I changed my mind about tying the miracle midge. I did very well on the Current this thursday with a midge I call the blueberry snowcone(#22) which changed my mind pretty quick. I have my fourteen tied, but it looks like I might want to hold off on mailing them in. I'd be more than happy to tie a few more if more join the swap. Looking forward to everyone's flies, especially Leonard's since I'll probably fish them at Taneycomo.

 

Cheers,

I hope my good friend Graham Owen doesn't mind !!!!! Just had to post a picture of one of his realistic midges !!!!!

Graham is on our Sno-Fly list, and a fantastic tyer !!!!!! Go to his realistic fly and photography gallery and check it out if you haven't yet. He ties many realistics for movies, plus an excellent tyer when it comes to fishables !!!!!!
