I’m feeling the cold weather already (yes even in Arizona). If you are like me, you refuse to hang up the fly rod during the Winter months, & cranking new patterns out
at the vise, you just itch to test them out.
Well ohhh midge maniacs & bifocally impaired
freaks who still tie 32’s…this swap is especially for you. I’m asking for 12 tyers
to join this 3rd annual celebration of splitting the fly tying atom. Sign-up deadline is November 5th, with a finish (send
the midges in) December 10th.
Midge patterns in the larva, pupa, emerger, or adult stage; sizes 22 to 32 !!!
I am excited, since there are always great new & cutting edge patterns that show up in this swap. If last year is any indication, the list will fill up fast !!!
Once I get the full sign-up, I will close & send out final instructions & e-mail list.
Since ya have till December 10th to complete & send patterns, I figure that’s plenty of time !!! Sooooooooo get yer bifocals (or appropriate magnification ready) & go for it !!!

It’s early in the morning, I’m weak, it’s cold out, why not? If’n you’ll have me, I’ll give it a whirl. Don’t know what yet … but when I wake up, I’ll figure it out!
This sure is looking great !!! We have one more spot left with three over on the New smallstreams.com wanting to join !!!
Don’t worry Betty, you’ll really enjoy this swap & get some amazing midges to boot (anyhoo, #32’s are great for the arthritis lol) !!! reversedparachutes, gstrand, & mickfly answered over on smallstreams.
Again, just one spot left. We have a nice mix of veterans, & greenhorns !!! I sure am looking forward to seeing great patterns !!!
We have only one spot left !!!
Sorry Mikey (Freudian Slip) !!! stream-fisher.com !!!
Trying to talk Onecast into taking the last
spot. In celebration of this being the 3rd year, I’m tying up three new patterns. If any of you feel like overachievers, feel free to tie more then one. Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be 32’s (I’m not totally sadistic lmao) !!!

You have the last spot Dry Fly Guy.
That means the swap is now closed.
Deadline once again to send the midges is
December 10th. You will be tying 13 ; one of your own will be returned to you for your file !!!
I will get together an e-mail list.
Again, if you feel like an over achiever feel free to tie an extra pattern.
Patterns are to be tagged with your name,& name & size of pattern & recipe. I put my patterns in a pill bottle & then inside a bubble mailer. You will want a smaller bubble mailer inside (self addressed & stamped). Ya pretty much know the routine.
Send patterns to:
