Re: SNO-FLY VIII (Midge Swap) Officially Closed (List Is Fu
To give a recent post deadline update, I received a very nicely tied package of Midges from Andy Baird.
I am still waiting on Roy Christie (whose package is in the mail and on the way over the Big Pond), and Michael Johnson
(who has not contacted me after leaving him a voice message and e-mail).

Have received Mike Johnson's Thread Chironomid (has San Juan written all over it). Very nice :bigthumb: !!! We have one package left to arrive. Roy Christie mailed his package of Midges 10 days ago :problem: . Me thinks the Royal Boat Captain has taken a liking to our Tequila and just may be passed out somewhere :crazy: . I do hope he stumbles in today. :sick: :rpuke: .......uhhhhhhhh no puking on deee midges !!!!!!
Once Roy's package arrives, I can get everything back out in the mail to all of you. ;)
Today's Addendum.......No Roy Package Yet !!!!!! Is there Midge Fishing in BF Egypt ??? Well, hopefully the Royal Boat Captain will come stumbling in Monday (?) :?

This may be the million dollar question for the ages........WHERE IS ROY'S MIDGES ???????? :think:
We are at the mercy of the United States Postal Service (as well as maybe UK Postal Service, & Customs).
I hope they arrive soon, so as the Sno-Fly packages can be sent out soon !!! Roy's Midges are worth the wait (I promise you) !!!!!!!!! :bigthumb:

OK, those have gone forever... :x :x
I've made a new set :o
:D
BUT
the next post is on Wednesday.
If you guys will wait until New Year this batch should be at Alpinefly's house.
If the first batch arrives meantime, then wait for these anyway and you get two.
OK?
The first set was -
#28 94840, white thread
distressed motherofpearl lurex body
grey hackle
dubbing thorax
These are -
#24 TMC 508
rusty brown thread
krystalflash rib
grey hackle
oh - and a couple #28s

With the wait, it motivated me to tie a third set of midges for everyone :) ; then Mikey (Johnson) reminded me that I usually tie 3 sets of midges :eh: . Could not be anything like last year with two list of swappers ( :shock: ohhhhhh my poor Bi-Focally impaired eyes will never be the same) !!!!!!

Re: SNO-FLY VIII (Midge Swap) Officially Closed (List Is Fu
Roy,
As I mentioned before, you should not have to tie a third set. I can maybe understand a package getting lost in the mail the first time (even though it is hard to :roll: ), but when you send it a second time, and it does not (as of yet) show up (twice in a row ???), that is plain "F"ing ridiculous. What is worse is The Postal service's response that they are not responsible :wtf: for lost packages. :x I will wait to the end of the week, then will send Sno-Fly packages out. Either way you will get a box of midges. If after the fact, your midges do arrive (after I have sent out the packages), I will eat the postage :rpuke: (should shove the Airmail stamps up their bloody inefficient arse :twisted: ), and make sure that everyone on the list gets a Roy Special (ya sure that there is not a Top Secret :shh: Pattern in there that Scotland Yard might of picked up on.....let alone the United States Customs ??? :think: ) !!!
