Fly Swap Round 2?

[The Caddis]

Thanks for having me, not sure what I'll tie, but probably a size 22 something.

[Flysmallie]

I'm in. Still undecided on what to tie. Any suggestions?

[timsfly]

Tie a #20 or #22 thread midge, I'm going to tie one that is brown, with a black head, tie one that is olive or red with a black head, and rib it with copper or silver wire if you want, I don't think it is always needed but it does add some color on a cloudy day.

Tie the body of a nice olive thread

I taper the body a bit, and then just tie

a black head just a bit bigger than your tapered

body. I think somebody earlier suggested this fly.

It is good fly to use, you can dress it up some if you

want with a glass bead or a brass bead if you have some that

small. Do your best I'm sure it will turn out well for you.

Good luck.

[Flysmallie]

Alright I'll tie a #20 Olive Thread Midge that timsfly has suggested but will probably use a bead for the for the head. The smallest fly I have tied so far is a #16 so this ought to be interesting. I apologize in advance for the fly you get from me!

Smallmouth just don't eat this small, they like big meals like me!!!

[Terry Beeson]

I apologize in advance for the fly you get from me!

Once you see the fly you get from me, you'll see there were no apologies needed... toward me anyway....

Ugly flies catch more fish. At least that's what I keep telling myself. Some of mine aren't near as pretty as others, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

motroutbum:

We need an address for shipping the flies to you.

Recommend we include the following, same as Fly Sway #1.

How many flies do we send?

A return mailer with our address on it.

Include a dollar or two for shipping expenses.

[motroutbum]

I would say since there are 17 people, just round it up and send 20. To make it even. When you complete the flies, send them with your name on a business card or a 3x5 with your recipie and the name of the fly. also include a return mailer with your name on it. Send a dollar or 2 what ever you see fit to help me with mailing expenses. Lets try to get these flys done and mailed by the 13th. I would like to mail them out before I go to fresno. my address is

Your promptness will be greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions, just ask me or anyone else who participated in fly swap 1. If you can get your flys in the mail before the 13th that would be even better.

motroutbum - Would a Postage Paid Return Envelope be acceptable instead of sending you some money?
