Sorry about that Bighand. Did not know that the PM's were that full. There were still some in there from before changes were made to the site (before the site went down). Have deleted, so you should be able to get a PM through now !!!! Thanks !!!! I received a package of some very juicy Christmas Trout Candy from Hortoncreek. Thanks !!!! These look fantastic.and will certainly find a place in a large Trout's lip !!!!!

Just received a package from Anthony with some excellent Inverted Midge Emergers (upsidedown). I especially love this stage of Midge development since the Midges are the most vunerable to the Trout, and big Trout know it. Thanks Anthony !!!
We have two sets of Midges in from Bighand; The Mimi Kinks and a size 20 Midge Chironomid (red), and both with the Signature Bighand quality (can't wait to see one in the lip of a large Trout or Bass). While we have been freezing with overcast and rain (along with snow up in th mountains), Bighand just down the road has been getting dusted. Yes, he is in the famous Haboob country that makes drives between Tucson and Phoenix very scary.
This was a great day to stay under the covers in bed, stay warm, or sit at the vise with a good drink. I chose to stay under a warm blanket and dream Of Midge fishing for Big Trout with some of these great patterns from Sno-Fly IX !!!

If you have some no shows/no responds like you mentioned let me know and I would be happy to tie another round of them to send over to you. I'm also close. I'm on the other side of you and Gary over in Chandler hehe.

Thanks jojackc for the offer. I did receive contact from Ian Christie (on the list) from Perth, UK and he is getting his Buzzers posted to the States (should be 3-5 days via airmail). For right now we are OK. Will contact you if things change .

I received a package from Rick Takahashi containing TAK'S CRYSTAL CHIRONOMID (from Rick), and HUBKA'S UL RED RISER (from Jerry). Talk about deadly Christmas Trout Candy !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Rick and Jerry !!!!!!!! It is cold outside, with snow up in the Mountains. I sit at my vise, and dream of very large Trout with Midges from Sno-Fly in their lip. What a neat Christmas present to each one of us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Andy. No problem. Hope work is going better for you, or at least in a positive direction.

Mine will be done by this weekend as well. Sorry for the tardiness, but the bottom line is I'm no longer unemployed. No excuse though.

Sno-Fly IX Update
I received a package from Ian Christie yesterday. Ian is owner of Flybox in Perth, UK and a fantastic tyer as well. If you follow a lot of the great patterns that come off the Bug Bond web site, you will see what I mean (plus check out his patterns on Facebook and Flybox). When it comes to Buzzers, he is an expert. You will love his Olive Spanflex Buzzer with Sunburst Flame Cheeks (hmmmmmmm........sounds like a Christmas gourmet treat for Trout and Grayling, and any other fish you might cast this to). Big thanks Ian !!! Gus contacted me to let me know that his Midges should be arriving any moment.
Just have Roy Christie, and Andy Baird left. Everything looks great, and the extra time has me throwing something extra into the Christmas Stocking !!!
Well, I just gotta get motivated to get the Christmas lights up, then it will be back to the vise for some more tying !!!!
