These bugs need to be tied with weight (I prefer tungsten bead heads, but that's just me), and proven patterns would be nice. Up to 12 tiers, you could tie 11 of one pattern and 11 of another pattern or you could just tie up 22 of the same pattern.
Once we have enough tiers, I'll set a due date and send out my address.

Ok guys I have three guys who say their flies are in the mail as of 2:00 on Saturday and one guy dropping his off Monday morning. See the top of the thread to check the status. I will wait until Wednesday at the latest to recieve flies. After that I'll package what I have up and ship all on Thursday.
Ira,
I can deliver Caveman's flies to him once the swap flies are distributed. Maybe just pick up both batches at your front door whenever you're ready.
Well shit mine were returned to me today....two days after pickup!! Had a note saying it was considered a parcel and needed more postage. I turned around and sent them right back out. Hopefully be there by tomorrow.
hey Chris Not sure that Ira has any control over the mail. Why the harsh comment? This is a good swap and I can't wait to see your flies with the others.
Chris, I don't think your comment was harsh and my comment about "in the mail" was tounge in cheek so I'm not bugged at all about flies being a bit late. The only rush on this one is my desire to send them all out before a trip I'm taking on Thursday because I'm bringing the flies with me
Thanks. Look forward to seeing the flies. If you are ever on this side, I would be glad to take you to my "Home Lake" Medical Lake. Great chironomid fishing for some bruiser rainbows.
Well Canadian brother, I'm afraid yours did not make it I time. Now what do we do with the extra flies. I would like to ship these out first thing in the morning, but I'll give you some options first.
1. I give you your flies back
2. I randomly, yet evenly redistribute the left over flies
3. You tell me you are willing to wait a few more days for the last batch
4. You tell me to keep your extra two flies
5. Other
I'll wait until tomorrow morning to hear any responses.
Ira, I say you keep them. Some of us screwed you with not providing return postage. The PO Office screwed you by charging wrong shipping. You are the swap master. You have been patient with us all. I say you keep all extra flies.
I am in no hurry to get the flies and I am happy to wait until they arrive. I'd actually like to see his flies since I am heading that way in May to fish the BC lakes of his region.
Ira, while I already said do whatever you want, it would be cool to see what our friends from the north use. If it isn't a problem, I can wait also.
