The Caddis Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 OK, so where are we on this? If there are any extra's how about sending them to IRAQ (see the Flyfishing Iraq thread)?
Terry Beeson Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 I would second that motion, however, not sure they can use tiny midges for carp fishing in Iraq. Although, it would still be a nice gift for some of the guys to look forward to using when they get back to the states and try their new addiction on some trout...

Greg Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I received mine yesterday as well. Thanks to everyone and especially MTB. My fly was the dark brown midge. Recipe: #20 dry fly hook Dark brown 8/0 thread Xsmall copper ribbing Head - small grey ostrich herl. Works good for me as a dropper off a zebra midge or scud. I've caught some pretty good sized fish on it in the last couple of years.
