Sjo 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2010 OK...first time for a swap now that I am in WA. 12 flies due to me by 1 May and you won't get your own back. Any more than 12 will be considered swapmiester gratuity and retained. Other than that, normal swap rules apply. I'm cool with international swappers as long as they include some dollars to cover return postage. My post office is in hicksville and they will not take the coupon even though I have protested many times. Reply with "I'm In" and state your pattern or TBD. Thanks for joining. Big E - Mirage Buzzer 1. Dezod - Garcias Rojo Midge 2. David Legg - Bloody Midge 3. Firetiger - Czech buzzer 4. Flytire - TBD 5. Jeremy Parker - TBD 6. Caddis Cowboy - Bi-colored brassie 7. Cencalfly - TBD 8. Brian Myers - Black Sally 9. Bigdewy - BH Chiro 10. Rockworm - TBD 11. Professori - DH Chiro 12. I'm in, green brassie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

professori 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2010 BigE - Send me your address please. I have never tied these double head chironomids before, but I got started and they looked so I good, I couldn't stop. Hope you like them as much as I do (I am now busy filling up my flybox with a few varieties of DHCs) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't worry flytire, this is what I have sent. Chironomids come in all kinds of sizes. Here in British Columbia,99% of all chironomid fishers fish lakes (and 99 % of lake fly fhishers are fishing chironomids at some point!) and we are usually fishing size 10 - 16.

Dezod 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2010 Flytire I wouldn't worry about too big, I am tying the rojo's big. I keep them from size 10 for the lakes to size 22 for the talwaters. I will be tying #12's Professori those are sweet looking double midge things. C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
