I am surprised that for a warm water swap there are so many small flies!
I’m in with a gray Matuka/Zonker minnow, probably size 10.

Additional idea: If we all tied one extra, then Wes could keep a set to raffle off at his local club or donate the set to one of his local fraternity that is just starting out. Not much extra trouble for us, but could get the ball rolling for someone or raise a few $$ for his club. Our club here has a raffle of flies every meeting and the kitty grows as a result.
