    Re: Sno-Fly VII. Modern Midges Celebration Swap PART TWO !!!!

    Personally, I would have no problem with it, but when I started adding to the list in the first swap, I had tyers get all anal and drop out !!!! I started a second swap with the idea I would keep this at 12 tyers, because, again, there are those on the list that would get mad :roll: about having more then 12 tyers !!!!! Let's see, I am hosting this swap (really two Sno-Fly swaps); everyone is getting a set of 3 Glo-Lite Series Midge emergers :shock: , so I am cranking out a total of 81 midges :crazy: . I just woke up this morning (I was awake till after midnight) and saw Andy's private message. I had posted the swap closed yesterday afternoon and the list was full !!!! I said to people on the first swap, get in, sign up, this will fill up fast !!!!
    The second list did the same !!!! There are a lot more tyers that wanted to get in that personally I would love to have in !!!!!

    that's a great fly.
    and like most effective midges are simple to tie.

    Thanks for the props mikeytwoshoes.... Alpinefly did PM me with a full explanation. I must be slowing down with age, I'll be quick off the mark next time. And these need a little more work before submission... :geek:

    FINAL INSTRUCTIONS: Most of you should know the swap routine by now !!!
    Put midges in a container or box that is protected (an Altoids box is always great or I use spare Walgreens pill bottles); Toe Tag with you name, name & size of pattern, and e-mail address !!! Place in a bubble mailer & place another folded self addressed & stamped Bubble Mailer inside !!!!!!

    Send Midges To: John Larson
    2224 N. Camino Castile #1018
    Tucson, Arizona 85715

    Mail-In Deadline is January 1st !!!!! As Larry The Cable Guy Says," GET ER DONE" !!!!!
    BTW Andy, that does look like one suhhhweeeet fly !!!!!!! I am one that would add more,
    but there are a few that frown on that !!!!
    This second list is also posted on Fly Tying Forum !!!!!
    The first list of Sno-Fly Swappers (posted on Fly Tying Forum) are really starting off with a bang ( the bar is always set high) !!!! I am all ready to head for a bit of midgeing !!!!!!!
    I do need all of your e-mail addresses if you can PM me with them !!!! Thanks !!!!!
    Cheers & Tight Lines !!!!
    John (Alpinefly)

    I just received a package all the way from Frisco, Colorado, and Kevin Evans .
    Now here is the added surprise. These very nicely tied #20 midges were tied by 6 year old Linet !!!! All I can say is Wow :shock: ....I am very impressed !!!! The future of Fly Fishing and Fly tying is in very good hands. I do hope all of you take time out and mentor an young child or youth in Fly Fishing and/or Fly Tying . You will be more then rewarded. :bigthumb:
    My two boys, Michael and Luke will have a new friend to show them the area streams next time we are in Colorado, and Linet can guide me too !!! Kevin, I know you are a real proud Dad !!!! :clap:
