresses. Only orders I've been able to send were paypal paid where I could access the mailing addresses.

KK, I'm usually quick on mailing out the flies, unless it's a custom order where I have to order specialty hooks (most wholesalers make you order minimum $50, so a small order really kicks you in the butt). This was a fluke, but it's killing me. I'm going to hate how many emails I have to catch up on since I get 30 or so a day on that account as it is.

Oh, and Mark, you were WELL within your right to vent here. I'm glad you did. At least I can get these to you now. This whole experience has helped me alot, is making me revamp how I'm doing things that's for sure. Been nice though, have been doing alot of phone calls with customers which is nice. More personal then just emails.

Just want to post a note of thanks to H2H for his diligence in addressing Steelheader69's problems of contacting customers recommended to him by the board. Jerry has emailed me and will correct his shipment difficulties, and hopefully he can find all his missing customers. Thanks again to H2H.

I also got a private message from Jerry. I do hope he pulls this together.

I've knowen Jerry for ages, he's a 'stand up' guy. If he says he's got a problem (and I've gone through the 'blowen up' computer thing!! :>(!! ) he's giving you the straight scoop.

Known SH 69 for 3 years great honest fellow you can depend on.

Yeah, I've felt really bad. Was hoping I'd get more calls, since I have my phone number at the bottom of all my emails (think I still have it on there). So I did get a few calls, so was able to get flies out that way. I know a couple of the orders are for summerrun/springer flies. So some of the guys may not be a super hurry. But hoping to get my email situation cleared up. Luckily between the AOL CD's and using my Dad's login from his prodigy, I have access.

Jerry, "shxt happens." Never 'convienent' in it's timing.
:>)

My flies have arrived. Problems happen.

Good answer!
