umm..I'm sending twelve. I found that other one I tied, but it's in a different color and I was gonna tell you to send it to me, but that's unnecessary since I already have it. don't know when I'll be scoring more #28s. prolly sometime the week I head back up to the juan.
sorry.

here we go again...
while toe tagging these leetle sumbeeches I lost one. so I'll be delayed a bit whilst I run to rohmer's shop and pick up some #28s (sportsman's warehouse if I'm lucky).
and I'll tie two so I meet the meister's criteria.
stoopit small flies. a trip to the juan is in order john.

Flies are on their way! Toe tags are rough when the fly is so small!

This is sounding great. For all of you who are having a problem getting e-mail, I will post on this site & stream-fisher.comas well.
If you did not receive the 2 article connections via e-mail, here they are.
The first is by John Schrock from Kansas School Naturalist: Snow Flies [url=http://www.emporia.edu/ksn/v38n2-may1992/KSNVOL38-2htm:f48ca]http://www.emporia.edu/ksn/v38n2-may1992/KSNVOL38-2htm[/url:f48ca]
the next is on the Phantom Midge or Glass Worm:

Let me know if you have trouble connecting to these articles.
I have completed 2 of the 3 patterns so far;
the #28 "Juan Shot" which is a Green Midge,
the #22 "Sain Juan's Ghost" which is a Phantom Midge, & have to get started on the #32 Mirage Midge, which is the teeney Diptera. Luckily the materials came in for that. Yes, Eric at Orvis (Tucson) again says I'm a sick man for tying 32's. It's a wierd disease to tie & fish them........but it's fun gosh darn it lmao !!!!!
Better check the post office.
& Mikey, I hope that Donkey don't stop off at the Picacho Tavern to tie one on. Must check to see if the package from the Adams Swap is here yet. Nice day out. I'm staring at these midges & thinking San Juan River while at work (not good). Will have to head fishing over Thansgiving break.

BTW DUB......I feel yer pain. I have to get my bifocals fixed...thank God for my magnification viser !!!! Was fishing on the East Fork Black this summer before dark.
Tying a 22 BWO onto a 7X. 15 minutes later.... I'm still trying to get that 22 on !!!! ouch !!!!!!!!! The trout are slapping the water all over the place taunting me. I look over at my wife LOri & say "jeez...I'm going blind as a bat " !!!!!
Finally got the little rascal on & caught plenty of trout, but not without that blind struggle !!!!!
