Not quite entomology swap

Let's do a swap based on the FAOL not quite entomology series. Here's a link if you need it.


[url=http://www.flyanglersonline.com/features/nqento/archive.html:51dc4]Not quite entomology archives[/url:51dc4]

I would like each swapper to pick one category from the series (i.e. sedges, stones, etc.) and tie a fly that represents it during any of its stages of life. Please no duplicate categories. Let's try to get as many representatives here as we can. Please pick your category when you sign up. I will hold off and tie something from whatever categories are left after signups are completed. If all goes well, we should be able to end up with a pretty decent variety of flies that cover a fair spectrum of the trout's food sources.


Limit will be 13 swappers, including the swapmeister. Deadline for signup will be on July 21. Each swapper should send 12 flies (13 if you want one of your own back) to me by August 21 with proper return postage and packaging, a crushproof container, and toetags.

I would like to get into this swap as well, I've only been tying for 8-9 months now but can tie some pretty decent chronomid pupa patterns.

I'll tie a gold bead purple chronomid pattern I came up with that I have caught a few trout on.

Hey Blue,

I usually don't swap during the summer, but I've been hit with a case of the tying blahs. Maybe a swap is just what I need to get the juices flowing again.

Put me down for an ant pattern that was very successful on the Selway at the last Idaho Fish-In.

Welcome aboard! You are all signed in.

[TerryB]

Please sign me up. I'll tie midges.

Thanks,
Terry

Oops, I messed up. I didn't see the previous post for the chronomid.

I had planned on a bead head midge. If you are okay with that or I can do a scud.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Terry

[BadBug]

How about the BWO catagory for me.

Terry,
You're ok with the midge. Since there is both a midge and a chironomid category, we can separate them as 2 distinct entries.

You are both in! Welcome!

Thanks Ol' Blue! Bead head it is.
