Bill those tiny little flies look impressive. The ruler in the pic really puts into perspective how small they are. I look forward to seeing them in person.
Well 4 sets of flies are in and sounds like there are more on the way. All the flies are looking good and this is shaping up to be a real good swap.
Take care and have a happy new year!

:rolleyes:Tim,
I have No Idea how I am able to do them,He** I can't walk down the street and chew gum at the same time and You've seen me tie a fly on it takes me "Forever:D
Just wanted to let everyone know that my bettles went in the mail today.
Looking forward to seeing what comes back.
Yonks thanks for hosting.
Mini Herl Buggers were shipped today.
Thanks, Yonks!
Will be tying a mosquito emerger and will do that tomorrow. Flies in the mail Friday.
Thought the pattern good because it uses both stripped and full herl... And it catches lots of fish!

This is my version of the mosquito emerger, though it seems suggestive of a lot of things other than mosquitos...

Fish it with the antron well-greased in a chironomid hatch or in the same zip code as a grayling... The loop of antron floats it well because of the light hook and is remarkably easy to see for old eyes.
Tied it on Mustad 94831 #16 hooks.
Denny's cree for tailing fibers
Stripped herl for the abdomen
herl for the thorax
Antron for floatant loop and fibers
Should arrive very soon...

Flies put in the mail today. Thanks to the swapmeister for running this swap.
Hey everybody. I received the last two sets of flies this weekend. Sorted them all out tonight and they will go in the mail on monday.
I had tied an extra pattern (blood midge) in case we had any problems with flies coming in, so I will just send that out as a bonus fly. Thanks to all for participating. All the flies look great!
Let me know when you receive your flies. If you have any problems receiving your flies please let me know. I'll try to post pictures and recipes when I have a chance.
Thanks again everyone!

Well I forgot that Monday was a Holiday....so the flies actually went in the mail today.
Let me know when you receive yours.
