the Total-Hatch Swap

[smallieFanatic 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.

I was kinda thinking of a dragonfly, a leafhopper, and maybe a caterpillar.

 

What do you think Jan?

 

[smallieFanatic 0]

Perhaps you could do something like you dragon fly and nymph to follow along with the theme? Well whatever works out.

Sure, put me down for a dragonfly.

 

p.s Do you think I should tie two dragonfly nymphs? One in a #14 and another on a #10, or something like that? That way it still follows the theme.

 

 

[smallieFanatic 0]

Sure that sounds good.
