It looks like just seven of us. I am somewhat surprised after all of the talk about invisible flies at the Michigan fish-in but I am looking forward to seeing how you deal with improving visibility on your flies.
Hello Jim, I’m ready for that mailing address. kev
I could tie my version of the Paul Lasha’s “racoon” midge in size 20-24. Believe it or not, older people can see the thing as it has a white foam back and the pattern kicks butt with fussy fish.
Aftershaft I should have posted the swap as closed at the end of November as that was the original final date to sign up. That said we are short of a full group and if no one has already mailed their flies or has another objection I would love to see that fly. I have to leave for Florida where we believe my mother is dying in a few hours so I won’t be able to poll everyone on this. If everyone is agreeable to adding another swapper please post your consent. I think in all fairness since it is past the original deadline that anyone can veto a change. I will not have a computer or Internet access while I’m gone. While I expect to be back well before this swap ends I will be staying as long as I’m needed. I beg your indulgence if I appear to have fallen off of the cyberplanet.
Jim, its ok by me.
I am sorry to hear about your Mom.
God Bless and Our Prayers are with You.
Bill & Jean
I’m fine with another swapper.
You bet, another “Swapper” would be just fine.

Then I’ll join too. Thanks everyone.
Another swapper is ok by me

Another swapper is fine. You do what you need to do. Will be thinking about you on this arduous trip. Take care. kev
I just got back from Florida. Thank you to everyone for their prayers and well wishes. Mom is doing better than we had expected is now in a nursing home for what is hoped to be a short rehabilitation.
All right! Great news!
And, I think the decision while you were away was to let me into the swap

Hi-Vis Tan Quill
Hook: 2X long Dry

Could I get in with a High Vis Royal Wulff?? Let me know, I can definitely have these out by the end of the month!!
Thanks, G
Gt2fly As it is past the sign-up deadline I will again put it up to the other swappers. If no one objects you can start tying. I have rather tardily marked the swap as closed now. I’m looking forward to seeing everyones work soon.
If not it’s no problem!! Just let me know in a couple of days!!
Thanks, G
it’s fine with me. i’ll just tie up a dozen and if there are 12 tyers, fine. if not, host gets some extras.
Jim, there’s room for another and as far
as I’m concerned, he’s more than welcome.
There are 12 flies in the mail, addressed to
to you as we speak. Then, as was said, “Should
there be any extras they’re yours”. (That’s the
price you pay being “The Swapmeister”.)
