I have 5 spaces left in the "midge" swap.

Welcome bigdewy..Glad to have you on board.

I was looking by you...maybe it's the Morris canal? Have any pics of the flies you tied for opening day?

Is it the Lopatcong? Merrill Cr ...Or Pohatcong Cr... lol They have names...

I've been fishing all week and going tomorrow also. I've been fishing the Pequest TCA since they stocked it. Saturday & Sunday I'm just staying home. Or I'll go and look how the Musky is fishing at Saxton falls and Stephens State park.. What r your plans???

Thanks for the information about fishing them small hooks...I never noticed that, but now I'll stay with size #24 and above..Don't wont to kill a trout.

I got some Mustad C49s #24 hooks. They are small, All I came up with, was red thread and a silver bead head.. They worked good on the trout the other day. But, I would still like to do something else with them. Any ideas??? I'm thinking size #24 is to small for me to tie on anything except thread and dubbing.

Bump!!!

Place me on that list...I'd like a small one if you decide to make them...

I gave you a few more of the basics...Now get tying!!! We only have 2 days left :yahoo:

Got it... CDC Midge Pupa!..

Maybe I should change mine to a #32 black ant...... ?????? If you want..Go ahead and change it...#32 black ant sounds great!!!

A quick basic list for NJ.. I like them all bead heads... 1. Prince nymph #14-20 2. Pheasant tail #14-20 3. Hare's Ear #14-18 4. Scuds #14-20 5. Woolly Bugger #10-14 6. RS2 #18-22 brown, grey 7.

Note: I'll will be giving away a pack of Vince Marinaro Midge Fly hooks Size #24 for the smallest best dressed fly I receive in this swap. Good Luck, Everyone!!!

Thanks for joining..I got you for a #22 TBA for now...

avril..We'll figure something out. Glad to have you!!!

I would love a small one.. The size of a regular mens wallet, this way I can place it in a shirt pocket.

Not a problem..You're In.

Thinking of holding my first swap if their is enough interest in this swap idea. Or, if anybody else wants to host it, that would also be great!!!

I thought the same.... :wallbash:

OMG...That is one slick frog popper...That is a work of art..I wouldn't even think of fishing that one..

I fished the nymph pattern I tied for the swap and had great success with the brookies & bows today.Hope everybody else who get's them has the same success that i have fishing them... NJF
