Cool--your in. Midges are great, just do an emerger in place of a spent.

I'm in with PMD's. If you don't mind, smallie, I'll do 4 emergers, 4 transitional nymphs, and probably 4 spent wings (or parachutes, whatever you prefer).

I'm in with a Caddis variation

[Sjo 0]

OK guys, this is a 'Total Hatch Swap' and this is how it works.

We all pick a certain Mayfly, Midge, or Caddis that hatches on whatever stream you fish the most.

Since we are tying 12 flies, you tie 4 nymphs, 4 Adults, and 4 Spent. If you are tying a caddis or midge, you can substitute the Spent by tying 4 emergers. Understand? To join just post an "I'm in" and name the insect you are tying.

(as in, "I'm in with a Blue Quill mayfly" etc. etc.)

When I have recieved all the sets, I mix them up and send them to everybody. As in you won't get you tin back, you will get somebody elses tin with all their flies in it. Make sense? Good! Lets fill these empty spaces. We'll see if we can make it to 15, if not then we'll go with 12. Due date will be August 20th to give us all plenty of time.

Every body tie 12 flies! 4 nymphs, 4 adults, and four spent (or in the case of caddis or midge, emerger)!!!

 

If you accept European tyers I'm in and will be tying the Sandfly AKA Rhyacophila Dorsalis in nymph, emerger and adult. Beforehand we have to consent on the issue of postage, since I can"t stamp the return envelope with Dutch stamps.

Cheers

Alright so in all this time we have painstakingly aquired only 8 swappers, so I am going to close up this swap tomorrow evening and then we can all get to tying our flies. I can't wait to see everyones stuff.

I thought we would fill this one up. Oh well.

Littleman, I agree completely. I think this is going to be a pretty fun swap.

Well, the swaps still open if you want to join. You could do a number of stuff like a March brown (nymph, dun, spent) or a Red Quill or a Misquito (Nymph, emerger, adult). Whatever fits your fancy. There are absolutely TONS of differant sets you could do.
